Almost the frat business transacted by
the body was the adoption Of resolu-
ton TO exclude reporters for the press
from the session. This resolution was
adopted by an almost unanimous vote,
and the G. L. Of the U. s., A. A. Of !. 8. d
T. W., Immediately went into secret ses.
sion.
The business before the Association
yesterday was principally OF routine
nature. PRECEDENT Bishop read his an
uual report, which was quite lengthy
document, and the reading consumed
something like two hours. The exam.
ination Of the credentials Of delegates
also took up considerable time.
Al a quarter Of six o'clock P. NJ, the
Association adjourned, to meet again at
8 o'clock this morning. 1t is probable
that the Association will not adjourn be.
fore Saturday, and the daily sessions will
be held a. follows: From ga. NJ. to 1880
P. NJ. in the morning, and from 1880 p. NJ.
to 5:45 P. NJ. in the afternoon. The ap.
pointmeut Of committees and other i'm
portant business will occupy the atten'
lion OF the Association today, and this
evening the delegates will attend liter
airy and dramatic entertainment In Wash
ington Hall, given 10 their honor by the
city lodges. Some OF the best amateur
talent 10 the city will take part in this
entertainment and 1t will undoubtedly
prove success.
