FOR BAND CONTEST.

subordinate lodges represented at
the Salt Lake grand lodge from be-
yond the shores of this country. Whe-'
the United States extended its pos
sessions beyond the Pacific coast far
out into the ocean, the order followed
the flag. There are now three lodges
in the Paeific-two in the Sandwich ISL
andS and one in the Philippines
The largest of the trio is in Homo
lulu, island of oahu. The second is in
Hiio, island of Hawaii, of the same
group. The third. the youngest of the
three, is in Manila The Honolulu
lodge is probably the richest in the
order. ]. CT Anderson, jr., of SSs
Brigham street. who has recently re-
turned from that city, said yesterday
afternoon that when he left the ISL
ands. fifty OF the members of that
lodge had subscribed to the list to at
tend the Salt Lake grand lodge, and
were hoping TO increase the delega-
ton to 100 by the time the hour for
embarking arrived While on the ISL
ands Mr.. Anderson said the Oahu lodge
was organized Its members will un-
doubtedly send a delegation, not 10 be
outdone by the Honolulu lodge
A letter received some days ago
from a member of No. IS, who is in
the army at Manila, said lodge was
about to be instituted in that city,
with a charter membership of go. The
former Salt Lake boy will probably
see to it that the lodge is likewise
represented in August
Many of the richest planters in Hon
olulu are members of that lodge. They
not only own their own lodge build
ing. but are enlarging it by the cree
ton of an addition, which VIII be used
as a club.
