Meade Lodge No. s23 /. o. o. F..
Had the weather been ordered
it could not have been more per-
feet, andwith the eibusiness houses
appropriately decorated, every-
thing was in waiting for the yisi-
tors.
Special trains brought the
guests to our city in almost
countless numbers and they
were met at the depot by the
lodge reception committee and
the Meade band. Headed by
the Haviland band the entire deli
e cation went to the l. o. o. F.
hall where business session
was held at 11:OO o'clock.
AT 1870 the visiting band gave
a concert and at 2 O'Clock an ex-
cellent program was rendered
at Phelps theatre.
At6:30 p. m. the Meade High
School Band gave a concert on
the street, following which was
a street drill by Fowler Lodge.
This team is considered the best
west OF Hutchinson, and they
certainly won some additional
laurels by the able manner in
which they put on this drill.
At 1880 the comforting of the
Rebekah Degree by Meade lodge
took place at their hall.
At the same hour work of con
ferring the I. o. o. F. degrees
was in progress, at the school
auditorium. The lodges taking

believe we are safe in saying that
Meade earned medal on their
entertaining ability.
