committees assigned to duties necessary
to insure success had their work so well
in hand that they were ready and wait
ing for the time to come.
The banqueting feature, which took
place at the Masonic Temple, was the
first of Importance. This required two
hundred and twenty-five plates, and
under the skillful catering of Mr.. ]. +.
Crum everybody was properly cared
for. Thence the happy throng gathered
at the spacious, beautifully decorated
and inviting club rooms where hearty
reception and sociality were in order.
At $50 O'Clock the program of enter
