dispatches of felicitation. These will

the perfection of the commemorative
exercises, which promise to be the
most imposing series of ritualistic OBJ

ranged the details, and the members
have by this time become familiar with

The central feature of the occasion
will be the services to be held at the

JURISDICTION MEMBERS.

Vast as is the growth herelshown it
does not do justice to the percentage
of increase, as only round numbers are
given, and thus many lodges are not
represented in the figures
1t is not likely that so representative
a gathering of American odd fellows
will be witnessed again for decades as
this. No man of any prominence in
the order will be absent or unrcpre-
seited. As stated, the exercises have
been specially prepared and include
not merely the general programme
which is already familiar to every odd
fellow in the land, but addresses OF q
special nature by the grand officers.
Ample arrangements have been
made for the accommodation OF frater-
nal visitors to Baltimore, and the au-
thorities have issued every necessary
permit connected with the open air
exercises. All that need be asked now
is fair weather.
