The Pythian Grand Lodge is composed of
five representatives elected by each subordi-
nate lodge from its past chancellors, only
those who have attained that rank being
oil orh nta
tives But as each lodge has number of
past chancellors far in excess of the repre-
sentatives allotted it, there are not enough
seats in the Grand Lodge to "go around;
and five of the past chancellors are made
active and voting members of the Grand
Lodge, in which all past chancellors hold
membership. The new Grand Lodge will
have ninety active members instead of.
nirietyfve, which was the active member
ship of the Grand Lodge last year. The re-
duction is caused by the consolidation of
Superior. No p, and Justus H. Rathbone'
No: 30, which diminished the total repre-
sensation in the Grand Lodge by five. One
past supreme chancellor, Edward Dunn,
and eight past grand chancellors hold seats
by election in the new Grand Lodge. The
returns of Representatives from all the
subordinate lodges have been received by
Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Henry j.
Gasson, and are furnished by him, as fol-
lows:
