One of the largest receptlons ever given iin Ann Arbor took place at the Masonie Tempte Monday evening. There were fully 600 people present, and it was am enjoyable affair irom beginning to end, not a thing happening in any of the perfect arrangements to in the least mar the pleasure of the guests. The reception given to Rev. M. 51. Goodwin, of Ypsilanti, was complimentary to that gentleman in a remarkable degree. He stood at the head of the long lime of ladies and gentlemen who were receiving, and shook hands with one after another for over an hour. It may have been somewhat tedious, but it must have been very gratifying to receive the greetings of so many people. There were about 60 couple from Ypsilanti present, most of wnom carne up on the motor line. There were guests present also, from Milan, Manchester, Saline, Chelea and Dexter, besides a number from Detroit and other places throughout the state. The lad'ies were dressed elegantly, without exception, which with the brilliant unifon-ms of the Sir Knights and the full dress of the gentlemen guests, made a scène that delighted the eye and pleased the senses. The Chequamegon orchestra furnished the musis for the occasion, and Gapt. Thomas Taylor did the catering in a manner that was satisfactory tö tlie guests. After the reception the younger port.tom of .the guests hied them to the drill room and engaged in round dances, while the moire elderly ones, (but just as young in feelings) took part in the square dances in the lotlge room proper. The affair was the event oi the social season, so f ar, eclipsing anything that hs hereto'fore been held, and well may the SLr Knights congratúlate themselves upon its success.
