the evenings entertainment with
several we'll rendered selections,
after which the auctioning of the
baskets commenced Mr. Shields
was chosen as auctioneer, and was
truly number one man at that
business. A great deal of fun was
created by the gentlemen trying to
get the prettiest basket with the
best supper, which could not be done
as all the baskets were exceedingly
pretty and contained elaborate
lunches. Each gentleman found the
fair lady who had prepared the
lunch in the basket he had bought
and hieing themselves to some quiet
corner or table, awaited the next on
the program, which can easily be
guessed-the opening of the baskets.
After supper games were played and
social time in general was had
until a reasonable hour when the
crowd dispersed. Before leaving
the band played several more selec-
tons, and everyone in attendance
went home satisfied with the eve
ning's entertainment and wishing
the lodge a prosperous year. The
proceeds were 5000 which will be
used towards fitting up a lodge Ii
