IN CENTRAL FALLS.
Red Letter Night For Bal
lou Post.
VOL LUNTEERS' SAD RETURN.
Tramps Making Trouble at the Resi-
dences of the Messrs. Fales-Notes.

1t was a gala night In the history of
Bailou Post, No. 3, u. A. r., last evening
and which was most enjoyable one, not
alone to the members of the Post, but to
the guests, and special visitors, who were
the Central Falls Temperance Cadets, ably
aided the old "vets," In their line of
pleasure.
The evening was designated as "Grand
Rounds" and 1t was a most successful
visitation. Department Commander
Cranston and staff were present. The
visitors were met upon the arrival Of the
$40 train, and the guests, escorted by
detail made a most favorable impression.
Upon their entering the hall the usual
formal exercises were conducted, and at
the close Of the regular routine business
complimentary remarks were made to
Post Commander p. F. Sullivan and the
members by Department Commander
Cranston, which enaed the regular
session.
Within a short time the Central Falls
Cadets, numbering 80 muskets and three
officers, under command OF Capt. Phillips,
marched into the hall, and I'm company
front were drawn up I'm line before the de-
partment and post commanders. In a
brief speech Past Post Commander Clark
son introduced the command as the cham.
pions, to which Capt. Phillips responded
with the present and true military salute.
The company then gave an exhibition
drill, which includes marching move
ments, the manual with and without num-
bers, also the latest bayonet exercise.
Every movement was finely executed and
was watched closely by the visitors, who
were much surprised at the efficiency and
accuracy of every movement. The boys
were well placed and their distances In
marching was a great feature. They left
the hall amid storm OF applause, when
equipments were laid aside.
The members had the tables prepared In
short order, and Commander Sullivan
asked all to partake of a smoking hot
chowder, prepared by Welch Bros, cater
ers. All responded and at the close OF the
feast, came speech making, which lasted
until a late hour.
Tho new ball OF the Ballou Post Is pro-
nounced by the officers to be the best In
this department. When the last good
night was said the Ballou Post comrades
were well pleased and well may they feel
proud of the manner I'm which they en-
tentain their guests.
The Volunteers Return.
The Veteran Firemen's Association re-
turned from Attleboro at a seasonable
hour last evening and paraded direct to
their headquarters. The men were not In
very high spirits. The drums did not have
that snap they would have been tuned
up to, providing inches more had been
pushed, but they played for third dince'
and everything went. The nine inches
was corker, and whether the pressure
OF Attleboro water went down that
amount, or the wind lowered, will prob
ably never be known. They were dis
heartened, but not discouraged, and will
be at the race again in due season. But
the Hay Cart beat them so small distance
that 1t is not dgestible. They do not
like the idea OF so small a showing away
from home, when 1t does so much farther
| playing here. IL was hard luck. The
men did well, but the Red Jackets sur
prised them, and together with the short
lap to the Hay Carts record, 1t was
double header. They captured third
money.
Tramps Beware.
For some time the occupants Of the resi-
dences of Warran X. and Leroy Fales on
| Ashley street have been more or less
bothered by members of the tramp order
who frequently found shelter for the
night and committed nuisances. Not
only. that, but they attempted to enter the
valuable grapery, which Is stocked with
many thousands of dollars worth OF grapes
which brings vast amount Of revenue In
the dearest season. The police have
watched the premisis as best possible;
and now the veteran gardner wears
policeman's badge and tramps should be-
ware.
Members Ioitiated.
Several new members were elected into
the recently organized Queen Esther
Chapter at their regular meeting In the
Masonic lodge room last evening.
