however, Griscom concluded the fast

llgous services arc held regularly under the aus
pces of the Young Mems Christian Associations
white and colored, and moral instruction has been
impaired by evangeliss and other visitors. AT.
tention Is called to tho necessity of an enclosing

MASONIC RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting Last NIEht-Election OF
Directors.

There was meeting of the members of
the Masonic Relief Association ut Tallmadge Hall
last evening, for the purpose Of electing seven
members Of the board Of directors, to serve for
three years Special interest was taken In the
election, from the fact that there was movement
on foot to elect new men in place of those mem.
bers who were also connected with the manage
mcnt Of the Washington Endowment Association.
There was feeling that the two associations were
too closely connected and that in consequence OF
the personnel of the management being 60 near
Identical the Relief Association was being injured
AT any rate, 1t was thought best
TO HAVE THE MANAGEMENT MORE DISTINCT,
as the ASSOCIATE ons were entirely so. Mr.. Alcxan-
der Gardner has been acting rs the secretary OF
both associations, but in his annual report as
secretary Of tho Relief Association he announced
that he would I again be candidate for the
office. The meeting last evening was largely at
tended, and was cal ed to order by tho president,
Mr. John T.. Herrell. resolution was offered by
General Browne, providing that no one should
serve as as director Of this association who was
director in similar organization. This reso-
luton gave rise to considerable discussion dur
ing which the merits Of the question were pretty
freely discussed, pro and con. The resolution
was finally laid on the table, and the election by
ballot was begun.
THERE WERE TWO TICKETS.
One contained the names Of the old directors as
followsi John Foos, Naval, No. ii Thomas Dow.
ling, Potomac, No. 8; Alexander Gardner Leb-
anon, No. I; Martin II. Thorn, Hiram, No. 10;
Robert Ball, Dawson, No. 16; John Gibson, Acacia,
No, IS; Henry Comrades Stansbury, No. 81; j. g.
Hesse Aminius, No. %. There were three of the
above.named who are also directors in the Wash
ington Endowment Tho second ticket was the
same the first with the exception Of these three
names. Charles shelsc was nominated In the
place of John Foos Dorsey Clagctt in the place of
Alexander Gardner, and c. 7. Thompson in place
Of Robert Ball. The result of the ballotingshQwed
the election of the new ticket with the exception
| of Dorsey Clagett. The new directors are as fol-
lows, with the number of votes each received :
The number Of votes cast was 255. Bowling, 2j5 ;
Hesse, 1885, Conrads, 252; Thorp, 2i5i Gibson, 229
Thompson, 1876; shelse, 1l6; Gardner, 1876. There

The Naval Advisory Hoard.

The Naval Advisory Board which re-
convened Monday to consider upon the report pre-
pared by Lieutenant Edward W. Very, U. s. N,
The secretary Of the Board, under direction Of
Rear Admiral John Rogers, the president Of the
Board adjourned finally yesterday morning after
having failed to agree upon unanimous report.
The report prepared by Lieutenant Very, as above
mentioned, was voted for by the majority, but the
minority Is so strong that the report which the
minority members will prepare will be submitted
also to the Secretary of the Navy. Officers Of the
navy in general lament the fact that q unanimous
report was not agreed upon, because the effect
will be to quash all hopes OF appropriations for
the rebuilding of the navy. The majority report
will be presented to Secretary Hunt.
