were aware OF the Iateness of the hour
when the exhibition closed In q most
laughable burlesgue. Il seems that
Brother Knight David B. Davis had ad-
miited Mrs. Davis to the mysteries Of the
Royal Bumper Degree" and that she
had clothed the goat" and tried TO tame
and civilize him. that he might not dis
grace the order TO which her husband be-
ionged. but his goatship's wrath toward
the uninitiated vas not TO be appeased.

ram fell In pieces before the onsefs. The
"kebeccas" looked In terror. and they say
that the men may keep the goat if they
wish. but n for them they will hereafter
use q sheep at the.r installations. The
Knights vow vengeance to Brothers
Spaight and Boxiil and other ingenious
inventors Of the paraphernaiia and per-
petrators of the outrages OF this undigni-
fed exposure of the mystic rites of knight
errantry. but the public is still betting on
the goat and his taiioress. and the face
tious knights are still ~ large. The en-
tertainment ended with o dance and q
upper.
