After the work of installation, a
bountiful lunch consisting of coffee,
tea, sandwiches, cakes, ETC., was
served to which all did ample justice.
The ladies who managed the lunch
were kept pretty busy in serving all.
which in itself was no easy task as
the good things disappeared with re-
markable rapidity, proving beyond all
doubt that the lunch was good. The
dishes were then removed and after
quiet had been restored programme
was given. All the various songs and
recitations were applauded and en-
cores demanded.
The first was trio by Messrs.
Cowling, Sheridan and Lawrence,
which was rapturously applauded and
to which the gentlemen responded
with a comic trio.
Rube Lawrence then rendered ''Life
on Skates" and scored hit by dedi-
eating verse to Judge w. J. Cowling.
After vociferous encore he rendered
Pretty Lips" which was also encored
and later he favored the assemblage
with another solo to which he played
his own accompaniment, Mrs. P. T..
Brownell having accompanied all the
other songs and the quartette entitled
Good Night, by Messrs. Cowling
and Trip and Misses Jennie and
Matte Cowling, which followed.
Mrs. Il. e. Miller was then called
before the N. G.. and in a few well
spoken words, Geo. w. Cornell pre-
sented her with beautiful Rebecca
emblem in the shape of star sus-
pended with chains from cross bar,
all In gold, the star being deliberately
engraved with the cross bar bearing
the name mabel e. Miller" as a fit
token of her efforts in building up the
order in this city. Mrs. Miller was
taken by surprise but after getting
her breath, made short address
thanking him who had made the
presentation and also the order which
had shown the appreciation Of her
efforts in its behalf. In her remarks
she hoped the order would flourish
and keep growing In proportion to
the growth during its short organiza-
tion, which sentiments were raptur-
ously applauded by all the members Of
both lodges present.
The N. G. then announced ball at
the Turf to which all were invited
