IL HORSEMEN
GET LODGE
AND ELKDOM

II has been many moons since
Detroiters have shown quite the
interest in a social or fraternal
event as is being shown in the in
auguration OF the IL Horsemen
Club into Elkdom.
Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley
Wilson has announced the revival
OF the old Cadillac Lodge OF Ham
tramck by the IL Horsemen club,
but the name will no longer be
Cadillac Lodge. II will be the IL
Horsemen's Lodge and the auxil-
larry temple will be known as the
Lady Camille Temple.
On Easter Monday evening. April
26. the Grand Exalted Ruler and
other Grand Lodge officers will
come here for the purpose OF max
ing the reinstatement and on that
evening the event will be celebrat-
ed with an Inaugural Ball at the
Mirror Ballroom, 294O Woodward
avenue. Needless to say, the In
augural Ball will be attended not
only by Elks but BY Motor City
pleasure-seekers generally. Friends
and visitors from all parts OF the
state will be in attendance and It's
logical to suppose that this social
and fraternal event will surpass
anything OF its kind ever held In
the Motor City. Pleasure seekers
recall the splendid dance given by
other local lodges at the same place
on George Washington's Birthday,
which almost everyone who attend
ed considered one OF the finest
dancing parties to be held here in
the last decade.
Music then was furnished by the
popular Jimmy Davenports or
chestra. which also will furnish
music for the Inaugural Ball, Eas-
ter Monday night.
II will be informal.
