una Exercises AT the 1neuteE-h he
EIks rs Entcrtainers- ELECTION OF
Grand Officers, Etc.
The past week has been gala day
for Olympia. Notwithstanding the
severe storm which preceded the day
OF assembling. and the damp weather
which has prevailed at times since, the
attendance has been quite large and
the evidences of fraternal feeling no
tally universal and marked. 1t is
quite probable, however, that the in
clement weather, Saturday, caused
many to Stay at home who would
otherwise have swelled the number OF
guests accompanying their Pythian
friends.
Ample preparations in the way of
decoration had been completed by Sat
urday noon, but the storm which pre-
vailed at the close of the day, all night
and Sunday changed what had been
objects of beauty into wreckage that
was anything but suggestive of clear
weather and fair skies. Such an in
congruity between surroundings and
the beneficent objects of the order that
was to assemble could not, o: course,
be tolerated, and force of men Mon
day morning replaced the tattered
bunting with new, rearranged the
evergreen trees which had been blown
over, and retouched the emblems
and notices that had been draggled
and torn by the hand of old Boreas.
Sunday evening At I 80 the first in
stallment of visitors arrived by the
steamer Multnomah, and an hour later
another by North Pacific train from
the north, including Supreme Chan.
cellor w. w. Blackwell, of Kentucky,
the highest representative of the Pyth-
ian order in the world. Monday
morning the Skagit Chief came up
from Tacoma, with two divisions OF
the Uniformed Rank. Harmony Lodge
band, of Tacoma, and large number
of representatives. Still other MEM
bers and guests arrived by the MONDAY
and afternoon trains and the evening
boat.
All these visiting brethren were met
at the train and boat by a committee
of the lodge, and were escorted to the
quarters prepared for them. The Spo.
kane division of Uniform rank were
taken to the Carlton House, and iii.
visions 4 and 20 from Tacoma were
escorted to the Olympia Hotel.
