MORE GATHERING.

Richmond Eagles are looking for-
ward to the annual meeting OF the
Grand Aerie of Eagles. which Will be-
held In Baltimore in August. Local
interest is intensified to a large ex-
tent because of the fact that Dixie
Aerie has d member of the Grand
Aerie. in the person of Grand Worthy
Chaplain Edward r. Fuller.
Mr. Fuller's friends hope 10 secure
some promotion for him in the Grand
Aerie. and IT is likely that the state
of Virginia will send several hundred
boosters for Mr. Fuller.
While there has been no movement
for the meeting OF the Eagles here
next year. It Is possible that such a
movement may be started at the Bal
timore meeting. The excuse hereto
fore was that the hotel accommoda-
tons here were not sufficient. That
excuse will not prevail next year for
then the new Murphy and the
RueSer hotels, besides several large
apartment or semi-hotei buildings,
