ODD FELLOWS ANNIVERSARY

by q Grand Picnic at Ramon
Grove-Fine Weather, and q Large
Attendance.
Saturday last, April Goth, was the
seventy-6rst anniversary OF the
of the order of Odd Eel
lowship in America, and also the
thirty-first anniversary Of the laying
of the corner stone of the I. 0. q. f.
hall in Honolulu. It was celebrated
by Harmony and Excelsior Lodges
by a grand picnic at Ramon grove,
Manana.
A committee had been appointed
from the two lodges to make all
necessary arrangements, and right
we'll did the members do their work,
for the picnic was grand success
and not a hitch occurred to mar the
pleasures. Three trains left for the
grove during the day, the first at .
A. NJ. with about one hundred and
eighty persons. There we're three
trains from the grove, the last one
leaving there at 9:45 P. NJ. No less
than three hundred persons particl-
pated in the picnic.
Ramon Grove is charming place
for picnic. As soon as the Odd
Fellows committee settled on that
place, Manager Dillingham; OF the
Oahu Railway Company went to
work in his usual enterprising man
ner and had a magnificent pavilion
built there. The floor is the finest
for dancing on the islands. It is
| fitted up with ladies and gents dress
ing rooms and other conveniences.
It was surprise to those there at
dusk when the electric light was
turned on. The dynamo is run by
traction engine stationed near by.
Superintendent w. G.. Ashley was
attentive and obliging to all the
wants of the committee.
For the picnic the pavilion was
Hastily decorated with flags, ever
green's and flowers. The Hawaiian
Band under direction of Mr.. Berger
was there, and played in two sec
tions, the string band inside the
pavilion, and the brass outside
Dancing was INDUCED in from l p
M. until time for returning home
Mr.. III. III. Williams was floor man
ager, and good one too. Hart 4
Co. were the caterers on this occa.
sion and furnished the best of re.
freshments. The Tahiti Lemonade
Works supplied seventy dozen OF
bottled drinks and they just lasted
A baseball match, between girls
and boys, was an interesting feature
of the picnic. They played six in.
nings,the girls winning by score Of
II to 8. This was due in a great
measure, so one of the boys says, to
the umpire and scorer Mr.. John En-.
meluth, who being quite ladies
man, stretched a point or two in the
girls favor. The prize was group
