WATERVILLE.
Fraternal Visit
To A. 0. U. w.

| Headed by fife and drum corps
about 80 members of Crescent Lodge,
No. 3, Ancient Order of United Work
men of HalloWell, took this city by
storm last evening arriving on the
S o'clock train and paraded through
| Main street to Workmen hall, where
Watervile Lodge. No 5, had assembled
to meet them. These visitors presented
| a fine appearance as they marched two
abreast through the streets and the
music of the flies and drums, some
| thing which is very seldom heard here,
Attracted the attention of all. They
were met at the station by delegation
| rom Waterville Lodge, who escorted
| them to, the hall.
The occasion for the appearance of
the Hallowell boys was the emplifica-
ton of the Grand Oriental degree up
on three candidates for Watervile
Lodge. The Hallowell Lodge, can
boast of the best degree team in the
State. Their work last evening was
great credit to themselves and to their
lodge. The Grand Oriental is d side
issue used on gala occasions, such as
last evening and special uniforms and
equipments are used. The degree is
one of great interest to the onlookers
and certainly is to the candidates. The
fife and drum corps again comes into
prominence during the initiation.
The hall was packed to the doors
with not only local members but from
all surrounding towns. The Hallowell
boys always call out large numbers as
their reputation as eXemplifiers is OF
the best and they have been seen here
several times before. Their work on
the floor last evening when they put
the three candidates through the mys-
teries received many favorable COM
ments from all the Grand Lodge officers
present and these included. Grand
Master Woorkmen George S. Longlcy
Grand Overscer J. Fl. Mcmahon of thi
city and Grand Recorder Fred Emery
Beane of Halowel.
After the initatory work short re-
cess was granted to allow the visitors
time to change their uniforms The
lodge was again called to order and
the grand officers in turn were intro
duced by Master Workman of Water
vile Lodge, No. S. George T. Foster.
Everybody had a good word for the
visiting degree team and the officers
expounded to the members certain
facts regarding the order that had
come under their respective Offices
Impromptu speeches were made by
many others.
One of the features of the evenings
program was the fine supper served by
the members of Waterville Lodge, in
the banquet hall The supper consisted
of baked beans and cold meats with
coffee and cake. About $50 sat down
to the tables. After the supper. as the
visitors had to remain until the early
Pullman, a musical entertainment was
given by many of the most talented
musicians. The occasion was one that
will long be remembered by those who
attended. The only noticeable incident
was the absence of Uncle Dave" Lowe
of Hallowell.
