 FEAST ID HONOR ANNIVERSARY
Clifton Aerie, 1890, Celebrate In Honor of the Sixth Anniversary of It's
 Building In Clifton.

From the crags and heights of all the wild habitat, the Eagles assem- bled at the Clifton Aerie last Satur- day night, to hold a love feast in hon. or of the building of the Aerie, six years since. The wise old father Eagles gave shrill cries of wisdom to the tender f1edglings of the Aerie, and the proud denizens of the mountain peaks circled the fens in sweeps of victory
 Happy was this gathering, the occa- sion of which was the progress of the lodge since it's founding six years since.
 Felicitations were the prominent expressions, and the beating of wings were the indications of approval of 1.-the steady progress of the years that are past.
 Chief among the notes of the pro- gram was the splendid feast prepared under the direction of MT. Juleg, who did his finest in the arrangements. Refreshments that delighted the mem bers, both young and old, were there in abundance spread on tables that ran the length of the hall.
 After doing exact and equal justice to the tempting viands, the Aerie' s attention was drawn by splendid speeches delivered by Dr. McPheet- T.. V. ard. Dr. McPheeters spoke with op- timism of the past and future of the Clifton Aerie, expressing approval of past accomplishments, and confidence of those of the years in the future. He counselled the members to ever greater energy in the continued strength and upbuilding of the Aerie. He spoke of the great success of the Globe Aerie, where he was at one time a member, and expressed confi- dence that the Clifton Aerie would at last reach the record held by Globe. Dr. McPheeters' remarks were highly applauded.
 MT. Halter took for his theme the meaning. of the occasion, and incident ally remarked that the glories of ret rospection of the Aerie's progress would be dimmed by the achievements of the future His remarks gained the hearty approval of his hearers. 5~y Following came a splendid address by Judge Leonard, whose dwelling theme was the determined effort of the lodge, with a united membership, to constantly maintain the ideal that is characteristic of the Eagle lodge. Judge Leonard stands high in the councils of the lodge, having held the post of Worthy President, and at pres GQC QOlQlQS Cudt Ol 11C cheered the members with a mention of the financial condition of the lodge, it having a handsome surplus, in ad dition to possessing one of the finest lodge halls in the state. Judge Leon ards remarks gave to the attending Eagles a new conception of the mean | ing of their order.
 The last, and to the young Eagles the most exciting number on the pro gram was boxing bout between two mighty opponents of the game. While a three round contest, no lack of ener gy was displayed by either contestant That blood failed to illustrate was no
 because of the lack of any such inten ton on the part of either. After many determined attempts to estab testants were declared to have con summated a draw, and the bout was at an end MT. Kreuder was the referee in this instance, and was ably assisted in his decisions by the freely given advice of many interested on lockers.
 Il The festivities of the night ended il music happily rendered by MT. San Sidebotham, who, to piano accompani ments, brought forth from his melo deon airs of the North, suggestive O.
