FcderaI city Lodge, No. 20.

The prize banner for subordinate lodge
degree work has been held by Federal
City Lodge. No. 20, for the past two years,
and its veteran degree staf again entered
the arena for its retention in the recent
contest for degree supremacy. This lodge
has won more prizes for degree exhibit
lions than any other in this jurisdiction
or in this part Of the country. It re-
ceived first prize for the first degree at
each Of the Sovereign Grand Lodge ses-
sions. held in Richmond, 1900; Baltimore
1903; Philadelphia, 1868. and without re-
hearsaI Immediately eXemplified the sec
0ud degree at the last-named session. and
won the third prize also; and notwith-
standing the fact that this lodge made
the highest percentage ever recorded in
Sovereign Grand Lodge competition
81. SG5-the degree staff Of Eastern Lodge,
No. Z. boldly entered the neld for the con-
quest of the coveted banner and though
il went down before its more experienced
competitor. it revealed many beauties Of
the initiatory degree that other lodges
may well emulate, the music Of the choir
being, without doubt, the best ever heard
iu this jurisdiction.
The occasion of the local awards was
one of enthusiastic gOod-fellGwship. as
Dorcas Rebekah Lodge surrendered the
banner which it had held two years, and
Federal City Lodge in like manner sur
rendered the banner which had been
twice before successfully defended to the
grand master, who officially awarded the
one to Ruth Rebekah Lodge and the
other back 20 Federal City Lodge FOR It's

Odd Fellows Award Prizes

FRIENDLY RIVALRY SHOWN
Federal City Lodge. No. 30, and Ruth
RebeESah Lodge, No. ?, Carry on
the Honors After Spirited Contests.
Large Crowd Witnesses Exercises
and Awards to Competitors.

The Odd Fellows Of this jurisdiction
have been much interested in the very
spirited contest for the Grand Lodge
prize banners for proficiency in subordi-
nate and Rebekah lodge degree work
which came to q close a few nights ago
and the banners were awarded to the sue
cessful contestants by Grand Master A.
r. Vermillion in the presence Of an i'm
mense throng Of local and visiting MEM
bers of the order
II was a function Of more than ordinary
interest, for the reason that Ruth Re-
bekah Lodge. No. >, now holds the cham
pionship of the United States and Canada
by virtue Of its achievement in degree
work before the Sovereign Grand Lodge
at its session held in Toronto last Sep
TENDER; and another contestant in the re-
cent local contest was Dorcas Rebekdh
Lodge, No. 4, which was awarded the Re
bekah prize banner one year ago after a
battle royal with Ruth Lodge; and the
third aspirant for the banner was Esther
Rebekah Lodge, No. 8. which is in the
second year Of its existence-the youngest
lodge in this jurisdiction.
The eEemplicatlOn OF the ReDekah de-
gree by all these lodges was of the high
est character. each one having some dis
tinctve features that exceeded the others,
which frequently elected spontaneous out
bursts of applause from the large audi
ences in attendance that could scarcely be
restrained by the presiding officers gavel

the summer season OF 1897 among the resort re-

agreed upon from one end OF the Great North

Over the whole of the Adirondack region there

thing. but which If allowed to get away and run

Everywhere men are improving the condition of
things Additions being built TO hotels the
few Adirondack villages being improved the
lakes are being improved, the walks and drives
being improved. Even the mountainsides are
being brushed up a bit that they may meet with
the favor Of the critical eye of the summer bOarder
There is something be thankful for. say those
who love the AdiTOndacks God made them, in
that Il Is beyond the power of man materially to
change the beautiful scenery Of this region or to
improve upon the Dalsam scented breeZes waited
down from its forest clad mountainsdes. There is
also a grain Of satisfaction in the knowledge that
art man possesses can improve upon the glorf-
colorings Of the Adirondack sky at sunrise and
