homa City. Okla. for their headquar-
ters on August Il, % and 3d.
For the latter convention special
train, carrying the New York and New
Jersey delegations, will leave New
York probably on Thursday. August
16, reaching Oklahoma City on Sun
day morning, August 20. 1t is not un
likely that the Connecticut delegation
viii join the Now York and New Jer-
sey group on the special train. The
Connecticut delegates, elected at the
recent department encampment at
New London include the following
from this end of the state: C. A. Hag-s
berg of Norwich, H. A. Dorsey, of
mantle, A. D, MacIntyre. of Putnam.
The Notwithstanding include w. r.
Harrington, of Willimantic and John J.
Lawless of New London.
Former Commander in Chief Charles
w. Newton, of Hartford will be at
the convention. holding a seat because
of his having held the national office.
The present ommander-in-chief is
Joseph r. III. Jacoby. of Seattle. who
was recently appointed United States
marshal for the western district of
Washington.
Spanish War veterans voted to hold
the 1908 session at Oklahoma City but
the camp at that place was unable to
secure the necessary guarantees or
railroad rates, and SO the convention
went to Cedar Point, O.. in that year.
Since that time Oklahoma City. camp
has renewed its applications for the
convention and at last years meetings
in Denver; Col, it was voted to hold
the 1911 encampment in Oklahoma
City. There are now 725 camps in the
country and, despite the fact that Ok
lahoma City is rather out of the way,
it is expected that a large majority OF
the canDS will he renraSentPd
Next years encampnent of the
Spanish War veterans will in all
likelihood go to Atlantic City, n. J.,
as the west has had the conventions
for the past three years, and a move
ment is on foot to give the East
chow Just what the Oklahoma
City camp can give the delegates in
the way of entertainment is an I'M
known quantity. Atlantic City's of
ferings in this line. however, are too
well known to require mention here.
ODD FELLOWS.
In Uncas and Shetucket lodges this
week there were good summer at
tendances and though no work is be-
ing done during the hot weather there
are a number of candidates on the
waiting list and after September l.
there will be plenty of degree work
both lodges working together, one TAX
second.
Just now Odd Fellows are looking
forward to the outing of the home in
Groton on August 5. and it is the gen.
eral opinion that this date will prove
more Satisfa Glory to the majority OF
the Three Linkers than has Labor day
in past years. From Hartford there
is to be an excursion of 500 and as
usual Norwich ODD Fellows will have
a good representation.
The annual summer outing of the
I. O. o. F. Veteran association of Con-
necticut. which was to have been held
at Port Jefferson. Long Island, Tues
day, came to grief outside of the
breakwaters at New Haven. Nearly
100 members Of the association, rep
resenting various towns Throughout,
the state, took the steamer Elm City
from New Haven for Port Jefferson
When the steamer had proceeded just
outside of the breakwaters, the gen.
orator of the engine failed to work.
A hurried consultation was held or
board the steamer, and it was decided
to hail passing tug, which landed
the excursionists at Lighthouse Point
U pom the arrival there the committee
of arrangements held an interview
with the manager of the Lighthouse
Poine hotel, who had dinner prepared
for the party.
This mishap did away with the pre-
arranged programme OF going to POrl
Jefferson and there meeting the Port
Jefferson lodge and it also prevented
the athletic events. The eXcursionists
enjoyed themselves at the Point until
p. M, when they returned to theiI
homes. The committee of arrange
ments consisted of Leopold DeLeeuw
| of Hartford. 7. D. l.. Manville, of An
| sonia and George B. Hoggson, Henry
| Hillman and William S. Hutchinson, OF
| New Haven

An outing to be held sometime il
| August is the big thing that Norwich
