Among the membership of the several lodges there is a spirit of friendly rivalry as to which lodge will make the handsomeet display at their booths and the result is that some of the booths are of unique design—symbolical of the order or name of the lodge. ‘The hall, a one stor brick structure, has a gallery at the east end, beneath which are retiring rooms and on enter- ing the hall the myriad of flagsin festoons, &c., have a pleasing effect. ARRANGEMENT OF THE BOOTHS. In the center is the flower and lemonade stand, a handsome structure of fifteen fect in height, at which the ladies represent Calanthe Lodge No. 11.
