ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION.
Proceedings of the Grand Lodge
Session in Boston.
Great Preparations for the Grand
Parade Today.

BosToN, Sept 81. The following officers
for the ensuing year were elected today by
the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows,
now in session at Odd Fellows Hall in this
city:
Grand Secretary-John Fl. White of New
York.
Deputy Grand Secretary. c. Underwood
of Kentucky.
Grand Secretary-T. A. Ross of New Jer-
sey.
Grand Treasurer-Isaac A. Shepard of
Pennsylvania
The report of the Grand Treasurer, Mr..
Isaac A. Shepard, in account with the Soy
ereign Grand Lodge shows: Balances as per
last report, $I5,672; expended, $40, ,42007 !;
cash balance, $22, ,296.46 Under the head of
available assets the report goes ON to say:
The available assets of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge are aS follows: Aug. 20, 1856
Balance in treasury, $22,296; United States
a per cent. registered bonds, par, $4,000;
United States A per cent. coupon bonds, par
$4,000; United States 4 per cent. coupon
$4,000.
To meet the demands upon the treasury 1T
became necessary to sell 5000 of United
bonds, besides the $4,000 of United States
bonds of the Ridgely Monument Fund, as
set forth in this report. 1t is evident that
the cash in the treasury will not be sufficient
to pay the expenses of the session of 1885,
and it is respectfully suggested that the
Grand Treasury be authorized to dispose of
such bonds as may be necessary to pay war
rants that may be drawn on him by the
Grand Secretary.
The Secretary's report shows that this re-
port contains an exhibit to Jan. /, 1886, from
the annual reports received by the Grand
SacrptarV The exhibit shows:
