lumber, stretching miles upon miles; the
immense docks heaped with stone; the
vast extent of the docks; the gigantic
elevators, with their aggregate capacity of
scores Of millions Of bushels; the pork
packing establishments; the shipping,
planning mills and other exhibitions of the
remarkable resources of Chicago. Each
in turn attracted attention and elected
ordinations of establishment. We must
confess ourselves little incredulous at
some of the information communicated as
to the vast amount of lumber, grain, and
pork, handled in Chicago. It seems al
most romance, hut the Chicagoians usu-
ally back their statement with statistics,
and take captive him who is disposed to
doubt their stories.
The session of the Grand Lodge finally
closed at II o'clock on Saturday night.
1t has been an earnest working body.
It's business, and the civilities ten
dered by the people of Chicago has
kept each individual busy every hour,
hardly giving time for sleep or meals.
The entertainments closed on Friday
evening with brilliant reception, at the
residence of the Past Grand Master, Hon.
John G. Rodgers, on West Monroe street,
which was brilliant and sumptous enter
tainment, giving evidence of Chicago hos
pitality.
The representation in this legislative
body of the Order coming from all sec
tions of the country was of great ability
and high standing. Some of the speeches
made upon questions under consideration
were of remarkable power. The two
most extended evinced great ability and
eloquence, one by Hon. David Porter OF
California, on the "Germanic Mission"
and the other by Hon. R. A. Lamberton
of Philadelphia, on the so-called SUNDAY
Law" The members CT the California
delegation were, in many respects, per
haps, the ablest, and that of Pennsylvania
next. The more prominent members
were Hon. John A. Kennedy of New
York; Hon. John w. Stokes, Hon. r. A.
Lamberton, Hon. Joseph B. Nicholson, of
Pennsylvania Hon. e. II. Fitzhurgh and
Hon. Hugh Latham, of Virginia; G. A.
Logan of Kansas A. J. Glenn of Georgia :;
Hon. VIM. G. Earle of Ohio, and J. W.
Ellis of Illinois.
The fraternity are under great obliQa-
tions to J. Ward Ellis, chairman, and E.
B. Sherman, formerly of Brandon,) score
tary of the reception committee, for their
asaiduous and unwearied attention to the
members of the convention.
The entire membership of Chicago, and,
in fact, of the whole Northwest, have ex-
erted themselves to make this session of
the Grand Lodge of the United States at
Chicago a pleasant, agreeable and sue
cessful gathering, and succesa crowned
their efforts in every particular. II. C.
