over eighty guests sat down to the tables.
which wore handsomely decorated with
bouquets of cut flowers. Oysters. salads,
cold meats. turkey. ices and coffee were
served. When the cigars were passed
Mr.. F. A. Secord. who has been The
prime mover in the establishment of the
lodge, called the guests to order and intro
duced Judge Groesbeck as toast master,
The judge, in well chosen words, con-
graduated the members of the tribe upon
its suspicious beginning. In the red men
OF history and tradition there was much
to admire, and the present order in emu
lating the virtues OF the fast disappearing
race and perpetuating what was poetic
and worthy in its history, was an organ
i%zation of which its members should be
proud.
DIR. Thayer, great sachem of Colorado,
welcomed the reservation of Wyoming to
the grand council of the order. The order
is strong in the East and is growing
rapidly in the West. The members from
Colorado were glad to have an opportunity
of aiding the Wyoming brethren and
would always try to do them good.
Representative James johnson had
anticipated much pleasure from this event
but found the realization gave him more
pleasure than he had anticipated. He
had looked forward for years to the
establishment of the order In Wyoming
and this was a proud moment.
Past Great Sachem T. NJ. Knight said
he had assisted In iustituting a number of
tribes in Iowa aud Nebraska, but this
outvies them all. The members would
never feel ashamed OF the order. 1t was
to the manner born. 1t was American
aud founded on patriotism. The more
you see Of it, the more you will like it.
Great Chief of Records Henry
Keeius paid a glowing tribute to MIR. r..
A. Secord for his work in concentrating
the organization OF the order IN
Wyoming. From last years journal
he read the following record of the
order In America: Members, ll2, 900;
members adopted last year. %, 954; ex-
pended in aid to brothers. $24s, SAT; in
aid to widows, $6,457; for burial OF mem
bers, $50, 9S4; other expenditures, $4l9,.
299; total. 1874, $50.
1t is the only order which has a school
committee to look after orphans Of mem
bers Of the order and see that they receive
an education. 1t is the only order which
compels the payment of sick benefits to
its members under all circumstances.
MI. Van der Wyden. a member OF the
eighth legislature of Colorado, thanked
the Wyoming members for the courtesy
and hospitality shown their guests and
predicted that in six months Wyoming
would be ready to form a great council of
its own.
Mr.. Mollison advocated tho establish
ment of lodge of the Daughters of Poca-
hontas aud assured the members that
with the cooperation of the ladies the
work Of the order would be greatly bene-
flied.
DIR. ThaYer, on behalfof Colorado, gave
an invitation to every Wyoming member
to visit the Colorado lodges whenever
they came to Denver. The bauqueters
then adjourned to the wlgwam where the
ceremonies concluding the installation
