Confirmation was held at Fremont Centre and Volo Catholic churches on Wednesday, where Bishop Muldoon confirmed a class of 78 at the foreigner and 60 at the latter place. The bishop arrived at Grayslake at St. Paul depot at 8:45, where he was met and conveyed by carriage to St. Mary’s church at Fremont Centre. The day was stormy and very disagreeable and the roads muddy, but, despite all, the church was well filled when mass began at 10:30. Father Uraschech of Chesterton, Ind., sang the mass and Father Louis Meech of Valparaiso, Ind., acted as deacon, while Father Thiele of Whiting, Ind., brother of Father Thiele, the resident pastor, acted as sub-deacon. The ceremony was very impressive and the bishop delivered an address both before and after the confirmation, instructing the class in their duties as Catholics and imploring them to follow the right path. Confirmation at Volo was held at 3 o’clock p.m. This is the first confirmation at these parishes since 1895.

Messrs. John Golding, L.C. Price, Arthur Cooke and H.E. Maiman attended a game dinner at Muerckes Bros. hotel at Fox Lake Tuesday, in response to an invitation extended to the county officers and friends. About 75 guests were present. Dinner was served at 12:30 and the following was the menu: Shell clams, soup, Fish, Game, Potatoes, Bread, Butter, Wine, Coffee, Milk, Sugar, Cigars, Fruit. After dinner several toasts were proposed and drank, concluding with the election of referee and time-keeper for the badger fight. At 2 p.m. the badger fight was pulled off and L.C.
