WATEvILLE, January 11.-For years
the Masonic fraternity of Waterville have
been unable to show that spirit of hospi-
tality for which the order is so justly
famous, owing to the fact that large
bodies can find but small pleasure in
cramped quarters.
But the erection of the beautiful Ma
sonic temple on Common street, with it's
spacious halls, has now put them upon a
footing of equality with their more lucky
brothers, and this evening the doors were
thrown open to those fortunate in bear
ing the emblem of the brotherhood, "the
square and compass" together with the
flower of their families. Augusta, Vas
salboro, Oakland, China, Fairfield and
Waterville, met in the sanctum sanctorum
and gave the brotherly grip"
hand upon this occasion of the installa-
ton of the officers of Waterville Lodge,
No. 33, T. and A. M. Most Worshipful

shal and presented the following elect:

remarks appropriate to the occasion were
made by the master, Most Worshipful
Josiah H. Drummond, Rev. Brother D..
L. Seward and others. The lodge was
then informally closed.
Following these impressive ceremonies
the young wended their way to the
dance hall, while the more sedale wan
dered to the armory and engaged in the
mysteries of whist. Caterer Stewart
stood ready to appease the appetites
sharpened by victory OF defeat at the
whist table, or by fatigue of the dance,
until the wee small hours of the morning
brought all to realizing sense that all
good things must have an ending. Am
