Eclipsed.
On last Monday evening, as announced,
the A. o. l.. w. lodge installed their Of
ficers giving in connection the grandest
entertainment, banquet and ball ever
known in the history of Neihart. The
evening was begun by a brief closed ses-
sion, which opened at : p. m., where
necessary business was transacted.
Shortly after s o'clock the company be-
gan to gather, and at Q o'clock the hall
was comfortably filled with the attend
ing brothers and their guests. NJ. W.,
Jno. A. Fisher, presided. Prof. fuckers
orchestra gave a very beautiful and APP
propriate rendition, after which the
speaker of the evening was announced,
Bro. G. J. Ringwald. He spoke at some
length on the benefits and claims of the
order urging the importance of every
able bodied and worthy citizen becom-
ing a member. His speech contained
statistics and facts which prove the value
of the order to its members. He spoke
briefly on the Degree of Honor and its
growth in Montana.
Bro. E. X. Abbott was next introduced.
His speech consisted mainly of the exhib.
ition with brief explanations Of a magni-
ficent art gallery or collection of port
rats of leading members in different
attitudes, the handiwork of a prominent
brother, descendent of the celebrated
Benjamin West. This art gallery was
never before unrolled in the presence
and consequently was found extremely
interesting. 1t has been preserved with
the other valuable relics of the order,
and will, with additions to follow be-
come an object of historic value.
This closed the literary program and
an officer, appointed by the grand lodge,
entered to that the representa-
tive of the Grand Master Workman and
his staff were without and ready to in
stall the newly elected officers. The
Master Workman. with dignity ordered
the Waterman to admit them. While
the audience stood the door was opened
and there entered legates of the Grand
Lodge as follows: G. p. M. w, G. j.
Ringwald; G. M. W., William Harrison;
G.. F., Daniel Lenny; G. o., E. A. Shaw;
G. G. Steve Pierse.
These took possession of the chairs
and the installation of the newly elected
officers was finished with great dignity
and grace. VIM. Harrison as a Grand
Master Workman adds much solemnity
to the service. after the ceremonies
were over the company adjourned to
the supper hall where was a most sump-
Gus spread in readin ess for them. The
supper was a credit to any hotel in my
city in the United States, and was served
so orderly and promptly as to call forth
much praise from the participants. Bro.
AL. Pierse, whom nobody can shut off
when he gets started, called for toasts
and numerous brothers responded in
pretty words to the calling of their
names. After supper those St inclined
returned to the hall where rich music
filled the air to the tune of which merry
dancers whirled till a late hour. The
event was a grand social success.
