PRESENTATION,

order Sunday, April 19, at 1:30 o'clock p. n.,
Brother James Flood, C. E., presiding. After
the usual routine of business had been gone
through with, and the Division was about to
close, there was an alarm at the outer door and
a call for Brother Rustay, F. A. E., in the ante-
room. Brother Rustay complied with the re-
quest, but soon returned with a frightened look
on his countenance, saying, "Boys, you will
have to vacate your seats, for there are ladies
enough out there to fill them all." And before
the members could recover from their great
surprise, the door was thrown open and a large
delegation of ladies, headed by Mrs. Rustay
and Mrs. Dodd, came filing into the room, ac-
companied by Mr. T. D. Tanner, reporter for
the Easton Free Press, who, in a neat and ap-
propriate speech, in behalf of the ladies pre-
sented the Division with a beautiful and costly
set of regalia, consisting of eight pieces.

Brothers Shedd and Laur responded, and in a
few appropriate remarks accepted the beauti-
ful gift of the ladies for the Division. The
members of the Division and their visiting
