Silver Cross Lodge, Knights of Pythias,
will soon have home of their own in the
McClintock block, corner OF Main and High
streets. Negotiations have been in prog
ress for some time for the purchase of the
block from the estate of j. Y. McClintock,
and they we're closed last week when the
Pythian Building Association was organ
lied for the purpose of obtaining real es-
tate, and erecting, maintaining and furnish
ing buildings thereon with $4,000 capital
stock, of which $4O4O is paid in. Officers:
President, R. H. Howes of Belfast; treas
erer, James Pattee of Belfast. The articles
have been filed at the office OF the Secretary
of State and the certificate was approved
July 21st. This is fine business property,
centrally located, and should prove good
investment as we'll as furnishing perma-
nent home for Silver Cross Lodge.
EXCURSIONS. Dickey's excursion Friday
from this city, Northport and Searsport to
Bar Harbor will be the leading attraction
of the week. The steamer will leave North
port at a. IN. and Belfast at 7.30. The fare
will be but one dollar for the round trip.
The trip will be made on the steamer Cas-
tine. Mr. Dickey has been engaged by
DeMolay Commandery.K Knights of Templars
of Showhegan, to take charge OF an excur-
sion, their annual trip, and it is expected
they will visit Belfast the coming week.
The trip will be from Skowhegan to Belfast
by special train and from this city to Cres-
cent Beach via Dark Farbor, lslesboro.
After dinner at the Beach the party will
come to Rockland and visit the war ships
and then take the electric cars to Camden
where they will make short stay and then
join the Castine for the return trip to Bel
fast leaving on a special train in the even
ing. The steamer Castine made three
trips to Northport and Searsport yesterday
to accommodate those desiring to visit the
circus and the show in the evening at the
Opera House.
THE CIRCUS. With series of snorts
and puffings and shrill whistle the Frank
L. Robbins circus train arrived in town
about a. m. and from that time well into
the morning the streets were busy with the
heavy teams and performers making their
way to the grounds. The morning, which
bid fair to be dull and disagreeable day,
turned into bright and sunshiny one, and
the country people began to make their ap-
pearance early. An excursion from North
port added its quota to the sightseers, and
by the time the parade started good crowd
was present to witness it. AS usual, the
post Office was headquarters for the crowd,
which covered all the available space on
the steps. The balloon man came with the
vanguard and wendell his crimson-hued
way among the people. The parade, though
not very long one, was very good, and the
| free show after it attracted most of the
! crowd to the grounds in the wake of the
| wagons. Both afternoon and evening per-
| formances were very we'll attended.
