TSORer. hu. HoDerCS made moGlon that the third degree bO conferred on Sam. Eddy. but Chancellor of the Exchecquer Whitford objected on the grounds. first that the gentleman is living in New Haven; second, that ne was Mclean man, and third, that he has already taken the entire fifteen degrees and paid his dues up to 1912. The motion was withdrawn.
 Citizen Hitchcock proposed the name of President Mellen for honorary mem- bership. Hen. Roraback moved an amendment substituting the name of Col. Bob. Eaton, on the ground that the Mellen nomination apparently bore the earmarks of the Consolidated Railroad. The amendment was stabled, the original motion carried aud the nomination re- ferred to the committee on moral char acter. The Eaton nomination was then brought forward again and permission given to post it on the bulletin. It will be acted upon at the next meeting.
 The member from Wilcox offered resolution that a committee be appointed to cooperate with Representative Ben jamin, of Falls Village. to bring about his plan to unite the two towns into one Greater Canaan, as it was in the begin ming. "This would not only increase our population by something less than thousand" " said Wilcox, but it would IN,lyN %n1 list, besides making us fellow citizens with Pope Chapman and Ike Hornbeck, and giving us a deputy sheriff. The plan is worthy of our profoundest oogi- tation." Referred to the committee on profoundest cogitation.
 The fat member got up and stated that his wife wanted him to find out how many more applications had been re- ceived for charter membership in the Wurra Wurra Woman's Relief Corps, and when the Corps would be instituted. The secretary stated that one more school-ma am and one more scattering" had applied, making 49 ladies in all, or only one short of the 50 required to in- stitute the Corps, Hartman said he'd fill out the fiftieth application, himself, just to get the Corps started. Ed. War ner offered to pay handsome premium for an application blank. Ford offered twice what Warner bid, and Freeman asked the secretary to put him down for 8 chance. The bidding was interrupted by the fat member, who shouted:
 "Mister Sec'tary, want you . scratch my wife's name right off firm that list right straight off al'ays said" but at this point the Wurra Wurra Glee Club struck up a hymn composed by Fred Collin for the bridge celebration, and drowned out the whole proceedings.
 After it was ended the committee on moral character reported favorably on the nomination of George Dunning for honorary membership, and he was voted in.
 The member from Henives moved that the Club confirm President Lyles's com m1ttee appointments for the Board of Trades annual banquet, Messrs. Bullock, Hardenbergh and Gillette.
