This Is one OF the most beautiful spots
on the east bank OF the famous river. IL

commodations for more than twice that
number. 1t was said by some Of the
brothers whose hair has not yet "turnedo
that they would feel reconciled to age IL
they felt assured OF such peaceful place
10 end long life peacefully. Past Grand
Master Ware, President of the Home COR
poration, took great deal OF pride In
showing visitors the beautiful place. He
has good right to feel proud because it
was largely through bis lnstrumentality
that the fine charity was developed. Even
IL the home should cease to be NECESSARY

made good investment, rs the property
can be sold for more than double the first
coat. After an hours stay at the Home
the journey up the river was resumed,
arriving in Norwich at O'Clock. The
Wauregan House was headquarters and
there the Rhode Island delegation was
cared for IN excellent fashion. In the

the second degree was conferred. after
the work, Past Grand Sire Saunders and
other distinguished visitors made short
addresses and the lodge furnished COLA
tion.
Next morning the invited guests were
taken around town In open carriages ana
they soon understood why Norwich had
been christened "The Rose of New En-
gland" The city was in it's most beauti-
ful garb under the sky OF perfect May
day. The Grand Lodge session teyan at
10 O'Clock with more than 800 delegates
present. The visitors were received with
the courtesies of the order and took q
great deal OF pleasure with their brother
Odd Fellows.
:, AZ noon open cars were taken to Sachem
Park, pretty place, about four miles
out OF town, where dinner was served
by the Daughters Of Rebekab. The after
noon session began at 2 o'clock and at
4:15 the Grano Looge adjourned, after
elect ing q Norwich past grand as grand
warden. 1t was noticed that State sec
lion played prominent part in the eIec-
tion OF officers. This was also apparent
in choosing the place for the next meet
ing OF the Grand Lodge. Waterford
wanted Ii next year, but New Britein had
the most votes. Hospitality was supreme
after this until 7:l5 O'Clock when the
Rhode Islend and New York; delegations
started homeward with warm frsternal
feelings for Grand Master AlIing, Grand
