The Norfolk lodges of Odd Fellows
celebrated the eighticth anniversary of
the foundation of the order last night
at the Grand Opera House, on Church
street. The members were out in force,
and the occasion was graced by the
presence of many ladies. Rev. Charles
W. Petit, eXMayor of the city. pre-
sided.
The feature Of the evening was the
address of Hon. Alfred S. Pinkerton, of
Worcester, Mass, grand sire of the or
der. who was felicitously introduced by
Colonel William Lamb. in brief, but
we'll chosen remarks.
THE ADDRESS.
Mr.. Pinkcrton expressed the pleasant
feelings he experienced at standing once
more on the soil OF the Old Dominion.
he was happy to be present as Mas
sachusetts man, for the two old Com
monwealths had stood shoulder to
shoulder for many years. lie dwelt upon
the union of hearts which exists be-
tween the men of the two States, and
referring to the war with Spain, said
the sons of Massachusetts and the sons
of Virginia had slept together by the
same campfire, and followed the same
bright banner to the honor of their
common country. The Yankees of Mas
sachusetts, he added. had followed Lee
to victory.
EIGHTY YEARS AGO.
He had little to say about Odd Eel
lowship, he asserted. You have drunk
from its sources of inspiration, but on
these celebration nights it is due to
them and to YOU to say something Of
what 1t is. Eighty years ago tonight
five men gathered in Il back room in
Baltimore and laid the foundation OF
the order. Since then 100000 men had
been called into active Odd Fellow
ship. There must be great power in
that. he said; the organizer was not
an intellectual man, he was not n great
orator. and could not sway audiences,
but he was n great lover Of men.
FORWARD MOVEMENT.
All over the country to-day we are
making a forward movement, the
speaker said. we are going forward to
new and assured triumohs.
Dress your lines on the advancing
colors OF American Odd Fellowship"
In conclusion, Mr.. Pinkcrton again ex-
pressed his pleasure at being present,
and made missionary appeal on be-
half of the order. He also exhorted the
Richmond Odd Fellows to recommend
the order and teach its principles by
personal example. He paid high COM
pliment 10. the men who have repre-
scented Virginia in the national coun-
ellis of the order.
THE PROGRAM.
The following program was rendered.:
Quartette. The Bee and the Dove"
