city In Michigan opened the sixty-sixth
annual session OF the grand encamp-
ment. and the twenty-fourth annual
Department Council Of the Patriarchs
Militant OF Michigan at sauh Ste. Ma.
1t Is the largest encampment ever
held In the history Of the order, with
close to 800 delegates present.
This is the first time the Oldest city
In the state has ever entertained a
state convention of Odd Fellows. Many
OF the visitors had never been in the
north country, and the ideal weather
conditions today gave the guests an
excellent opportunity to visit the gov.
eminent canals, and other points OF
historical interest.
Easily the features Of the first days
session were the comforting Of the
Patriarchal degree by Detroit encamp.
ment No. /. and the miners drill by
the Calumet camp. A picked team OF
80 from the Detroit canton presented
a fine appearance at the national
guard armory.
The appearance of the Calumet
team In miners dress was the occa-
sion for another burst Of enthusiasm.
The lights of the principal streets
were dimmed. and the flaming torches
on the miners caps formed the only
Illumination as the 100 men paraded.
The highest ONCE in the state or.
ganization will go to City Clerk Rich.
ard Lindsay, Of Detroit Lindsay will
be chosen grand patriarch to succeed
Thomas Conlin, OF Crystal Falls. Lind
say is grand high priest.
It seems the consensus of opinion
that John r. Penfeld, OF vicksburg.
grand scribe. who has held that office
for years, will be reelected without
opposition. The same condition ap-
plies to Andrew Harshaw, of Delray.
who has been grand treasurer for rs
years.
Jackson and Owosso are having
pretty battle for the 1915 encampment.
Detroit's large delegation appears
to be the pivot Of the sessions.
Tuesday win be busy day for the
delegates. At o'clock In the morn
ing, there will be public reception.
The grand encampment will then go
into session. At 2 o'clock the grand
military parade of the cantons OF de-
partment Of Michigan will take place.
