Senior and Junior Past Grand Presidents.
Fitzgerald and Miller. the in and OUTGOING
Grand President and the Grand Nice-Presi-
dent, we recommend the adoption of the reso-
luton.
Recommendation adopted.
In the matter OF the resolution of Los Osos.
No 81, in reference to ribbon regalia with
jewel attachments indicative of the oflicer,S
rank, we report adversely, for the reason that
we do not consider the time propitious as a.
great number of the parlors have reflrnished
their wardrooes with new regalias and there
fore would work hardship at this time; and.
further, that many of the smaller parors
with a limited membership, could not we'll
afford to make any changes of additional ex-
pense TO their eXchequers; and, further that
any parlor offering resolutions of this chnrac-
ter present them to the Grand Parlor allow
ing at least one year for consideration. We
therefore report adversely.
Recommendation adopted.
In the matter of the resolution of Past
Grand President ChaS. w. Decker that the
present opening, closing and initiatory odes
be abolished, and the odes of 1881 subsfi,
tuted therefor, we recommend the adoption of
the resolution:
Recommendation of the committee

In the matter of the resolution of Yosernita
Parlor, No. "a, in reference to the present
ritual, we report as follows: That we condemn
the present, what we would designate as an
other mahe-shift ritual, and recommend that
the present Grand Parlor take immediata
steps to adopta ritual that would interest and
at the same time be instructive to both condi
date and members, thereby renewing an in
terest leading to increased attendance en-
body1ng therein incidents and groundwork
typical of the early lives of pioneer fore
fathers and the earlier history OF our grand
old State.

We have carefully examined and considered
the San Jose ritual which was exempIitied on
the floor OF this parlor last night and which
