Masonic Bodies Combining to Make the
Fair Success.
Communications Read to
on Contributions and Music.

There have been many notable fairs held
in Washington in the past twenty-five
years, the most memorable of which perhaps,
in the order of their happening, being the
fair for the benefit of the French sufferers
from the Franco-Prussian war, the fair Of
the National Rifles, the fair of the Wash
ington Light Infantry, the Yahrmart and
the teachers bazaar. All these were occa-
sons of brilliancy and beauty, and from
each the substantial returns were unusually
large.
There will be fair held here in April
next, however, that promises to eclipse all
its predecessors in all particulars, because
the energy. effort and application inspired
by the most intense enthusiasm which are
being directed to advancing the project
cannot fail to accomplish success of the
most brilliant character. The fair will be
given under the auspices of the Masors of
the District, and the total proceeds will be
devoted to the fund for building the pro-
posed new Masonic Temple. Already the
various Masonic bodies here have displayed
considerable rivalry in their efforts to do
the biggest amount and the most SubStan-
tial sort of work in behalf of the under
taking. This was developed in most en-
phatic manner at the meeting of the board
of control held last night at the headquar-
tiers. No. 1925 New York avenue. There
was full attendance. which attested the
appreciation felt at the cheering reports
received
Working Together With n VIII.
Communications were received in reply
to the recent circular letter sent out to
the various Masonic bodies, and, after Pres
ident ]. Henry Small, jr., had called the
meeting to order, Secretary Howard Perry
read them. Each was received with ap-
plause. Albert Pike. Consistory of the Scot
fish Rite suggested that all Scottish Kite
bodies combine and have single booth,
original, ingenious and beautiful as
could be devised.
The mobiles of Almas Temple of the Mys-
tic Shrine applied for the paddle stand,
promising to make it a feature, and Poten-
tate Harry Stamford of Almas Temule,
a member of the board, stated that the
ShIinerS were very much interested in the
fair and would give an excellent account
of themselves The Masonic bodies of
West Washington will be represented by
single booth, upon which great care and
taste will be expended. Applications for
space and booths were received from
Pentalpha, Lafayette, King David, b. b.
French and other lodges and from all the
Royal Arch chapters and the Columbia
and Washington communicates, knights
Templar The letters from the ladies or
the Eastern Star showed lively desire
to assist in the good work.

position of general counsel to the board

The head for the stationery to be used
