CLUB AND FRATERNAL
 INTERESTS IN NORWICH.
From 80 to 90 Different Organizations Many Own Their Own Homes.

Club and fraternal society life has always played a prominent part in the activities of the citizens of Norwl h, who have shown especial interest in such organizations, and practically every fraternal order of any promin- ence is represented here, the total cietes and clubs. A considerable number of these own and occupy their own particular buildings.
 Of these, there is the beautiful Ma sonic temple. erected through the or ganZation of the Masonic temple cor poration and dedicated March 2T, 1894 It is the first Masonic temple in the world erected by masons for masonry and nothink but masonry, in which thirty two degrees of masonry are eX- emplified. Its various rooms have been been finely furnished and equipped by the York rite and the Scottish rite bodies, for the purposes of the order.

WILLIMANTIc CLUES INCREASING
 IN NUMBER AND VARIETY.
Large Membership in Fraternal So-
 cieties-Fine Quarters at the Arm

While Willimantic is not essential ly a club city it is becoming more so than many of her sister cites or equal size, and club life, in @ way, of men and boys, although lodges and varied fraternal orders are far more predominant and there are few men, indeed, who do not belong to at least one or more organizations.
 This does not signify, however, that Willimantic men and boys are not so- ciable, for on the contrary one would have to travel long way to find city where genuine goodfelloW- ship and cordiality prevails to any greater degree. A stranger comments upon the manifest congeniality and ex- presses wonder that such should be the case in a city peopled with so many nationalitieS.
 Societies there are, almost without number, comprising several branches of the different orders in many cases. There is hardly a society that has not a branch in the city or is not represent ed by members affiliated with an organ ization having a branch in a nearby city. That the advantages to be ob- tained as members of the various orders is appreciated is evidenced by the fact of the large membership ana fourishing condition of practically all organizations within the city of Willi- mantle.
 Among the clubs proper might be mentioned the Thread City Cyclers, the oldest. in all probability of them all. the WiIlimantic Gun Club, the Nipnet Canoe Club, the Automobile Club of Willimantic. the largest in this section of the state, the Willi- mantle Roque Club, the Willimantic Golf Club, the Grex Club and the Windham Athletic Club.

FLOURiSHING CLUBS
 IN EASTERN WINDHAM COUNTY.
' First Masonic Charter in the State
 Was Granted in kiIIinqly.

Perhaps no one social feature would be missed to such an extent in the towns of eastern Windham county should 1t be removed as would that supplied to the men of the communi- ties through the fraternal organiza- tions, the clubs and the numerous church societies that are in a great measure contributive during leisure hours to their enjoyment of life out side the home. Membership in some such organizations, of one kind or an- other, Is almost universal in this sec ton or the state, and it has been esti- mated that ninety out of every hun dred male members of the towns in the area indicated are affiliated with one or more societies or clubs.
 The beginning hereabouts of this phase of community life was back in the eighteenth century, when the Mas sonic fraternities entered a virgin field it being d matter of historic interest and pride to the members of this SO clety to be able to point out that the nrst charter to a Masonic organiza- ton in Connecticut was granted to Moriah lodge. No. 1, of KillingIv in September. 1790. This lodge is still Tn nourlsnlns condition and in the rooms, which occupy the whole of the th1rd floor of the Exchange block, in Danielson, may be seen the original charter, now yellow with age but with the inscription still legibIe. During the early part of the nineteenth century changes in the organization in the state resulted in change of that time receiving No. l5. which. it retains.
 From this first fraternaI lodge which included members from rnaoy towns. including the famous General israel Putnam, masonry has had

strong growth and now has lodges in Woodstock, Putnam, Thompson and other Windham county towns, with members high in the degrees of the order. At Putnam 8 temple has been erected on Grove street
 The records of later years contain mention of the introduction of about every fraternal order in the country into this section, all showing large memberships. The Grange, Patrons of prosperity during the past few years, as much for its integral value as for it's social features.
 Clubs for purely recreative pur- poses are newer thought in these towns, but none the less appealing to every class of men. Most of them have been organized during the past ten years. Among the most notable is the Bohemian club of DanielSon, It's hundred members including a ajori- ty of the professional manufacturing and business men of the town of Kill ingly. It has comfortably furnished rooms in the Franklin building where periodicals are provided and pro- vision made for an hour of clean, quiet amusement that has never fail ed to be appreciated. The club is strong financially. The Lafayette club also has a large membership, this or ganization made up of the French speaking young men of Danielson and Nlclully, DeluS IOcdIeu OH IHe tHIu floor of the Town Hall building. More than 100 men are members of the Danielson Firemen's association, which has very pleasant rooms on the second floor of the new central fire station, with many privileges for social en- tertainment.
 In Putnam the Arcanum club and the Elks' club divide the patronage of the business, and professional men and the manufacturers, but, as matter of fact, the majority of these hold fitted with careful consideration for the comfort of members, the Elks' rooms in the Bugbee building, where they have the whole upper floor, be- ing especially fine These rooms were opened about year ago. Putnam al- so has the well known Canadian Athletic club, which, as it's name i'm plies, has a large membership, par ticularly devoted to sports. They have a gymnasium upon Providence street that nightly attracts many and physical development from their affiliation with an organization that has turned out men that have won much local renown in the field of sports. The various fraterna1 organ izations have attractive quarters in which many members may be found on a winters night. The Gremen of Putnam, while in most instances members of other organizations, have many happy evenings together at fire headquarters, this being one of the most popular leisure hour resorts in the city.
 The clubs mentioned all enforce the temperance regulations within their rooms and rigidly.

 also enjoyed by members of Co. L, First Infantry, c. N. G., that has nice ly furnished quarters in the Armory, Garde Florimond, Francis s. Long Post, No. 30, G. A. R., A c. Tyler Camp, No 8, U. S.. w ", all oc- cupping as fine or better quarters in Grand Army Hall as any similar or ganization in the Commonwealth. The last named organization has shown ma terial growth within the past two years and is fast coming into prominence as a factor in all things.
 Club life will still further be fostered with the advent of a thoroughly modern and well appoint ed new Y. M. c. A. building for which a. fund of more than $43, 10000 was raised within a period of eight days during the past month. This mag nificent amount was the result of the concerted efforts of upwards of one hundred men in nearly every walk in life, and proves conclusively that Willimantic is a real live and pro- greSSiVe city
