The l. o. o. F. temple last evening pre-
scented q scene of unusual brilliancy and
revelry. An assemblage of about fifteen
hundred people was there to celebrate the
seventy-third anniversary Of the intro
duction of Odd Fellowship into America.
The celebration partook of quite family
character, as none but Odd Fellows and
their families were permitted to take part
in 1t.
The proceedings were of very versatile
kind. Several entertainments were going
on simultaneously in the different cham
bers OF the elegant building.
The anniversary ceremonies were the
tlrst item on the programme. Grand
Master William P. Rowe presided, and the
officers of the grand assisted. Promptly at
o'clock the president called tho brethren
TO order. The chaplain, Past Grand J. M.
Breeze, offered the opening prayer, and
the reverend B. F. Clay delivered most
interesting address, which was listened to
with the greatest attention. The reverend
gentlemen briefly recounted the origin,
rise and marvellous progress of the grand
order in the United States and gave words
Of encouragement and cheer for the
future. The brethren of the uniform rank
were present in full dress uniform, and by
their fine appearance added greatly to the
impressiveness of the scene.
The anniversary exercises terminated at
9 O'Clock, and Immediately afterward the
opening march of the grand ball COM
menced under the direction of Prof.
Younger in the large ballroom, and at the
same time a musical and dramatic enter
tainment was given in the hall on the
