ing report Of the proceedings
The reports of the Grand President and
other Grand officers were presented. an ex-
animation of which shows the Order to be
in good hands, well managed, and in a
prosperous condition. On the condition OF
the Order the Grand President saws
While the past year has not been so pro-
life in the establishment of Parlors as
your Grand President desired and expected
yet, considering the fact that the year has
been one OF hard times" and that the
section from which we expected the largest
increase has, through stress of unfortunate
circumstances, least augmented our Par
lors and membership, we may vet congrat-
ulate ourselves upon our steady progress
the harmony and peace that has prevailed
and the bright prospect that lies spread be.
fore u.s.
There have been added % new Parlors
and from $500 our membership has swelled
to 1890. This IS certainly a fatterine
showing for our young fraternity. A ma
iority of the old Parlors have shown a
steady growth, and the new Parlors have
added largely to their original charter
lists.
The growth of the Order during the past
year has been steady and healthy, there
lished, and the enthusiasm, zeal and energy
displayed by the new Parlors is of a char
acter to add greatly to the fame and honor
OF the Native Sons. The balance in the
Grand Treasury has increased from 50. 500
to 81 400
Concerning the work of his office. the
rand President further says During the
year | have visited, either at a regular
meeting or on some festal occasion, the
following Parlors Hydraulic and Quartz.
Auburn, Lincoln, Wheatland, the Parlors
OF San Francisco convened with Pacific.
Rlncon, San Jose, Sacramento, Sunset,
Mount Lassen, Gridley, Colusa, Vallejo
and Suffer. At the beginning of my term
| had hoped and expected to visit most of
the Parlors of the State, but shortly after
the close of the Grand Parlor new and
pressing business relations came upon me.
and most of the visits contemplated | was
forced to forego. l certainly owe an apol-
ogv to the Parlors in this respect, but it
was from no lack of desire or interest in
the Parlors that did not visit them. but
simply because oftentimes after had made
arrangements and fully expected to visit a
Parlor, matters of a nature that could not
be put off would intervene

bers were paid sick benefits which in t! e
aggregate amounted to 81 254 81.
This is some of the substantial benefit of
the Order. 1t is gratifying to know that
our relief is given with the hand of the
" cheerful giver." No member claiming
benefits has found it necessary to invoke
the power of the Grand Parlor to obtain
justice.
The financial transactions of the Parlors
exhibit the general interest of the mem
bers, the receipts aggregating lS47,176 81,
and the disbursements for benefits and cur
rent expenses $33,513 81. Total cash as

The subject which will claim great deal
of the attention of the Grand Parlor will be
the revision of the ritual Some differ
ences of opinion exist on the subject. as
might be expected; some delegates favor a
simple business ritual, while others are
enthusiastic for an amplified form The
Grand President suggests, that, for the good
of tn order. the subject of revising the
ritual should be disposed of permanently
at this session of the Grand Parlor.
This afternoon the Grand Parlor decided
to hold the next session at Nevada City,
and the next Admission Day celebration in
the city of San Jose on September 9, 1886.
