participating In tho grand opening cotiliou
Of tho ball. Tho merry couples worshipped

about nine O'Clock, when the asssmblagc
was called 10 order BY Grand Secretary P. II.
Sweet, who, on concluding his remarks, In
troduced DR.. .. 3. Turner, who addressed
himself more particularly 70 Grand Repre-.
sentative Chas. B. R. Colledge.
He remarked that a. this was his maiden
speech, any irregularity he might commit,
he hoped would be excused, but L was highly
senting Brother ColIcdgc with the beautiful
rcgalia OF @. NJ. Although Mr.. Colledgo
was perhaps the youngest Grand Master Of
the Order, his past record proved that no
man was worthier OF tho high Office than
himself. DR.. Turner then presented the
rcgalia 10 Mr.. Colledge, and after Chase's
National Band had played . popular air, Mr..
Colledge replied In an eloquent little speech,
warmly thanking Mr.. Turner and the fra.
ternity.

what he considered his duty, and as one Of
the grand representatives OF the Odd Fell
lows Of this city In the coming convention
on the golden shores Of the Pacific, he would
do all In his power 70 help 10 make Odd Eel.

good and noble would be designated.

air, at the conclusion Of which Brother An
drew ]. Donaldson addressed W. r. Mclean,
who 10 also one Of the grand representatives
OF this city, and In the name Of Columbia
Lodge No. 10, presenting him also with
beautiful rcgalla Of q Past q. NJ.
Mr.. Mclean replied In few eloquent re-
marks, saying that as bis heart had long
been given to Columbia Lodge, he could
give them tonight nothing but heartfelt
thanks and thanks again. Mr.. Mclean was
checred by his many friends present several
tlmcs before he came 10 the conclusion OF
his remarks. Amer having extended his
thanks TO the Lodge, Mr.. Mclean remarked
that he had now duty TO perform, which
was ono OF the most pleasing duties OF his
| life.
Down 10 the land where 'the wooden hams
and nutmegs originated" Brother ?. d.
Stuart, P. @. NJ, was well known and be-
loved. He had visited the little State Of
Connecticut several times since he had taken
| up his residence here, doing his best to ad =
vance the noble cause Of Odd Fellowship.
Tho brethren Of the State had long cherished
| the Idea Of presenting Brother Stuart with
some memorial Of their affection, and they
had arrived at the conclusion TO present this
silver tea-set TO Sister Stuart (here the beau
tlful present was unvciled) as lasting token
TO her who Possesses such worthy husband
and was 90 worthy Of him.
p. q. Donaldson then presented to Mrs.
Stuart tho letter Of the Connecticut brethren
and the present. Mr.. Stuart replied very
warmly to Mr.. Donaldson, saying that he
could not realize fully the great honor that
had been done 10 him by his beloved breth-
rem Of Connecticut. The young folks pres
ent, however, seemed to grow impatient now
at the speech.making, and were bound to
have dance, which being over, Mr.. Hugh
Latham, eI-mayor Of Alexandria, was called
for, and delivered an excellent Grafton.
He said that he hoped the delegates "a
California would safely return from thelr
pcrilous journey, and grace once more with
their presence the meetings OF their 70.
spcctlve lodges. He then recommended p. @
M. Mclean as an example to the newly
created o. N. Colledge, and remarked that
Mr.. Mclean was we'll known as "Star
like" workman, Laughter he having beer
connected with that paper long enough to b.
well known and universally beloved.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Latham's speech
the dancing was entered upon, and tn,
merry couples enjoyed themselves TIL lat,
hour.
The regalia intended 10 have been pro
scented 10 OR :, John Havenner, will be pre-
sentcd tonight, Mr.. II. having been pro
! vented from being present by a meeting o.
, his lodge.
