rapidity. The only matter of public
Interest discussed was the next place
of meeting and upon the Invitation of
tho Union lodge it was decided to hold
the next convention in that city.
After the business meetings were
over in the afternoon, tile visitors
were given an nutomohllc ride around
the city an- this was followed by an
informal reception in tin4 lodge rooms.
Tho climax of (lie day's activities
Came in the evening at ;?:".(> o'clock,
when a sumptuous live course han
BUCt was served to the visitors and a
number of local friends of the lodge,
in his usual agreeable manner, Dr.
lt. Ii. Alken presided over the ban
quet and Introduced the several
speakers who regaled the banqueters
with spicy comments upon the sttb
jects suggested on the program. The
selection of speakers for the occasion
; roved very happy, the guests listen
ing to an unusually illuminating as
well as humorous treatment of the
subjects assigned them. Tbe follow
ing was the program of the evening:
