annual reception and entertainment given
by Wyoming ~commandery No. l, Knights
Templar. The hall was decorated with
rare good taste. The platform occupied
by the orchestra had been transformed
into a bower OF beauty with flags, bunt-
ing and appropriate insignia of the order.
Templar tents occupied two corners of the
room. The light fell in mellowed
streams through hand painted globes,
and shed a genial radiance over as pretty
a scene as the hall has ever witnessed.
Theattendance was large and the en-
semble strikingly attractive. The Temp
lars appeared in full regalia. The toilets
of the ladies were characterized by an ele-
gance unusual even among the well
dressed ladies of this city. The guests
were received by a committee consisting
of j. @. Baird, Mr.. Davis, Luke Voor,
hees and Rev. DIR. Rafter.
The early evening was devoted to a
musical programme, which was exceed
ngly entertaining and merited the rounds
of applause which greeted the various
nuubers. instrumental music was furn-
ished by the city orchestra. Miss Whit
comb sang a song, Waiting" with a
violin obligato by Prof. Hutchinson. Miss
Gillam's solo was entitled The Broken
Pitcher" Aquartette was sung by Miss
Marie Maynard, Miss Whitcomb, Miss
Moonlight and Mrs. Heath; a duet by
| Nc Hntl o-l Ne, NJ
light; a solo by Mr.. Hend-
erson and qunrtette by
Miss Moonlight, Miss Gillian, Mr.. Heath
and Mr.. Henderson. The musical pro-
gramme was under the direction of Prof.
Pasmore, and it is needless to say that it
was thoroughly enjoyed, A humorous
recitation by Miss Frost fittingly closed
this feature of the entertainment.
About 10 o'clock lunch was served I'M
der the direction of the Cheyenne club
steward. The tables were arranged in
the form Of crosses. An excellent repast
was provided, and discussed with thor
ough heartiness. AT its conclusion j. G..
Baird, as POSTMASTER, called upon Rev.
DR.. Rafter to respond to the toast
of ''Templarism,' which he did briefly
but eloquently. j. K. Jeffrey re-
sponded in behalf of the guests and
j. G. Baird gave a short recitation in
which he depicted the woes OF a curious
woman who attempted to penetrate the
Masonic mysteries.
The floors were then rapidly cleared
for dancing aud those who like to par
ticipate in that form of enjoyment were
given an opportunity to follow it to the
full bent of their inclination.
Taken altogether a more thoroughly
enjoyable entertainment has never been
given in Cheyenne. The committee of
arrangements for the affair consisted of
G. A. Campbell, j. *. Jeffrey and r. B.
Horrie. The hall decorations we're
