Irvin ODD FELLOWS (Continued from First page) most of the machines owned in autos, members of the Shamokin Auto by the Club. Autos carried the Grand Lodge officers, aged and infirm Odd Fellows, and guests of honor.

The March Forming on the Avenue, the parade south on Maple to Sixth, then marched then north on Hickory to to Hickory, the Avenue, west to Oak, then to Seventh and countermarch. The parade long, and the line of march so was so that it came within 400 feet of short, forming a continuous circle. The Massed Bands The countermarch ended, the maraides, uniformed bodies and colshals, bearers assembled on the Avenue or between Oak and Hickory, while the bands assembled on the Avenue beOak and Maple, serried ranks of tween Odd Fellows--the paraders--lining Oak' on both sides to Sixth. Then came the one thing long to be remembered, the wonderful march of the mounted men, the marvelous playing of the massed bands--musicians of seventeen organizations all playing in -and the stately review of the brilliantly uniformed and superbly drilled Patriarchs Militant, flags and banners fluttering as in the olden days of chivalry. The view was exquisite, and the playing of the massed musicians was matchless.

In G. H. Smith's gail; decorated auto rode Prof. Oscar Raeder, whose baton directed the playing of Onward Christian Soldiers." The time was perfect and the volume of sound was tremendous, so that peo ple even on the outskirts of the town could hear the strains. Nothing so grand was ever before attempted by Mount Carmel or by any town in the region, and nothing ever before attempted attained as happy 8 consummation.

The Odd Fellows suc ceeded in giving the town something to remember. In this band massing something en tirely new was successfully carried out. The selection was played through out, ending when the musicians reached Sixth and Oak. Director Raeder beat time until the bands had all reached Hickory street, when the tune was again taken up and played throughout, without a break. Open Meeting Arriving at the Opera House, al: open meeting was held, presided over by F.

W. Magrady. The invocation was delivered by Rev. J. Warren Rose of Lodge 234, and a selection was rendered by the Mozart Male Chorus The oration of the day was delivered by Grand Master James S.

Montthe head of Pennsylvania Odd gomery, Fellowship, and addresses were deliv ered by General M. A. Raney of Balti more, Major General J. B. Andrew: of Altoona, and Past Grand Master Christian B.

Myers of Harrisburg. Grand Lodge Sessions At 7:00 o'clock in the evening a special Grand Lodge session was held in Washington Hall, where Past Grand and Grand Lodge degrees were confer red upon a number of men who have passed the chair. This was followed by a Lodge of Instruction for Third Degree members, the officers in charge giving a splendid rendition of the work. The Great Finale An evening of fun and excitement followed the day. The streets were simply jammed with people.

It was a tumultuous throng, but everybody was good-humored, all seeming to have a splendid time. Band concerts by some of the celebrated musical organizations entertained a couple of thousand people at Avenue and Oak. The Berwick Cornet Band, known as one of the best in Pennsylvania, gave a delightful concert, a feature being a vocal solo, "The Holy City," with band accompaniment. It is no wonder that Berwick captured next year's convention. They sent a bunch of hustlers here, and they brought with them a peach of a band.

Repasz Band of Williamsport, 35 pieces, led by Herdic Wood, rendered an exceptionally fine concert. This band, organized in 1840, seems to improve with age. The event of their concert last night was the cornet solo by Prof. John Hazle. It was a characteristic fantasie of his own composition, and its rendition showed him to be a wonderful performer.

A grand military ball in Masonic Hall, conducted by the United Spanish War Veterans, attracted a floor full of people. The moving pictures were crowded to capacity. There were many other attractions. When midnight arrived most of the visitors had departed, and the town began to resume some of its normal quiet. The Orphans The most delighted bunch of visitors yesterday came from the Odd Fellows' Orphanage near Sunbury.

It was a great holiday for them, an event that they had looked forward to with the eager expectancy of childhood for many weeks. My, how their faces glistened and their bright eyes danced as they rode along in the parade. Some of the youngsters shouted with delight, and their enthusiasm knew no bounds. They simply didn't try to restrain themselves. The Theatorium and the Majestic tendered the youngsters special performances.

