Standard Council of New York TO Alpine
Council of this city. Beside Alpine
Council there were also DELEGATIONS pres

were right royalty received is expressing
it very mildly. In the good OF the order,
Orator Condor of Standard welcomed the

Johnson recited some of his ~speclalties
for which he is renowned. Brother
Nixon of Pioneer made q very elo-

the grandest ovations ever given to an
officer of a subordinate council.
After several speeches by some of the
most prominent Arcanumites of New
York State the visitors were escorted TO a
sumptuous repast which was furnished
in the banquet room. All hands voted

Opera House the most enjoyable event
OF the season.

initiated. A report from the special
committee appointed 10 arrange for an

meeting.
Regrent Growney, of Pioneer, is a great
entertainer. There is hardly a night
passes but some of the boys of Pioneer
have a right good time at his house. Re-
Gently he invited Brother Merity out to
his country residence for chestnuts, but

were all gathered in The day before he got
there.
