bers. From far more remote places VIII
come large delegations. Ell Paso, Texas, will
send a large and lusty throng. and from
Portland. Ore. there will be a large delega-
ton, as that Pacific coast city has long as
pired to entertain the Grand Lodge and may
bid for the 1903 reunion. Again quoting from
the Record. as many Of the strongest and

month, and the lodges of Colorado are al
ready preparing boost for that state,
which will eliminate next year in this city.
The cooperation OF all Of Colorado is
being solicited to make the plan the great
est thing of the kind ever attempted. Sew
eral special trains are to be chartered to
bring east Elks from Denver and the state.
A marching club of 400 members from the
Denver lodge is being organized to compete
for the prizes in the great parade which
marks all Elk conventions. 1t is expected
that hundreds of others will go, however.
SO that the Denver contingent will be one
Of the largest at the convention.
The lodge plans to have whole string of
noats depicting mining and western scenes.
AS soon as Philadelphia is reached the floats
which will appear in the parade will be
placed on exhibition as a sort of school for
the fasteners. All the various commercial
and business organizations Of Denver will
be asked to assist in the movement and con-
tribute In any way they can to make 1t at
tractive. The business organizations of the
various towns throughout the state will be
asked to lend their assistance and con-
tribute exhibits from their respective cities
and districts.
ut is planned to have the float exhibit
rf0nS industries state
especial attention being paid to the mining,
and 1t will be the largest exhibit of the kind
ever sent out of Colorado, excepting, per-
haps, those placed at the great expositions."
