ren from abroad. The plan wa orig
inated by Orphan lodge in Portland
loroe lime ago to visit Avon lodgo in
body, but through unfavorable
weather and other unavoidable cir
cunutanoe only seven leon from that
lodge came. A few minute before 8
o'clock Inman 4 Paulaon' little
steamer Hoo, Hoo, with K. D. Inman
in charge, arrived in thi city with her
full quota of psRsetigors, who at once
made their way to the csstle hall, ar
riving there promptly at 8 o'clock,
where they were captured by the local
brethren who, in order to subdue them
a nulled almost every remsdy from the
headsman' axe to waihtub full of
ice cream. Thoio present were : Or
pheu lodge J. A. Carr, J. W. Stingle,
K, M. Murray, O. C. Train, W. C

present. At the hall the regalar order
of business wa gone through with
after which epeechmaking wa made
the ipeoial order, and a goodly num
ber of the brethren distinguished
themselves a oratora of no mean pro
portion. It must be admitted, how
ever, that Brother Stingle made the
great bit of the evening in bia review
of Pythianiim. At 10:30 refreshment
ware announced at the 8t. Heleni
hotel, where spread wa in waiting
that perhaps wa never excelled io
thi city. Hera I where one did not
need to be an orator to perform wall
hi part. Here it wa that greater
number diatinguinhed themselves than
in the line of oratory. Here it was
that priies were awarded to Brother
Stingle for being the greatest living
orator, Sink for having the greatest
capacity for ice cream and to Dr.
Thornton a the greaieit favorite with
the ladies. The contest did not be
come exoiteing until iu the second in
atanoe, where Sink won only by a
neck, with Stingle, Cliff, McPberaon
and Beegle oloie in the rear. In the
third instance Thornton distanced all
competitors, though Waldman made
ome pretention! in the start. Well,
anyway after more speechmaking and
good n attired joking it wai discovered
that the hand on the dial were near
inn the 12 mark, and the festivities
were brought to a. close i by singing in
a chorus "God be With You 'Till We
Meet Again," and in a few minute
the jolly Knights were away on their
homeward jpurney, leaving behind
those who appreciated their coming
and patiently await a repetition of the
pleasant event.
