day and Saturday, and emerged with
the satisfaction of having put it over
successfully, to the pleasure of the sevy-
eral hundred of persons who attended
and to the financial profit of the lodge.

an aggregation of old-boys provided
the meat of the first day's program,
with the side-show attractions of housie
