ments.
Monday evening last while many were
keeping the GLORIOUS Fourth" in sending
off rockets, shaking Roman candles, starting
pinwheels and burning powder generally,
the lodge room in the Odd Fellows hall in
the Palladium building was well filed with
the members of Quinnipiac lodge No. l.,
I. o. o. F.
This was one of the regular meeting nights
of the lodge and the D. D. 6. M, George
Butler, was present and installed the follow
ing officers who had been elected at the pre-
vious meeting:
N. G., Robert Fields.
Rec. Sec, Edward T. Benham
Treasurer Henry c. Goodwin.
Perm. Sec, joel L. Huugerford,
The APPOINTMENTS to the minor chairs
were then made and the necessary officers
installed At about this time it appeared to
the members that there was still chair I'M
filed. This chair was rolled from some
dark corner in the center of the room and the
chaplain of the lodge, John R. Bradley, P.
II
P. G. William II. Cox, to present the
brother for this chair, naming Robert Sizer,
P. G. In well chosen words full of meaning
and from the heart the chaplain rendered
this gift, the voluntary contribution of the
members of the lodge in honor of the occa-
sion, it being the forty-6fth anniversary of
P. G. Steers initiation into this lodge, and
Brother Sizer having been most faithful at
tendant at all meetings during that time,
with but very few exceptions. z. Il. Slzer
was taken completely by surprise and for the
moment was lost for words to express his
feelings. But soon came a flow of words
with happy remarks and grateful thanks for
this gift.
The chair is patent rocker in black wal
nut upholstered in embossed maroon plush,
very neat and rich.
Remarks were also made by P. Gs. sylvia
nus Butler, F. E. Todd, Edward Hubbell, w.
Frank Peckham, Theodore Keller, W. II.
Robinson, P. B. Beebe, N. A. Beebe, George
d. Stevens and Others.
After the lodge closed all were invited to
partake of refreshments with lemonade and
ice cream, which committee had thought
fully provided. Thus passed another of the
many events in the life of cold .Quinnipiac. =

shrubs; Elizabeth Lafoye, for rose bush
valued at $1.25; J. H. Lansing, for $4.75,

Bradley of West Haven, for 1925, for pear

Also George w. Loveland, who keeps a
grocery store on Saltonstall avenue, Fair Ha-

81. so or $1.75. Mr.. Loveland is very indig-
nant over the matter and has consulted coun-

sign paper, or an order, for a rose bush,

want it, but the agent left it. Next came
the suit. Mr.. G. A. Tyler is counsel for the
Kingsley firm, and the papers were served in
each one of the cases by Deputy Sheriff
