If { remember right there was some irreg-

were irresistible and she was permitted to

yourselves up entirely to the pleasures of the
hour, and l shsli detsin you but short time
with my remarks. It may not be amiss st
this time to refer briefly to the objects, pur-

to incul cate in the members of cur Order the
principles of honesty, sobriety, industry and

year next preceding the meeting of our last
Grand Parlor. our Order more thsn doubled

more promising body of young men never
assembled Ia this or any other State. Pros

of our friends to make US more so, by advis-

to icin and become one of us.
To cay that we love our Order wculd feebly
express the feelings Te bear towards it. We
cherish it in our heart of hearts we rejoice
IN its prosperity, and hope and pray that we
may never have cause to grieve at its decay.
What shall we say of our affection for
California the land where our mothers
rocked our cradles the land where our
fathers endured priyations, and encountered
dangers, in order that American civilization
might assert its beneicent sway.
We will say that we, the native sons, take
this occasion TO pledge to you, our fathers,
that we will ever prove loyal to the best in

you laid broad and deep 80 many years ago.

common wealth. She stands to-day among

glittering throng.
Three cheers were given by the Pioneers
for the Native Sons. The band played Go

one, and not an uutoward il cident to mar the
pleasures Of the day.
