An interesting account of the closing

100 oompatriots and guests present
representing every part of the United

applied for membership. / would sug-
gest that special efforts should be made
to interest them I'm the objects of our
society, and that circulars be sent out
fromtime to time, containing news of
special interest to members of the So
ciety.
