From time to time il has been the
pleasure of The Bulletin to chronicle
scme extraordinary concentrations in
its columns. Some splendid meetings
have been held at Nashville Chicago
St Louis, Kansas City. down in Tex
a. ana at the various annual meet
ings tor the past eight or ten years
For long time Cairo held a justly de
served reputation of holding the best
considerations anywhere in the cen
trail west. \ good many features Of
the work and entertainment which
are now widely used throughout Hoo
Hoo land originated at Cairo, and
certain arrangement of the gardens
for instance, has come to be known
under the name of Cairo Gardens"
Some of these considerations have
been remarkable, among other things
for the number of visitors present
from a distance At Cairo and St
Louis on several occasions concatena.
lions have been held with visiting
members present from half dozen
states, with a whole bunch of viceger.
nts present, ana with several mem
oers of the Supreme Nine 10 give add
q dignity TO the occasion
All of which leads up to the remark
hat for the past five years a series Of
concentrations. one each year have
been held at Paducah. Ky, all Of
which have been truly notable-not
lble for the number and character Of
he men initiated, for the thorough
ness and smoothneSs with which the
mysteries have been transmitted, for
he elegance aud enioyableness Of the
rather elaborate banquets that have
olowed the concatenations-bu not
able principally Tor the singular alb.
ience of members of the Suprefe
Nine, and Of visitors from a distance
The Paducah people have thought iii
little strange that their splendid
'oncatenations have not been more
argeiy attended by men from a dis.
ance. They have not particularly
Worried about this, however being
Ontent to go ahead and have Il glori
rus time among themselves. 1t is 4
act. we believe that none of the an.
anal considerations at Paducah have
yer been attended by more than one
member of the Supreme Nine.
The last concentration to be held
At Paducah occurred March 10. This
vas by far the best concentration
ayer held in Paducah When this has
psen said 1t renders the other state
nent an easy one to make--that It
vas one OF the best concentrations
gyer held anywhere since Hoo-Hoo
vas established
Bro Max Sondheimer handled the
unior work in his own unique and eff
sectiye style Max has worked al
many considerations and his work Is
always pre-eminently good. II H.

axe part in the affair and he evinced
Ms great interest by transmitting
lver the long distance telephone /

arried out by the local organization (

he initiatory ceremonies of this con /
