The address of John H. Holiday, on Wednes-
DAY afternoon, was one of the most credltable
pieces OF work in the 50.
1t would be hard to find fner-looRinC body
of men anywhere than the class of 1883,
Yesterday, E T. Carson, $50, of the Ohio Con-
sistOry sent message of congratuaIiOn on
the success of the convoeation to Colonel
RucRle.
AT the opening of the work last evening q
handsome testimonial, costing 500 or more was
presented to Jacob W. Smith, $50, one of the
best workers in Masonry i'll Indiana. Mr. Smith
leaves for Chicago, Saturday evening, to take a
place in the auditors department of the Chi
cage IL Atlantic railroad, and his friends adopted
this method of showing their regret at his eaV-
Ing Indianapolis.
The largest number OF candidates from any
one place was from Richmond, which now has
the largest representation in the Rite outside of
Indianapolis. w. ]. Robbie is the man to whom
the Rite il indebted for this state OF things and
he will probably receive the honor of an election
to the 800 before he is many years older. Such
men rarely go unrewarded.
The reception committee, under charge of G,
W. Davis, W. j. Robbie and c. B. Harris, well sus-
tanned the reputation of the Indiana bodies for
sociability. They allowed no stranger to get
away without becoming very much acquainted.
The class of 1882 presented Messrs. Rucke
Brush, Joseph W. Smith, Jacob W. Smith, c. +.
Holiday and Bruce Carr each with an elegant
album containing the photographs of the mem
bers of the class.
