dawned bright and fair, and members Of
the order and their friends, 10 the num-
Der of "a, claimed the hospitality Of Mr..

McPhee's aUnele Toms Cabin" com
pany had its cars sidetracked here sun
day, and as large a congregation as could
be found in any Of the churches hung
around them the greater part OF the day.
The big tent was pitched on Weston street
and at noon Monday came a street parade
in which some local talent figured. The
colossal heads OF s'Uncle Tom and a po-
liceman with an Hibernian cast of counte-
nance rested on the shoulders OF a couple
OF boys, whose identity was no secret TO
the crowd OF youngsters who followed the
procession on ITS line Of march. Ben
ThayeT drove the ''cabinh and received an
ovation as he passed the Gay livery stable,
everyday labor, and Frank Hatch was al
so a eharioteer for the occasion. Others
assuaged their thirst for theatrical life By
holding some doubtless deceitfully placid
looking blood hounds in leash, and carry
ing the banners of the show The parade
had banda drum corps with two colored
ladies operating the snare drums,and great
many very pretty little ponies drawing
tiny chariots. In the evening the tent,
which it was claimed would hold more
than a thousand people, was filled 70

consisted of speckled trout from the
streams which the league keeps carefully
posted against the angling public. AT the
postprandial exercises A. b. Manchester
presided and under his guidance the fun

as big as the fish just devoured, were re-
lated with an righteousness that would
have put the ancient Ananias ana Sapphire
to the blush. One banquetter had caught
such beauty in a nearby stream that he
decided to keep il in a big water tub and
see II 1t had really got its growth. He
threw il in. accordingly. and laid a stone
boat over the top of the tub, but this fresh
water Leviathan sent the stoneboat flying
in its mighty leap and almost escaped

a calf, and some days after j. +. Bacon,
fishing in that vicinity, caught a mon
strous trout, and dressing his fish found
that Jonah OF a calf which be was able to
return to its owner. Among The speakers
