 unusually large gatherings.
 The lodge room is fitted out with
 mahogany furniture with mahogany desks for. the secretary and treasurer at either side of the grand knights station at the Franklin street end of the room. The chairs are cane seated
 and of a particularly attractive pat
 tern.

 fitted out with one curly birch pool
 table, and the reading room. which is 32N30, has oak furniture consisting of round center table. card tables. sec tional bookcase, and art rug under the icenter table. All the furniture and fix lures in the rooms is new and was secured through Shea S- Burke. AT il. Hourigan, and The Porteous & Mitchell leo
 The walls are tinted in an agree able shade of green and there are hardwood floors throughout. Off the pool room arc q coat room and a wash room. both of good size and supplied with suitable fixtures. White Cross council.
