York. The rite has an enrolment of over
twenty-five thousand members in this cOun-
try, about twelve hundred of whom are in
New York. There was an exemplifcation
in full form within the Consistory of the
Sublime Princess of the Royal Secret.
The degree which received special eXem-
plitication on this occasion was the twenty
seventh, Commander of the Temple. Some
conceptions can be formed of its grandeur
when it Is known that there were required
eighty-six brethren in full costume on the
floor of the hall, with a double quartet,
three organists and three cornetists. Charles
7. McClenachan, 33d degree, was the com
man~der-in-chief.
All the degrees during the reunion were
conferred with that magniticence of pom
and ceremony characteristic of the rite. The
display of talent and intellect has never
been excelled, if even eQualled, and the
gathering will long be remembered by the
brethren as one of the greatest events in the
annals of the Scottish rite.
Delegates of the thirty-second and thirty
third degrees from almost every state in the
union were present at the meeting.

to Col. Hooker, gathered in the face of a
fierce wind, driving snow and terrible
travelling. The hall was crowded with
earnest Republicans from Vergennes,
Waltham. Ferrisburgh, Weybridge, New
Haven, Monkton, Panton and other
towns. President E. T. Healey intro
duced Col. Hooker, who gave an address
covering the broad field of national pol
itics and national issues between the par
ties. He reviewed the history of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties, and
left little to be said on the dominant
questions Of the campaign. He enforced
intelligent action, careful consideration
and conscientious voting. He felt that
united action and fair play would place a
Republican President in the chair. He
felt certain that every vote would be
looked after, and the reputation of Yer
mont nobly sustained. The address was
heartily applauded throughout; it was
well loaded with sharp hits, apt illustra-
tons and side-splitting anecdotes. Hon.
