SHRINERS BROKE
The N. D. RECORD
BEST ATTENDED CEREMONIAL
SESSION EVER HELD IN THE
STATE, AT MASONIC TEMPLE
LAST NIGHT-FoRTY cANDI.
DATES TRoD SANDS,

1t was an evening full OF incident
that all present at the great gathering
of the Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine at
Ell zagal temple last night will re-
member. There were over 400 .Shriners
in attendance and it was one OF the
greatest gatherings of it's kind ever
held in the history of order in this
state.
In the neighborhood of forty candi-
dates went through the mysterious or
deals of the evening and came out full
fedged Arabs of the desert after
tramping over the vast sands of the
Sahara, across the land of the pyra-
mids and learned the secret of the
sphynx. But they all felt, mo matter
how much exhaustion was suffered,
h a the trip was really worth the
trouble after it was all over, for the
after delights Of the evening and the
welcoming into the greatest mirthmak-
ing brotherhood in the world indeed
repaid for much of their anxieties and
other discomforts which were expert
enced during the earlier part OF the
evening.
Potentate e. Y. Sarles of HilIsboro,
former governor of North Dakota, pre-
sided over the meeting with great dig
nifty and dispensed the features and
pleasures of the evening with much
consideration and at the same time i'm
partially to all. The degree team of
FL Zagal temple has been most highly
complimented on the able manner in
which the honors of the evening were
dispensed. 1t is said the team never
appeared to greater advantage than it
did las night and the Arab patrol gave
a splendid exhibition of it's art in drill
ing.
Following the ceremonial and the
ritualistic programme of the evening,
there was a most enjoyable social hour,
during which an elaborate supper was
served, followed by a vaudeville show.
The ceremonial last night was one
Of the most successful that has ever
been held at Ell Zagal temple and every
one attending and in connection with
the arrangements have expressed great
satisfaction at the manner in which
everything went OH.
