at first sight. seemed disappointing in num-
bers. Many visitors, including about twenty
candidates already elected, were involun-
tarily kept away because of washouts on
several railroads Hardly any of those who
were expected from along the line of the IN
dianapolis & Vincennes Railway We're able
to get through, and consequently, instead
of a class of about eighty the consistory
was able to put through but fifty-five. The
work yesterday afternoon was that of con-
ferring all degrees from the nineteenth to
the thirtieth, inclusive, and was success
fully carried through with much enthusi-
asm. At the session last night the same
candidates were given the thirty-first and
thirty-second degrees. The work was given
with the grace and smoothness which
characterzes the efforts of such expert
enced officers as Illustrious Commander in
Chief Jacob w. Smith and Master of Cere-
monies John T. Brush, with their cowork-
ers. The class, which numbered ffty-hVe,
