Tuesday evening Anacostia Lodge No 81 will
have q very important event occur in the history
of the lodge, it being no less than the dedication
of the new hall, which, after continued effort
and perseverance upon the part of the members
of the lodge, is now completed fact. The un-
dertaking on the part of organization no
larger than this lodge, numerically speaking,
was beset by many difficulties, and great obsta-
cles had to be overcome before the object was
attained, but the interest and loyalty of the
members to their Masonic alma mater, coupled
with the energy of the building committee, have
overcome all impediments, and the new build
ing will stand as monument to their industry
and zeal in the welfare of their lodge. After
the dedicatory ceremonies have been concluded
an opportunity will be afforded the brethren
present and their ladies toinspect the new build
ing and its appointments prior to the dedication
ball, which will be held in the large hall of the
Temple. Tickets to this event have been issued
at one dollar each admitting gentleman and
ladies. The lodge is very desirous OF clearing
off the debt which still remains, incident to the
expenses of building and fitting up the new hall,
and it is the duty of the brethren Of the jurisdc
tion to assist them, and consequently everybody
should purchase at least one ticket. This juris-
diction has always been noted for the assistance
1t so readily renders through its lodges when aid
is requested from foreign sources An opportu-
nifty is now afforded for the brethren individ-
ually to come forward and assist lodge which
has never failed to perform her part in the most
generous manner whenever called upon and has
aided in maintaining the high standing of the
-isdiction in this regard. The successful cul-
on of the undertaking of Anacostia Lodge
g regarded with great pride by the men,
r sister lodges, who now have an op-
p--'--1- Of expressing their qualification and
congratulating them in fraternal, substantial,
and practical way.
The concave of Columbia Commandery No. 2
will be devoted to routine business on Friday
evening. After mature deliberation the COM
mandery has decided not to attend in a body the
Masonic fair now being held at Baltimore. The
usual activity of the Sir knights is being mani
tested in the affairs of the commandery and the
winter season is being looked forward to with
the greatest interest and pleasant anticipation.
AS usual, the course of historic lectures will add
greatly to the interest of the current events and
will be continued by the Past Commanders up
to the date of the present administration.
The fact that these lectures attract such a
large attendance of the younger members
of the commandery is an evidence OF the
wisdom of continuing them, that through
their medium the interesting episodes of
the past may be fully understood by all.
Probably the most jealous and active member
of the commandery is Sir Knight William Pit
tbs, NJ D.. the able and efficient Recorder. The
peculiar duties of this office in any Masonic
body necesstate a great degree of tact and
Judgment especially SO in the commandery,
and the organization which equips itself with a
good Recorder has secured great advantage on
the road to prosperity. Energy and faithful
ness are the first requisites, and these virtues
are happily combined in the gentleman alluded
to above.
Mount Vernon Chapter No. 8 held a highly
interesting conVocation Monday evening, the
exercises being interspersed with the promo
tion and installation of the Grand Masters of
the Three Walls, as follows: j. @. Taylor, first
w. Hamilton Smith, second, and DR.. ID. p.
Hieklng third After the transaction of i'm
portant business the Mark Master degree was

Kinney. On Tuesday evening the same body
occupied the Chapter Chamber and worked the
Past and Most Excellent Masters degrees and
on Thursday evening another convocaton was
called for the Royal Arch. On Monday evening
very distinguished attendance was present,
among whom were Past High Priests John II.
Olcott, G.. w. Hancock, w. X. Mendenhall, j.
G. Allen, c. II, Smith, Samuel Baxter W. w.
Wetzel, w. S. Parks, Il. B. Hay, and the pres
ent High Priest of Mount Horeb Chapter No. Z,
Charles l.. Patten, who assisted in the confer
ring of the degrees. Companion f. w. Cridler,
the Excellent Scribe of this chapter, has Just
sailed from New York on trip to England and
France.
The annual inspection of De Molay Command
cry No. occurred Monday afternoon last.
The commandery, splendidly mounted, assem-
to Capitol Park, where they were duly inspected
by Past Commander James p. Pearson Their
appearance was magnificent, while the eyolu-
tions marVels of skill and displayed the
high intelligence of the members, who seldom
drill as a mounted organization The Eminent
Commander, Sir Charles G. M. Loeffler headed
the procession, while f. e. Alexander, the
Generalissimo, and James M. Hodges Captain
General, had charge of the commandery. 1t is
expected that this commandery will attract
general attention at Denver during the coming
conclaye, thereby rejecting great credit upon
the high standard of Templarism in this city

intention of going.
Bros w. j. Roose, 33d degree, and Joseph
