came before the Sovereign Grand

ReS0lred, That the official certificate,
provided by the legislation of 1896 shall |
for so cents per 100, and to subordinate !
lodges, encampments and Rebekah lodges |
at the rate of 81 per 100

fair is putting it very mild compared

players as the Band now comprises,
which was proved beyond criticism by
the fine concert they rendered.
