tainment.

The Grand Chapter of the Order of the
Eastern Star Of California has concluded
its labors and a session marked by the
most pleasant relations both in the ESQ
teric sessions and in the social features of
the evening assemblies has become a
thing OF the past.
The visitors have departed, feeling that
everything possible has been done for
their comfort and pleasure, and bearing
with them the warmest remembrance of
the cordiality with which they have been
welcomed, and it is safe TO say that the
names of Naomi and Columbus Chapters
of this city will ever waken responsive
glow in the bosoms of those who came
here to attend the Grand Chapter.

the morning with the election Of Julia

session that number Of places would
contest for the honor of entertaining the
next Grand Chapter, but they one by one
withdrew their claims to succeed Sacra-
mento, until ii seemed as if it would fall
to San Francisco. Los Angeles, how
ever, stepped boldly into the breach and
it was unanimously decided to hold the
next session there.
The proceedings went out in blaze
glory last night, when Naomi Chapter
entertained not only the Grand Chapter,
but also extended an invitation to all the
Masons of the city, which was heartily
responded to. The blue lodge room was
packed with guests, who overtiowed into
the other rooms.
Worthy Patron Z. B. Willis of Naomi
Chapter presided, and responses were
made by the neWly-installed Worthy
Grand Patron Thomas Flint, Jr., Past
Worthy Grand 'Matron Mrs. A. h.
Krebs, Past Worthy Grand Matron
Emma Hapgood, the newly-installed
Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. A. D. VIII
son, Past Grand Master OF Masons Will
lam Johnston, Mrs. Mary a. Flint, Past
Worthy Grand Matron of California, and
Past Most Worthy Grand Matron of the
General Grand Chapter of the United
States, and Past Worthy Grand Patron
Allen Is. Lennon. The remarks of ali
though brief, were eloquent and to the
point and were loudly applauded.
The invited guests had been told that
the Olympian Degree would be conferred,
and were all on tiptOe of expectation of
seeing something new to their Masonic
experience. And they did, too and their
sides ached in consequence long after
ward.
AS the late Rob Morris, the founder of
the order of the Eastern Star, sung years
ago:
The goat pranced wildly round the room,
The candidate wanted TO so home.
And it was a funny scene, that none
who witnessed it will soon forget. The
signs, the passwords, and the lessons thew
taught viii, 1t is TO be hoped, remain in
deIibly impressed upon the mind of the
unfortunate candidate.
In the conterring Of the degree the fol-
lowing members of Naomi Chapter took
part:
Mrs Kolliker, Queen; George Dunn.
hlng; Mrs y. W. BOYD, Mrs. Charles
Rood, Mrs. George Dunn, Mrs. w. B.
Miller, Mrs. Emma Bidwell, Mrs. Max
Hornlein, Miss Clara Keber, Mrs. Lizzie
Dorner, Miss Lucy Gett, Charles Aiken
and d. Farr.
When the audience had somewhat re-
covered, the orchestra struck UP lively
waltz, and the floors OF two rooms were
taken possession of by the dancers until
the supper march gave the signal for
departure to the banquet room.
-Four long tables and two smaller ones.
seating over 200 persons, had been pre-
pared under the supervision of Johnson.
the well-known caterer, and presented
all the variety of viands that heart could
wish. Again and again were the crowd
seated at them, and the assembly broke
up at an early hour this morning, VOW
ing that Naomi Chapter had covered it,
self with glory.
