wall, No. 2. OF \. J. Ehe session was the
inosr interesting that has been Eeld IN
/ sometime. and great thanks are due
Brother Rodman and Maspsth Section for
the able manner in which they took care
Of the delegates.
/ Poor Ellington and his committee re-
port on the banner were left again John
| has been trying to get 1t ia for two years.
At the meeting Of Fisk Section on Tues
day evening the members wore very
gloomy countenauces. The cause was
very apparent. Ine rain was coming
down in torrents, and it was the night
before the famous Both. and the prospects
4 looked very dark for a large excursion If
the rain kept up. Later.-The rain kept
] up.
4 large delegation OF Hudson section
visited Fisk on Tuesday evening and
made things hum. They are lively
I crowd.
Eureka Section did not meet on
wednesday evening, owing to the mem
Ders wishing 70 attend the excursion.
Brother Thoinas Douglas, of Iyaphoe,
has gone on bicycling trip. TON" did
| yeofnan's work on the excursion-for
Ivanhoe
Notwithstanding the inclen1ency Of the
weather on Friday evening, Hudson Sec
ton held largely attended meeting
Iyanhoe
The members OF the Hudson Dramatic
Society are talking OF leasing q nall and
/ sub-letting it TO the section. A change Of
meeting rooms would be great advant-
| age TO the section.
Many people wonder who was floor
| manager on the excursion For their in
4 formation it may be stated that Brother
4 Edward Simon, of Ivanhoe, was ap-
| pointed to that position. but for some IN
/ explained reason he turned it over TO
Brother Douglas. who in turn gave it TO
| Brothers John Dingwall and T nj Hig-
! gins. Wonder what WIS the trouble
The s'Feese Twins OF Eareka, were
out in all their glory, but were very much
disappointed That Eureka did not win the
/ pitcher. Seven is an uniucky number, at
least it was for Eureka.
Beau Drummer now saws that he
4 only had twenty-girls with him on the
excursion John is strong favorite
| with the ladies'.
Brother +. De Alva, of Hudson. is quite
in love with Long Island. He says their
refreshments are Of the highest order,
and Frank is Il good judge, too
Brother T. J. Higgins won the Flsk's
medal for selling the largest number of
Edward Simon carried off Iyanhoe's
i token.
A number of Hudsonis members were
seen to enjoy themselves in q most inn
! proved manner on the lower deck OF the
barge and several older members Of the
~
The members must bear in mind that
the date for the Grand Section Of New
Jersey to be instituted is rapidly ap-
preaching. and they must make some
/ preparation TO give the national officers
| good reception.
Among the happy people on the ex-.
cursion none seemed to enjoy themselves
1 more than the members Of the Fisk
/ Dramatic Society. The William seemed
to forget his revenge and gaiiy danced
along with the Hero, the rSoubrette"
! and the Heroine. And of course the
Light Comedian was there making
himself agreeable TO all the ladies. TAX
ing them altogether they were enc of the
| inerriest parties on the barge.
In spite of the uafavorabie weather
quite large number of people attended
tue excursion on last Wednesday, The
day turned ont very pleasant later on and
every body enjoyed themselves hugely
The contest for the silver pitcher was OF
course the prominent feature of the day
/ and created q good deal of excitement
The grove was reached about quarter to
four p. m and the return trip began at
| quarter to i've p. m. Music and dancing
were INDUCED in hy all, and as they left
the barge TO wend their way home every
BODY voted the Fisk and Iyanhoe ex-
| cursl0n success.
It is rumored that Ivanhoc is about to
starta national bank. SO that they may be
able to win every prize that may be put up.
They don't intend to lend any N present
At the grand section meeting Fisk had
present five representatives, Hudson one
and Eureka one. None of Ivanhoe's
members were present
1t may be stated that a large number Of
the crack baseball team, known as the
"TabernHcles.n are also members of the
| Cadets of Temperance. This may ac-
count for their many victories.
The contest is over and lYanhoe is the
happy possessor of the silver pitcher.
Long before the polls opened the mem
Ders were anxiousiy waiting, SO that they
could give their faForite section good
lead at the start. At the first Fisk lead
by good majority, but as the day wore
on 1vanhoe slowly crept up, until they at
last held first place. Then the excite
ment grew intense. First Fisk then
| Ivanhoe would lead, closely followed by
| Hudson, with Eureka rot in IL. At last
IL narrowed down TO a contest between
Fisk and Ivsnhoe, with the result greatly
in doubt By this time there were about
TWO hundred people crowded around the
polling desk. and they would cheer first
Tor one section and then for the other.
Thirty seconds before the close Ivanhoe
sent 10 SO votes by Brother Thomas Dong
lass, which gave them a total OF AS This
was about 20 more than Fisk could cover.
The contest was over and IYanhoe had
won. The total vote was rs follows
Ivanhoe, ATS; Fisk, s33; Hudson, s.;
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
The battle between the two factions
continues AID will not end until the legal
action ordered by the Cleveland Grand
Lodge terminates. The New York Graud
Lodge has notified al lodges that failed
TO report TO it that they must appear to-
morrow to explain why, as charges have
been preferred The result villa be If New
York wins in the legal struggle that the
majority of the lodges will stand by the
Western Grand Lodge which now is re-
yising the ritual in anticipation of an
adverse decision and paving the way for
reorganization. Some lodges win unite
with New York Lodge who now reeog-
nlze the authority OF the Weslin Grand
Lodge.
