It is needless to say that friend
Mathaei outdid himself in preparing
such an excellent menu, and covered
himself all over with praise and
credit.
1t was a jolly crowd around the table,
full of fun and entertainment and ii
was caution to see those 200 knights
make their onslaught on that table
1t made the DAILY scribe feel very
tired and uneasy.
P. c., w. +. Long presided as Toast
Master, and brought dignity to the
discharge of the duty Rev Chapman,
of the First NJ. T. Church, delivered
the opening prayer. The address OF
welcome was delivered by NJ at A, U.
S. G. Pitzer, and was a very able and
stirring one. The response, by P. c.,
u. S. Mccartney, OF Valley Lodge No,
70, Hagerstown, was equally pleasant
and well-received. The remainder of
the program was as follows: "Our
Order, AS is, " NJ. off, J. F. Kreps, of
Williamsport Lodge. The Press, -

Benediction by Rev. Hofheins Of the
Reformed Church.
Col J. A Mutton, and Messrs. w. d.
Alvin and J. r. Brown, of Winchester,
responded to calls from the tables.
Everyone knows the jolly, eloquent
Colonel, and in a few minutes he had
the Knights wild with excitement and
admiration.
The evening was most enjoyable-a
feast of wisdom and flow ofsoul. Every
one felt the genial grace Of fellowship
and welcome, and for hours laughter
and conversation flowed freely. Friend
ships were formed that may last life
time and Pythianisn received an I'M
petus that will not soon lose power and
force. There was not flaw apparent
in the entire evening s exercises.
The NJ. c. Band played exquisite Sc
lections, and were compelled to respond
to repeated eRc0trS,

The visiting lodges were very we'll

selves as having been delightfully."- en-
tertained. Hagerstown brought over
81 Knights and an immense crowd of
citizens
Among those present we noticed Bro.
Adams of the Hagerstown Daily Ncaes
and Bro. Kelley, of the Winchester
Times, both jolly, good fellows.
THE BANQUET as a whole it
was an event of which Washington
Lodge and the people of Martinsburg
may well feel proud. It exceeded in
the line of a public reception and ban
quet anything we ever attended. The
music was one of the most delightful
features, and we say without fear of
contradiction that the City Band OF
Martinsburg has no equal outside of
the metropolitan cities, and but few
there.
The c. v Railroad Company did a
nice thing by several members of the
order who were left behind owing to
the change of the schedule on the day
Of the excursion. The members afore-
said offered to pay SIS to go over OH an
engine, but the company sent train
and crew through from Hagerstown
carrying them over for the regular fare,
90 cents. Capt Ed. Burns had charge
of the train and Hugh Malone was one
of the extra men. That train brought
the whole party home at II o'clock
