Tue dining room was gorgeously festooned aod dec orated for the occasion in purple nd white crepe tissue, over to the table and the walls, and the hands of the massive clock in the dining room pointed to the hour of "tl," the emblematic hour of the order, when a toast was drank toall absent members. A great suprise was in store for the visitors, when all had been Beated, Superintendent V. W. Patter announced that there was one prominent Elk who had uot airived yet, and at that moment the double door swung open and a teal live Elk stalked in bedecked wlib the colors of the lodge, and a tremendous cheer aroe. An elaborate bill of fare had been pre pared and printed in an appropriate dsign by the force of printers at the school. . The dt-cortuiou were all very tastefully arranged under the supervision ofbuperiu tendeot Potter and Mr.-Calla .Westfall, the widow of an Elk, Assistant Sup rinten-. dent Campbell and Dr. Clark. The per formance, which was witnessed by over . 600 pMiplf, was a pronounced success far superior to anything of its class ever p-i-duced by a local cat or amateur troupe, and quite equal to the majority of the profes. sional troupes, and the boys ai every turn were giveu a tremendous ovation signiri cnt of the appreciation of their auditors.
