Back Frcm Shriners Meet.
Mr. W. T. Robinson get in late
Monday night after a ten days’ stay
in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Baltimore,
and Washington. He reports very
stirring times among the Shriners in
Buffalo. Said the Shriners’ parade
was the longest ever, having a hun
dred and four bands and more than
a hundred thousand Shriners in line,
with more than fifty thousand who
did not take part in the parade at
all. There were approximately three
hundred and seventy-five thousand
visitors in Buffalo not including the
Shriners. A feature of his trip which
seemed to impress him strongly was
the eleven o’clock religious srevice
held on the train each Sunday, both
going and coming.
Said he searched every news stand
in Buffalo for a Winder News but
couldn't find one anywhere. That
was quite a puzzling statement, but
the.solution.is.very simple—the news
stands had just sold out and could
not get any more.
