JOYOUS Gathering, and a Large Crowd.
A regular State of Maine sociable with
banquet added was the reception which
the people of South Portland rendered
the promoters of the Portland and Cape
Elizabeth Electric Road at Oasis Hall,
Knightville, last evening. Congratula-
tory banquets are usually gatherings Of
men, who felicitate with moresor less
cigar smoke. But at Knightyille last
evening the women and children came,
very pleasant way of showing that the
people who are most benefited by the
road are not unmindful Of their bless
ings
The company gathered in the hall early
and were seated when Messrs Krutz,
Hale, Thomas, Perry, Mcleod, McGow-
an and other guests arrived. These
were seated on the platform with &. z.
Reynolds Grimmers orchestra i'll due
time arrived and delightful music was
the order until the speaking should be-
gin.
The counter attraction at the other enc
of the hall was huge punch bowl. Those
who at first thought this was reminder
that the water fight was over, were hap
PLY disappointed when bevy Of beau
tiful young ladies began to serve from
that great bow a liquid as nearly like
nectar as can be obtained in these days
of Jove-defying trolley cars. Miss Alice
Dodge served the nectar and these young
ladies passed it around: Misses Alice
Barker, Sadie Seavey, Viola Rogers,
Nellie Smith, Ethel Littlefeld, Ethel
Lewis, May Kenney, Gertine Frank, Osie
Masters, Grace Brown, Maria Simmons.
Mrs. Ada Brown directed all.
But although the young ladies had Of
right the greater place in the eyes OF all,
the faithful though less ornamental
labors of the following committee should
not be forgotten: Bion B. Small, Edwin
E. Heckbert, Edward G. Reynolds, +. |.
Brown Fl. p c. Hersey, Willis F. Strout,
Thomas P. Haskell, Andrew j. Cash
and Geo. L. Miller.
The entertainment began by song by
Mr.. A. S. McCreadie, supervisor of the
electric road.
