eighteen applications in his tent since the
introduction-the first of October-of the
new method of producing business In the

Springman is q hustler. and when he I'M
dertakes to do a thing he does II.
Mount Vernon Tent up to date have
put in this month ten new members;
Brightwood Tent, No. 5. has put In nve
new members and National Tent, No. ].

Brightwood Tent, No. 5. has a degree
team that has been working for years In
the exemplification of the degrees. and is
under the leadership of Mr.. Ernest w.
Shoots, the commander OF the tent, who
takes great pride in the fine drills that
his soldierboys are able to put on in the
degree work. Mr.. E. W. Ayers is the
king in the play. and does his work In
the most emphatic manner. which makes
this very great attraction to the meet
ings.
Anacostia Tent, No. I, is the first tent
to make a fairly good showing. the first
month OF the operation of the new plans
having put In three new members during
October, but this month Mount Vernon

special attention to the practice necessary
to the high standard to which they
aspire. and with the candidates to put
plenty of real practice, which is very
essential. Mr.. W. w. Adamson, jr.. the
captain of the degree team. with his
able assistant, Mr.. J. NJ. Foster. are
giving much thought to the perfecting
of the drills and the actual performance.
according to the rules laid down In the
ritual.
Mr.. W. F. Mccarthy. the king in the
degree work in National tent, No. ]. is
so situated in his business relations that
he cannot at all times be depended upon
present. he brings charm to the en-
tertainment given in the fine exhibition
that he. with his degree team give. Mr..
Shambaught who has been taking part
in the degree work from time i'm
memorial has become an under study
and will soon be able 20 assume the
duties of Mr.. Mccarthy, in his absense.
This degree team, for several months,
mas been striving to again assume the
place IT formerly took in the exemplifica-
ton of the rituslistic work in this city.
