 sons Thsatre- Judge W. J. Malone a to Deliver Grafton.

Next Sunday evening, Dec. 5th, at Jackson,s theatre, the Bridgeport Lodge of Elks will observe with be- fitting ceremonies, the Lodge of Sor- TOW.
 This beautiful custom has been ex- emplified by Elkdom practically since the foundation of the Order, as the manner in which the. order comnlem- crates the memories of its departed members. Wherever a Lodge of Elks is located, this custom is observed on the first Sunday in December of each year.
 Bridgeport Lodge had intended. pri- marily to hold the services this year at its beautiful lodge rooms at the Club Home on State Street The Me morial Committee. after looking into the matter most carefully, decided that in view of the large membership of the lodge, it would be impossible to ac- commodate the members and their friends Therefore Jackson's Theatre was engaged.
 The Memorial Committee comprising Archibald McNeil. Jr.. Chairman Thos. J. Cunningham, Ebert O. Hull. John J. Nevins and Isaac Moss. have pre- pared a program which will compare favorably with any that has preceded them.
 The oration will be delivered by Hon. William J. Malone, a member of Bris- tol. (Conn-) Lodge and known through out New England as an eloquent ora tor. The committee has been very fortunate in obtaining the services of Judge Malone as a number of other lodges in the East had relied upon securing him.
 The distribution of tickets has been going on for the past fortnight under the direction of the committee. Those members of Bridgeport Lodge who have not yet obtained their tickets may do so at the meeting of the lodge this evening: or at the coal offices of The A.
