pairing TO Attend.


pairing TO Attend.
Two years ago the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows met in Minneapolis
and were royalty entertained. This year
they meet at Boston, Mass. Ed A. Stevens,
Josiah Marvin, Henry j. Strouse and Cyrus
c. Hurd being the grand representatives
from Minnesota. The Massachusetts, breth-
ren have made arrangements to entertain
the ''SovereignS" and all visiting Odd Fell
lows Oh a scale never before attempted,
over 500, 900 being subscribed for that pur-
pose, and in kindly recognition of their
efforts the Odd Fellows of the Northwest
propose TO attend in large numbers. The
grand master of Minnesota has appointed
a committee to make such arrangements
as will enable all Odd Fellows, as well as
members of their families and
friends, to share in the festivities
at as small an individual outlay as possible
The committee has devoted much time
to the work and now makes preliminary
announcement to the effect that while the
route is not in all respects fully determined
npon, they will arrange to join the special
train leaving Chicago on Saturday morning,
Sept. Is, reaching Boston, via Niagara
falls (where breakfast will be Served) and
the Hoosac tunnel, on Sunday evening. A
special train will probably run from here
to Chicago. Tickets from Minneapolis
will be about $40 for the round trip, to
take advantage of which the special certifi-
cate of the committee must be used: Tick
cts will be good only for one continuous
trip, the necessary extra time being allowed
to reach Chicago in time for the special
train leaving there. But in event of any
delay. or when more desirable to holder,
tickets for the next succeeding train will
be issued. SO that holder may leave Chi
cago on the regular train on Saturday even
ing, Sept. IS. The return trip may be
made at any time, at pleasure of individ-
uals, leaving Boston not later than Oct. 2.
thus allowing one entire week for visiting,
after the adjournment of the Sovereign
Grand lodge, if any are so disposed. In
other words, Independent of time occupied
in travelling, fourteen days time will be al
lowed.
Arrangements will be made for through
sleepers from Minneapolis and st. Paul to
Boston without change if sufficient num-
bers are secured. A few from each lodge
or neighbcrhood will make money in the
aggregate and to be sure of seepers, all
who design going should notify w. c.

NicOllet avenue. Those who do not care to
take this trouble must not complain if they
fail to secure berthS. The circular con-
cludes as follows: ut will readily be seen
that the sooner we can know approx
mately how many will accompany us, the
better can we arrange for their comfort
Bear in mind that we are catering only to
members of the order and friends accompa-
nying them. AS soon as possible a supple
mental circular will be issued. giving exact
fares for the round trip. particulars as to
the route, etc. Rest assured that we are
doing all that can be done; that to avail
yourselves of the low rate it will be neces-
sary to join our party and make arrange
ments to go with us. Do not fail to at
once let us know how many will probably
go from your neighborhood." Walter G.
