 Meeting.

Frank 10. Herring, the brilliant and energetic supreme head of the Fra ternal Order of Eagles, it's grand worthy president. will be honored to- night by Bridgeport aerie whose guest he will be for the opening. No event in Eagledom during the ad- ministration of Worthy President George P. Jamieson, has aroused half the interest or enthusiasm as has the entertained first at dinner in The Stratfeld and later publicly in Eagles hall.
 It is expected that 1000 members, practically the entire membership of the local aerie, will march in the street parade, to act as escort to the visitor. There will be delegations here from most of the aeries about the state and all of the state officers are expected. The full Wheeler 6 Wilson band will head the procession followed by carriages for the visiting officers. Grand Marshal Donnelly de- sired all of his aides and the mem bers to be prepared to start from Eagles hall tonight promptly at 7:30 in order that the parade can be held and permit the exercises in the hall to open as soon after 8 o'clock as possible.
 John J. Doyle, chairman of the re- freshment and lunch committee, said today that an elaborate lunch will be served and his committed is pre-
 
 1000 cards of admission have been distributed and as this is the first time that the local aerie has held an open session and invited it's friends to join in the pleasures of the evening an exceptionally large attendance is expected. The Eagles are proud to come and hear him speak.
 The F'raterna1 Order of Eagles was founded upon the basic principles of those four great virtues, Liberty, Truth, Equality and Justice and aside dispenses benevolence in no small measure. Thousands of dollars are paid out every year in sick and death benefits besides free medical attend the orphans of mem berS always come under the watchful eyes of the aerie, which in it's eight years of existence in Bridgeport has been a big factor in practical and unostentatious bene- violence. Numbered among it's LIDO members are men in all walks of usual. Today the aerie owns free and clear it's hall on Madison avenue. 7 So many desirable candidates have expressed a desire to become mem bers of the order that the executive committee has decided to hold a, big class initiation during the first week in June, upon the eighth anniversary of the institution of the aerie, which is to be celebrated at the same time. This joint event promises to be a big time and it is being looked forward now using a new ritual. which is beautiful and impressive, from which all of that sort of degree work some times characterized as morse play,' as been excluded.
 Worthy President George P. Jamieson is working assiduousIy to make record as chief executive of the local aerie and the entire mem bership is with him in that desire The aerie has many interesting plans for the future and its success, un- abated from the start, is increasing constantly.

all is realized when Shackleton tells of eating their dead ponies and never having a square meal for three months.
 Sir Ernest and his comrades discov- cred much new land near the pole and despite all their hardships managed to bring back all sorts of specimens of hitherto unknown flora and fauna. One of the picture slides shows the which survived several months frnpri- sonnent in polar ice and was still frisky when plunged into water at nearly the boiling point. A subse- quent freezing did not even loosen the hold of the ttrotifer'' on life and Sir Ernest declares that the scientists on the expedition used to stay up nights thinking up new stunts for the .tro- tifer.'' Sir Ernest Shackleton comes to the United States under the man agernent of the Civic Forum and is giving only limited number of lec- lures during the month of April. This will be his only lecture in Bridgeport.
 Some of the pictures show. the diff cu1tfes of climbing the great Mount shows the mountain in state of eruption and another gives a view of the explorers standing on the sum These pictures show as nothing else,. could, the wonderful deso1ate beauty of these hitherto untrodden polar risked his life over and over again and Sir Ernest in his simple and sim cere way gives due credit to all of his comrades especially to their ready CO., operation in every plan put forth to gain a few miles toward the pole.
 In the Antarctic regions they came across great colonies Of those queer birds the penguins These birds stand quaint black and white p1umage look very much like human beings clad in Judicial robes. One picture shows two young penguins looking very much crestfallen as they are brought up be- fore their parents for discipline for some youthful indiscretion. The moth were and Sir Ernest points out that the father in the background looks slightly sympathetic having been young himself once.'
 Perhaps the most interesting pie lures are those shoWing how the ac- tual march went on fEom day to day and how the camps were made. When one of the ponies was lost down crevasse, the explorers were thankful that his driver escaped even though they had to distribute all the luggage that had been on the sledge and thus add greatly to their burdens. The discovery of the South Magnetic Pole meant a march inland attended with incredible hardships and then the ex- plorers were picked up by the NImrod by a bare chance.
 Another time when three of them camped on sea ice they awoke to find themselves drifting out to sea on a cake of ice. They drifted for two days and almost by miracle were picked up by the Nirnrod which went in search of them
 But one has to hear the lecture to get the real flavor of adventure and not the least of it is to reflect that the man who is telling the story with such simplicity and modesty is the one who actually led this great expe- dition and suffered all these hardships. Sir Ernest puts his whole soul into his story of this dash for the South Pole and holds his audience enthra1led by the recital. It is one of the most re- markable lectures ever given in this country.
