erica came on Tuesday, April &c.
Although much the same in its struc-
ture and workings on both sides of
the Atlantic, the order in England is
entitled the Manchester Unity, and
that in the United States the Balti-
more Unity, from their respective
places of foundation.
There are two primary lodges of
the Order and an Encampment, be-
sides degree lodge of the ladies'
branch, Daughters of Rebekah, in
Honolulu. In the celebration of the
anniversary Excelsior, Harmony, and
Pacific Degree Cd. Of R.) lodges
united. AS a preliminary to the
days own celebration, Rev. Alex,
Macintosh, an Odd Fellow himself,
preached an able anniversary sermon
in St. Andrews Cathedral on Sun
day evening last. The service was
attended by the three lodges in re-
gala.
The anniversary celebration took
place in Harmony hall, King street,
and consisted of literary and musi-
Cal exercises, followed by dance. 1t
was well managed in spite of the as
sembly being too great for the size of
the rooms. The reception committee
wearing red and white rosettes were
Bros. r. N. Webster, M. d. Monsar-
rat and F. p. Mcintyre, Sisters G.
Petrie and A. Burnheimer; the floor
committee, Bros. III. H. Williams and
r. N. Webster and Sister A. l.. Cron.
When the exercises opened at 1880
o'clock the hall was filed to over
flowing, many members of the order
standing in the anteroom. There
was large number of lady guests
besides the Daughters of Rebekah
present. The hall is always an i'm
posing one with its stately canopies
over the officers stations and elegant
finishing and furnishings. On this
occasion there were added decora-
tions of singular beauty. The chair
and vice chair at either end had about
them tall clusters of palms and large
punches of ferns and bouquets of
chairs of the Past Grand and Chap
lain were emblems-the three links,
cross, anchor, heart, etc. Festoons
of vines ran from the corners and
were gathered in device of the
same material at the center ventila-
tor if the ceiling. The Noble Grand's
canopy was draped with the Ameri-
can and Hawaiian flags. There was
an effect OF the whole which was both
striking and pleasing.

sior Lodge, presided. Acting as his
right supporter was Bro. j. G. Loren
zen, N. G. of Harmony Lodge, and
