Others at Craftsbury and others en- route
The party reached there in good season
and it was not long before Newport was
full of Shriners. coming in from all direc
tions, including Concord, Littleton, N. H.
Montreal and even Oklahoma City.
The line of,parade was formed at nine
o'clock and there were 800 Mobiles in
line with dozen anxious candidates
hanging onto the rope. Theselatter were
clad in long white coats and large straw
hats and wore smiles that were ''childlihe
and bland" The procession had in addi-
tionto the above, twenty Mobiles onhorse-
back and the we'll. known camel WHICH
is known to have gone 100 days without
takinaa drink, Very CONSPICUOUS in the
parade were the forty white Umbrellas on
which was inscribed "Glad wekum, Nor
risville." These umbrellas were heartily
applauded all along the line and were
drawing card. A hundred of them could
have been sold, as there were many who
wanted to buy them for souvenirs. In the
parade they added greatly to the pictur.
esqueness of the procession,
After The parade the MOBILES embarked
On the steamer, Lady of the Lake, for a
short sail AROUND the take landing at Owls
Head mountain at twelve o'clock,
At p m. genuine Rhode Island clam
bake was given under direction of Rev. ].
H. Dixon, an expert in this line, after which
sports were INDUCED in, consisting of fat
mems race, foot races and jumping con-
tests. A base ball game, with w E. Tracy
as one OF the captains, was an interesting
feature. H. E. Shaw was one of the play
ers and batted the ball occasionally into
the lake. In the athletic sports Tracy,
Shaw and Craig Burt had part and made
good records. During the afternoon a
heavy shower came up, but the ardor of
the MOBILES was not in the least dampened.
At four o'clock the boat was again taken
and after sail of four hours Newport
was reached.
The Mobiles were given royal reception
on their return. There were rockets and
roman candles in all directions and along
the line of march the streets were illum-
mated with brilliant colored lights. On
reaching academy hall a banquet was
served, after which with cheers for New
port and all who had aided irmaking the
affair success, the party broke up. 1t
was an event long to be remembered.
NARROW ESCAPE
What might have proved a fatal or very
serious affair occur ed when the boat was
on the return trip. Sitting on the upper
deck, on the port side, viewing the scenery,
were C. B. Greene, c. L. Gates and Craig
Burt. These three had climbed over into
a life-boat and were sitting on the oars.
When near Georgeville, P @, so melody
came up behind Mr. Greene and spoke to
him. Greene turned his head slightly to
the left and just at that moment bullet
from the shore struck him. What's hit
me ?' exclaimed Greene as he put his hand
to his head and found the blood stream
ing down his face. An examination
found that he had been struck near the
right temple on the bone of the eye socket
The ball glanced off and was foundi in the
asbestos that covered the smoke stack a
few feet in the rear. Several doctors were
summoned and they dressed the wound,
finding it to be but flesh wound. The
authorities at Georgeville were notified,
but we have not heard that any arrests
have been made. Whether it was a spent
ball or shot Intentionally is not known,
but it is certain that had not Mr. Greene
turned his head at that moment he would
either have been killed or lost an eye.
Congratulations from all directions were
bestowed upon him for his narrow escape.
