ODD FELLOWS.
Meeting At San francisco Of the Graud Lodse
* j. o. Of o. r. Of the United States.

i. O. of o. r.. Of the United states.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, Sept. IS, 1885.
This grand era In the history OF Odd Fellowship.
Awaiting themselves OF newly constructed rail-
way across the continent the brethren OF the far
East greet their brethren OF the far West. Nova
Scotia shakes hands with Australia, the New Do
mlnion with Texas. Florida with Oregon and all
states, Territories provinces and d0minions where
the Jurisdiction OF the Grand Lodge extends with
California. The l. o. Of o. +. Is In the ascendant
just now, and may be seen proudly floating on the
breeze from numerous nagstafs on Montgomery
street. Arriving here on Thursday, the 0ficers
and members OF the Grand Lodge have been va
rousy feted BY the fraternity OF this city. The mar
Dor and bay and all our surroundings Of interest
have been shown up to the best advantage and on
Monday the labors Of the regular annual session OF
the Grand Lodge will commence. So far as known
at present there are but few matters OF deep interest
to the Order at large to be egisated upon at this
time. These few are the abrogation OF an enact
ment by the last session relative to regalia, and the
proposed amendment changing the title Of the Grand
Lodge OF the United States to that Of 'Grard Lodge
the
Of the Order to foreign lands would seem to render
change OF this kind necessary, although It may he
attended with many thousand dollars expense.
The following Is a complete list OF the officers and
members of the Grand Lodge, but several OF them
have not arrived and probably will not be here
