The Maccabees Were Entertained

BY WOLVERINE TENT OF YPSILANTI WEDNESDAY NIGHT

The Feast Grew Out of a Friendly Contest for Securing New Members

The Knight of the Maccabees, 75 strong, went by special  car to Ypsilanti Wednesday night to enjoy spread the Wolverine Tent was to serve them, because of their losing the contest which had been carried on in securing new members. Ann Arbor, as the victors in the contest, went prepared to play havoc with the good things set before them. The early part of the evening was spent in having a good, jolly social time, and at 10 o'clock about 200 sat down to an elaborate supper which had been prepared by the ladies of the hive. Oysters in all styles were served, and in addition to this, many other delicacies.

After the supper was finished Commander Joslyn said he had been looking over the crowd and wondering how they felt on the "Expansion" question, which had been claiming the attention of the Maccabees. He thought that judging from the number who had loosened their vests during supper all of the Ann Arbor members and most of the Ypsilanti members were great "expansionists." He then called upon Frank Jones, who responded with some very witty remarks. He roasted Ypsilanti on purchasing their stone crusher, saying that they had heard that there was only four Inches of mud on top of their macadamized road while Ann Arbor with their usual way of beating out Ypsilanti could boast of a good six inches of the best kind of black mud on top of ours.

A colored trio furnished some good music during supper and sang several ragtime songs afterward and were heartily applauded by everyone.

The Ann Arbor party returned on their special car at 12:45, still firm in their convictions that Wolverine Tent are the best entertainers going.
