per schedule, making the run Ia one
hour and twenty-three minutes in
Herschel Taylor's bus. The visit to
Mays Landing was for the purpose OF
seeing the degree work put on by that
lodge for the benefit Of several candi-
dates from Tuckahoe. An epidemic OF
smallpox was said to be prevailing in
that town at the time and some of the
members of the degree team were alb
sent on account of sickness. Arthur
M. Ely, therefore, acted as conductor
in his usual efficient way. The degree
team of Mays Landing lodge did the
work excellently. Another visitor was
Past State Grand William T. Robbins,
of Hamilton Square, Mercer county, at
present one of the state representatives
to the Sovereign Grand Lodge. He is
an accomplished speaker and gave a
splendid address. Mr.. Robbins is now
an elderly man and ten years ago the
25th day of last March, as u of the
grand officers, he helped to institute
the Holly Beach lodge of Odd Fellows.
At that time he was grand warden.
Senator Bright and Ed ward Fox then
took the floor, and with the assistance
of their Wildwood animals, gave a per-
Torrance, which lasted aoout an hour.
A little after midnight it was a salts
fled bunch that took seats in the bus
for the return trip, little thinking what
wac in store for them. A few miles
nj of Mays Landing a busted tire
stopped the rapid progress of the bus,
one Of the rims of which lies yet in the
adjoining swamp. An hours hunt
in a drizzling rain failed to reveal the
missing rim. So word was sent TO
Holly Beach and Warren Mount was
routed out of bed and went to the rescue
of the stranded Odd Fellows, reaching
the scene about four o'clock in the
morning. The wheel was soon repair
ed and the journey resumed, but at
daylight when rounding the turn at
the Woodbine railroad station, the
same tire broke again. Good Samari-
tan Mount, who was following the big
bus, was dispatched to Wildwood for a
new tire, taking with him a number OF
the Odd Fellows. Eight others took
refuge from the rain in q Woodbine
woodshed and reached Wild wood on
the nine o'clock train Saturday morn
