 and all of the thirteen officers save two present.
 ] Morning session devoted to business and the entering of a large class closed
 as the invitation to dinner came, and
 as usual there was not lack in the
 menu. Tempting dishes on every hand
 were supplemented by the perfect serv- l ing rendered by the Orange brothers and sisters, and all went merry as a marriage bell
 Faces were all smiles, from good
 Chaplain Wooding to the most youthful and merry member. Dinner over, a brief session, like the recess at school, followed and again the masters gavel descended and all was order.
 The afternoon session was in the hands of the lecturer, Mrs c. A. D. Allen, of Wallingford, who offered the following programme:

 A song by the grange choir followed in which the members joined, and then came a charming recitation by Miss Cora Eaton, of Montowese, who is at home through vacation. Miss Eaton is under training in Boston, and as she is a natural elocutionist she cannot fail of success. This afternoon meeting was an open one, and the applause Miss Eaton received told truly how we'll she pleased the audience
 Next on the programme came an ex- tempore sermon by Mrs. c. c.

 Miss Flora Hough, of Wallingford, rendered piano solo, and then J. H. Hale gave forth some truisms concern ing daily living in his inimitable way, bringing down the house. MT Hale grows peaches and he is a peach him. self, to talk with the freedom and ear nestness which individualize him al- ways.
 Again a universal song and q second recitation by Miss Eaton, perfectly rem dered.

 Another song from the choir and . singers at large closed the programme; hen the excusing of outside friends md again Master R. o. Eaton assumed
