Dog-days are that part OF the year
about the time Of the heliacal rising of the
dog-star. Various dates, from July Sd TO
August 18th, have been assigned for the
first dog-day and various durations-
from 80 to 81 days. Pliny says they he
gan with the heliacal rising of Procyon.
which took place, he says, July 18th. ana
this date has been widely accepted But
he also says the sun was then entering

ventiOn Grand Master Sargent began
reading his biennial report, which was
interesting throughout. It took the
greater part Of four days to the reading
Of all OF the grand lodge officers reports.
The Grand Masters report showed that
the Brotherhood had made a wonderful
growth In membership in the last four
years, especially the last two; also that
the influence of our order was greater to-
day than at any time in It's history.
The report Of the Grand Secretary and
Treasurer showed that during the last
year the order had paid out of the bene-
fciary fund about $3.50, 900, all debts be-
ing paid, with a balance in the grand
lodge treasury up to date amounting to
$l5O,000 This was considered by all as

ing, leaving little daughter to the char
ity Of the world without any assistance,
the convention donated $1,5OO to the
support Of this little one, and Marguerite
Dorsey will from now on have proper
care; for all Of which she can well thank
the Brotherhood for looking after her
welfare. The last work to be done was
the election Of officers and boards, which
resulted in no changes in the grand lodge
officers and few changes in the boards.
This closed one Of the most successful
conventions ever held in the interest of

ing the report of the grand lodge officers
came the report of the constitution and

made in our laws that will undoubtedly
have a tendency to strengthen the Broth
erhood and increase its membership, The
committee on disallowed beneficiary
claims reported that some members had
died in bad standing and that the claims
did not come under our laws. Many
claims were recommended paid by the
committee, others referred to the grand
lodge for action. In less than three

and played patriotic United States airs,
all of which made us feel proud OF the
country that we represented in Canada.

the people of that beautiful city, and
