Last Sunday the second of the series
of big rabbit hunts came of!'. The
scores made were not so good as usual
with the exception ol that made by
Ray, who it seems was blessed with
his usual good luck making as large a
score as the average at the last big
hunt. Some of the boys 'hiuk that
Ray runs down somo of the rabbits as
he is on the jump all the time after
he strikes the rabbit country. No
matter how it was done he has again
carrie I off the gold medal and he now
has but, one more time to win it until
it is his individual proper)'. The

day evening by the D. ol H., and

of the most enjoyable affairs of the

and wero woll rendered, csiiecially
wns this so of the Degree. The ladies
of the Degree have a well drilled team
and under the captaincy of Brother
Draper the evolutions wcro nicely
performed. A short program was ren-
derel in connection with the installa
tion ceremonies and after the busi
ness part of the meeting was over re
freshments were served and to say
that ample justice was done them
would be putting it mildly, especially
so when it is known that the Journal
man was there and went away fully
satisfied with the spread. After re
freshments games were indulged in
until the milling' t hour. Every one
went home feeling that it was one of
the most enjoyablo evenings of their
lives.
