HISTORY OF
THE LODGE
Of ELKS

Born of a rollicking crew of jewellers
whose number included but a portion of
the theatrical people of New York
City, the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks since its inception about
the middle of the nineteenth century,
has grown to one of the most popular,
influential and fourishing organizations
in the United States, and today stands
amongst the foremost fraternities as
an order for the well-being of every
man, woman and child, and with an en-
rollment of considerably over 100000.
Though in its early days the body
from which grew the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks was but the
gathering of a happy-go-lucky throng
of theatrical stars, actors of all grades,
t~ragedians, comedians and others from
the highest to the lowest, with circus
men and minstrels adding to the mum
Der, it is at the present time made up
of men of all professions and trades,
from the humblest to the highest.
The Jolly Corks."
The date of the formation of the
body known as the "Jolly Corks' was
lost in the record Of the momentous
events which happened during the mid
die of the nineteenth cntury, but had it
been known at that time that from
this humble origin. one of the most in
iuential orders in the United tSates was
to grow, some effort would have been
made to fix the time. Long before the
civil war New York City was the meet
ing place of actors from the Shakespear-
can tragedian to the lowest simperer in
comedy, who met and over flowing wine
recounted their adventures, each vieing
with the other in an effort to make his
story the most humorous.
At this time Charles Algernon Vixian
Sydney, an actor, and the son of an
English clergyman, kept open house in
his apartments, where his friends met
at week-ends for a days c~onviviality
and good cheer. Just as any other or
der, the "Jolly Corks'' had their char
ter, pioneer and new members, and no
fees or dues being required, something
else was invented as a substitution. This
ceremony took the form of the custo-
mary initiation, and from it grew the
name of the "Jolly Corks.'
Seated about a table, the candidate
and the members each were supplied
with corks, with the instruction that
upon a certain signal they were to
throw their corks to the floor, the last
cork to reach the floor thereby to impose
a fine upon the unfortunate owner of
a treat to the entire crowd. The can
didate always awaited the signal Gag
erly, and threw his cork Immediately.
The others, however, held their corks in
their hands, thus making the candi-
dates cork the first as well as the last
to reach the floor.
