bad condition of the roads. Ihere
were so couples in the grand march

later. The music was by an i'm
provised orchestra from members OF

order, and the music was of very
high order and much enjoyed. Re-
freshments were served and very
! enjoyable evening passed.

lows had to forget for the nonce
that they were Pythians, and 1t was
really they who won the game.
There were about forty in the game,
refreshments were served and a de-
lightful evening was passed. but
there seems to be no chance Tor the
rubber.
