regular meeting a few evenings ago, con
ferred the rank of sir knight on w. A Hos
letter. A number of visitors were present.
The regular drills Of this division will be
taken up again very soon now and they seem
determined to maintain their reputation for
efficiency in the manual.
The roster is not quite full and good mem
bers Of ''quiet'' divisions in the city would
do well TO apply for admission. Captain Hay
ward and all members in attendance at Gin
cinnati returned much encouraged and are
already looking forward to the meeting at
Milwaukee two years hence with the deter
m~ination of capturing one of the many prizes
to be offered at that time.
Trojan division No. 1S is another promising
division. The members met at their armory
last Friday night to confer the rank on six
Candidates. Captain Mendenhall is fast
bringing his men to the front, and great sue
cess is looked for.
