The chief rangers and other officers of all the other courts in the city lent their presence to the occasion. The whole ceremony of institution was under the auspices of Court Guiding Star. The new court begins it's career under the most hattering auspices and from present indica- tions it will quickly take rank, not alone in numbers, but in influence and general pros- perity, with it's sister courts in the city.
 Chief Ranger Keefe and the district officers intend at an early date to institute new courts in Hartford and Bridgeport, and it is likely that through their efforts the Order will be extended to these and other parts of the State where at present it has no foothold.
