Haydn and His "creation."

In 1903 grand performance of the
Creation" took place in Vienna.
Haydn was present, but was SO old that
he had to be wheeled in a chair to the
theater. This was the last time he ever
appeared in public, and most impress
i've sight it was to see the great mas
ter listen TO the "Creation" of his
younger days, but too old to take any
part in the performance. His presence
aroused intense enthusiasm in the audi
ence, which could no longer be sup
pressed, as the orchestra burst into full
power in the superb passage, "And
there was light"
Amid the tumult of the excited audi
ence the old composer was seen striving
to raise himself. Once upon his feet he
mustered all his strength, and in reply
to the thunderous applause cried as
loud as he was able:
"No, mol Not for me, but" pointing
to heaven, "from there-from heaven
comes ALL" saying which he fell back,
faint and exhausted, and had to be car
ried from the room.

JOLLY GOOD FELLOW
Big Masonic "Send-0f' Given to
Il. L. Perry Last Week.


One of those events which help to
make life pleasant occurred in the Ma
sonic Hall in this city last Friday evening
when the brethren met in social session
to do honor to Mr.. A. L. Perry, before
his departure to Mimic. The supper was
served by W. A. Ferguson of the Armory
Cafe, and in every way credit to the
caterer Tables were set in the main
body of the lodge room, forming three
sides of rectangle, and were beautiful
ly adorned and tastetully furnished with
all the delicacies of the season. w. +.
Winter, as master Of the lodge, occupied
the head of the table, with the guest of
the evening on his right and f. ]. Hold
gins as toastmaster on his left, while the
two wardens of the lodge, j. E. Truax
and Chas. Chisholm adorned the two
ends. H. Dunford and Thos. Unyott,
the lodge stewards, waited on the table
and did their part SO we'll that their SER
vices have been secured for the dining
room of Conn's Hotel, during the fall
trade. The list of toasts followed the
supper and we're presented in their turn
by Toastmaster Hodgins F. W. Mclean
responded to the toast, "America" and
1uently touched up some of the more i'm
portant events in connection with the
history of orr country. Lebanon LODGE
brought the master, w. F. Winter, to his
feet and the progress of the lodge was
shown to be substantial and it's growth
greater during the past year than that of
any other lodge in the state. "The Craft
brought from W. A. Laidlaw an instruc-
tive review of the progress of the order
from its earliest history and was listened
to with interest by all present and en-
dorsed in an able manner by W. B. Dick
son. Next "Our Guest" was drank with
enthusiasm and followed by Giles a
jolly Good Fellow" Then O. G. Went
worth with deep emotion expressed the
regret of the members at Mr.. Perry's
departure. For himself he felt deep re-
gret because he had always known that
while Mr. Perry was in town that there
was always one man who bore worse
reputation among the producers than
die the speaker. On behalf of the lodge
he then presented MIR. Perry with beau
tiful charm bearing the Masonic emblems
Mr.. Perry replied thanking the brethren
for their splendid send-of and handsome
gift. Rev. ]. Richmond, Of Bathgate, was
present and in a few we'll chosen remarks
complimented the members on their
splendid showing and congratulated the
lodge on having SO many enthusiastic
workers. The session closed by the sing
ing of "Auld Lang Syne" in the time
! honored fashion. Xxx
