MASONIC. BANQUET.
A Pleasant Occasion with Many
Visitors from
,5a.'. AbroAd. -

An event Of more than usual i:lt r.
est and enjoyment was the Masonic
lodge meeting upon Sat turday evening
and the subsequent banquet at Hotel
Buckman. The pleasure Of the Oc-
c;,sion was greatly enhanced by s,,
large number of visitors from neigh
boring towns, st. Cloud, Royalton
and Sank Rapids being largely rep
resented, the event thus devel-
oping into mo, ,e Importance perhaps
than had Leen anticipated. 1t was
I, special lodge meeting at which the
third degree OF the o"uer was con-
ferred upon DR.. Roberts. The exer-
cises at the lodge were not public,
but it is safe to assume that the
traditional goat acted in IL becoming
manner and the diciple of Esqulapius
rode him With grace and dignity.
Atsleast after the ordeal the doctor
maintained his usual serenity and
decorum in appearance, At the
lodge rooms pictures upon which
were emblems of the order were
thrown upon canvass by meals OF a
stereopticon.
After the lodge meeting the masonic
brethren and invited guests repaired
to the banquet room at Hotel Buck
man where an elegant spread
revealed all the triumphs Of the culi-
nary art. The tables We're set in the
form of cross and were quite pro-
fusely decorated with potted plants
and other floral Ornamentation.
Prayer was offered by Rev. A. A.
Joss, of the Episcopal church.
DR.. Roberts in short speech ex-
pressed his appreciation Of the order
and the pleasure and profit thus far
afforded.
j. H. Lufkin, master Of the order at
st. Cloud, in neat speech expressed
his pleasure in meeting the brethren
of Little Falls and also exhibited
some astonishment at the growth
and present size OF our city.
Hon. D. r. Calhoun, of St. Cloud,
made a somewhat humorous speech.
He thought, however, that after
dinner speeches when the digestive
organs were laboring arduously
We're an infliction and ought not to
tolerated in civilized land. They
were relic of barbarism
Dr.. Putney, of Royalton, made a
graceful speech in behalf OF the lodge
at that place.
Prof. H. J. klepper, Rev. A. c.
Joss and James Biggerstaff, OF st.
Cloud, added much to the eloquence
of the evening.
w. l.. Smith acted as master OF
ceremo onies and acquitted himself
with much ability and felicity.