This was something new to many of them. Treasurer Robert Davis and Trustee D. D. Dyke, of the Orphanage, and both members of the local committee, had them in charge, and it was a big job, but it was one that had lots of fun in it. The Orphans left town at 7:05, a tired, happy lot.

Hundreds of Odd Fellows escorted them to the Pennsylvania depot. The Rebekahs Lady Rebekahs, members of the splendid auxiliary of Odd Fellowship, came from all over the district. They established headquarters in the Masonic lodge room. The presence of the ladies constituted one of the most delightful features of the day. Photographers, Etc.

The town's picture was well taken yesterday. Scores of photographers, amateur and professional, took views by the hundred, and a collection of the many pictures taken would form quite a panorama. "Our Band" of Shamokin is entitled to special praise. Our neighboring town's splendid band is one of the best in Pennsylvania, and under Director Walter Seiler's leadership seems to get better every year. The band has many friends here, and a number from here will attend their May party at Edgewood May 6th.

Mr. Magrady Fred W. Magrady Chairman of the Executive Committee appointed by Lodges 630 and 1150, deserves unbounded praise for his great work, both as committee leader and as Chief Marshal of the parade. During the long months since the work really beMr. Magrady was always on the gan job.

He showed remarkable executive ability, and the precision with which the parade moved was only one evidence of this. Mr. Magrady declares that the success is due to the work of the men on the committee. Odd Fellows of Mount Carmel all deserve some of the praise. We are authorized, on behalf of the committee, to thank all of the people of Mount Carmel for the grand assist ance rendered in taking care of the strangers.

The town did its duty. A FEW POINTS The Hon. S. B. Boyer, Attorney at Law, of Sunbury, the oldest living Past Grand Master, was here for the celebration.

Mr. Boyer is totally blind past eighty years of age, but gets around with surprising ease. Mr. Boyer served as Grand Master in 1878. The Item extends thanks to "Our Band" of Shamokin, for the serenade tendered in the morning.

Leader Walter Seiler, with his famous "Our Band" of Shamokin, delighted a large audience on north Oak street in the morning. "The Orphans" from the Orphanage were tendered a free entertainment by the management of the Theatorium at one o'clock in the afternoon. Manager Schreck, of the Majestic Theatre, gave the Orphans a complimentary performance in the evening at six o'clock. The best of order was maintained throughout the day. Speaks well for the town.

The absence of drunkenness only proves that it is not necessary to get full to have a good time. The celebration here caused a man at Danville to tell his wife that he had business at Wilkes Barre, thinking that he would slip into Mount Carmel and see the fun. Wife decided that she would go to Mount Carmel while hubby was away, and incidentally took another fellow along. Husband was only fooling on the direction, and took the train at Danville from the wrong side at the depot, so that nobody would see him until the train was out of town. Somewhere along the line he decided to look the train load over and saw the erring couple, handed the gay fellow a good walloping, thrashed his wife, and when the conductor of the train tried to end the hostilities, he was also given a mauling.

He was not an Odd Fellow, he was a serious cuss. Ten thousand post cards were mailed from here before three o'clock in the afternoon. Business was good in all the shops and places that furnished refreshments. Some were overrushed. The moving picture houses did a big business.

The bass drummer of the Halifax Band must be a blacksmith, judging from the way he walloped the horsehide. Some class to that Berwick band. Two uniforms. You could easily tell which was "it" when they have on the parade togs. The police service and protection here yesterday was perfect.

Twelve uniformed men guarded the crowd on a foot, while two mounted men did the I difficult work of "keeping them back." Old police experts from nearby cities who were here say that they never saw so large a crowd handled with so little trouble and so little The Chief Burgess and Chief of Police know their business. Mount Carmel people knew how to behave. So did the visitors. Perfect weather. Perfect parade.

Perfect arrangements. Perfect business. Perfectly satisfied. About one day is enougn. A week must be awful.
