chair, worked the initiatory degree
upon Gov. Page, H. NJ Moves, F. n.
Keller of Hyde Park; c. H. Stearns
of johnson and l.. j. Eldridge fMor-
risville. The work was faultlessly per-
formed and the hearty applause the
lodge received from the lookers-on
was a manifestation of approval of
the excellency of the work. The music
for this degree was furnished by an
orchestra from the st. Adams lodge
and was one of the pleasant features.
The first degree was worked by Mont
pelier lodge, with HI, III. Scribner in
| the chair. This degree, like the former
one, was well worked and received
hearty applause. At this point re-
cess was taken and the company re-
paired to the American House where
| an excellent banquet was served by
Mine Host Randall. At the compile
ton of the feast the hall was again
resorted to and the second and third
degrees were worked by Green Noun
tain lodge of Burlington, with E. H.
Boardman in the chair. The work
by this lodge was also well rendered
and received applause.
This completing the work speeches
were in order, and appropriate re-
remarks were made by the following:
Grand Master Horton He congrat-
ulated the lodge on its fine outlook
and rare honor of making an Odd
Fellow out of the Chief Executive of
the State; Deputy Grand Master
GoodelI, who had greatly enjoyed the
event, hoped this lodge would prove
a Sterling one; Past Grand Master
Henderson, who saw in it strong ma
terial and predicted for it a prosper
Gus future; Rev. H. T. Barnard of
Underhill, who was made an Odd Eel
low when five of Sterling lodge s
members took the necessary degrees
at Burlington. He was glad to see
the outcome of that event which re-
suited in the institution of this lodge
and had already brought forth such
excellent fruit. Gov. Page and HI.
NJ Mcfarland also made appropriate
remarks, which completed an event
which will long be cherished by this
young lodge of Odd Fellows.
Everything passed off very pleas
antly. The home lodgeis under many
obligations for the assistance and
words of encouragement given it by
the visiting brethren, and hopes the
fraternal relations so pleasantly in
stituted may long continue.
