Enterprise Lodge worked the NJ. NJ.
Degree for the last Time this term. The
curtain fell OH Friday night and its team
can enjoy a few weeks rest with the salts
faction that it has won an enyiable repu-
tation and its fame has not only extended
throughout the grand jurisdiction but
has reached the sister States. Despite
the fact that the costume is an innovation
it cannot be disputed that the appear
ance of the team always attracts large
gathering of the craft. The opponents of
the costume, however, attribute this TO
the novel movements, perfect drill and
faultlesS work. 1t is palpably evident
that they are making rapid gain in the
effort to obtain the official endorsement
of the feature thew have introduced and
the capital manner in which they execute
the parts assigned them is uudoubt-
edly very materially aiding them
in their endeavor to secure the
recognition sought. They made
the last appearance memorable
one The Grand Master aud other lights
of the Grand Lodge had been invited.
The room was tastefully decorated with
ferns and chrysanthemums by Brother
Dauiel Cole and it resembled a we'll man
aged conservatory. The room was crowd
ed when the work began. Worshipful
Brother Benjamin f. Wakefield presided
and the craftsmen were led by its drill
master, r. w. Brother Robert Simpson,
assisted by Worshiptul Brothers Brown,
Chapman, Cornell f. Davis and Seward.
The original and enthusiastic drill mas
ter introduced some new, complicated
and pretty movements. which were exc
cuted without an error by the we'll trained
and Intelligent team. All present were
pleased and p aised the officers and the
team. The Grand Officers complimented
them and the eXuberant craft gave vent
to their enthusiasm i'll such expressions
as ut could not be equalled." "Captain"
