The Augusta cantons Looking Over the Plans
for the Trip.

The Augusta chevaliers are looking
over the itinerary for the visit of the
odd Fellows Of Maine to the Sovereign
Grand Lodge at Detroit, Mich. in Sep
TENDER. The Chevaliers Of Canton Au.
gusta will probably be well represented
as they are planning upon the trip. II
is to be so very inexpensive that it win
be well worth the price Of the trip to
see the country. The fare from Au-
gusta to Detroit and return will be only
$l5
The Maine Chevaliers will be in com
mand of Brigadier General Herbert
q. Foster Of Waterville. who will be as
sisted by his fun staff The meetings
of the Grand Lodge will be from Sen
TENDER lG to %, and the Augusta can
tons will start. Monday, Sept. is. at G. 30
in the morning. They will go to var
mouth. where they will take the Grand
Trunk Railway to Montreal. where
they will be joined by the ChevaIiers
from New Hampshire ana Vermont A
good amount of time will be given for
visiting the different places Of interest
about Montreal and n most pleasing
programme has been arranged FOR this
part of the trip. From Montreal the
party will go to Toronto ana thence to
Niagara Falls. Here sufficient stop
will be made to allow all to go to all
the points of special interest ana drives
and car trips have been arranged so
that all will have every opportunity to
see all that there is to ha seen. There
Will not be any other long stop before
Detroit is reached, but on tn return
trip the party will take The steamers ut
Kingston and 80 to Montreal by the
way of the Thoucanda Islands of the
st. Lawrence. Some time will be pass
ed at Montreal at this time and an ex-
cursion will b. given to Mount Royal,
from which magnificent view of the
city and the surrounding country can
be had The party win return to this
city by rail.
The Chevaliers believe that they have
arranged as pleasant and enjoyable
trip as could possibly be- given to those
who are going from the State of Maine
to the Sovereign Lodge at Detroit
