Ladies nnd Gentlemen, Members and friends of our fraternity It Is my privi lege and pleasant duty, aa noble grand el Monterey ledge, te bid you welcome te this our 40th anniversary aud tbe 63th anniversary of the founding of Odd Fellowship in America. It la net tbe length of year that causes us te rejoice no much as tbe prosperity and success we have been permitted te enjoy In the days gene by ; and I am persuaded tbat these who are net or ua have naught aave words or geed cheer te ua In celebrating our fortieth year. But few of the members who, In the year 1R47, organized thla ledge and named It Monterey commemorative of a victory achieved by Americana en the battle-field In Mexico, are wltb ua today ; yet the aame pirlt and interest that brought It Inte ex la tenee has been characteristic of its member ablp,and It new has tewteequal Itlu numbers and none, we believe, te excel It in devotion te duty. Yeu will bear from ethers a history of this ledge and the principles of tbe order fully ex plained, and I trust tbat at the conclusion of these addresses every Odd Fellow will re solve te be a better Old Fellow and bind himself cle.er te tbe grand motto of tbe order, "Friendship. Leve and Truth." And these who de net affiliate with uc, but regard much of our work with "holy horror" be cause It Is done In secret, may they bs con vinced tbat the principles we profess de net conflict with our social, political or religious convictions, as many et them are taught te believe, but en tbe contrary are worthy the admiration and esteem of all geed and God Ged fearing men and women. And new te this large assembly of friends I but speak tbe sentiments et each and every member of Monterey Ledge in saying Welcome." Mr. Shelly, who was tbe chairman of the evening, then introduced Misses Leila Baer and Mary Sener and Messrs. A. Kelb and Ueerge II. Hambrlght, who sang a composi tion exceedingly rich In melody entitled " Sunrise." Liberal applausecrewned their effort, and tbe auditors at once began te real ize tbat there was a musical feast In the re mainder of the pregramme. Misses Bter and Sener were In ouellont voice. The orchestra then rendered " The Mill in the Ferest," alter which the historical address waa delivered by District Deputy Urand Master K. J. Krlsman. The following la an abstract of hla remark. THE HISTORICAL ADDRESS, District Deputy Urand Master B. J. Kria man upon being introduced aald that It waa unnecessary te explain tbe meaning et Odd Fellowship te the audience, composed as It waa se largely of member of that order. Te these who are net living within the myatle circle he reminded tbat a man te be a true OJd Fellow must be grateful te bis Creater, faithful te his country aud fraternal te hi fellowmen. " We meet te-night, " he entlnued, "for a double purpose te commemorate two Im portant events. These are the sixty -eighth anniversary of the blrtb of American OJd Fellowship, and tbe fortieth or Monterey ledge Ne. 212 ; their histories begin en the- 2)th and 30th el April, buttbls evening was chosen In tbe hope tbat Past Uiand Sire James B. Niobelson, of Philadelphia, might be with us a hope wbicu 1 regret cannot be fulfilled. "Forty year age Ueorge M, Kline, D. B. Vendersmltb, Charles M. Hewell, Charles Boughter, Jehn Leenard, Walter U. Evans, Dr. Alexander Carpenter, O. M. Zabm and Francla Hhreder petitioned tbe Urand Ledge of Pennsylvania ler a charter te organize an other ledge et Odd Fellows in thla city. Tbe charter waa granted en the l'Jthef April, 1817, It new became necessary te adept a name, Let me tell you bow Monterey came te be se named. Tbe first meeting were held In Tem perance ball, Eaat Orange atreet, during the war with Mexico. Meeting after meeting passed without the founders being able te de termine upon a name. One afternoon while holding a preliminary gathering newa reached the city of the surrender of tbe city of Mon terey te Ueneral Tayler. Soen tbe streets were crowded with excited people and tbe victory finally reached tbe ears of tbe little party In Temperance hall. Instantly Majer Charlea M. Hewell sprang te bis feet and exclaimed, wby net fill It Monterey ?' Monterey! Monterey! Monterey !' shouted tbe group, and Monterey It was and is. On tbe 30th of April, 1847, the ledge waa regularly instituted In Temperance ball by District Deputy Urand Maater J. L. Thompson, who was atalated by Past Grands; Kethermel, Pbllnv, McClure, M. .thin and Meeser. Tbe first elllcera were Ueerge M. Kline, noble grand ; D. B. Vnnderamith, vice grand ; Charlea M. Hewell, secretary ; Jehn Leenard, assistant secretary ; W. G. Evans treasurer." Tbe apeaker adverted te tbe fact tbat no ap peal ter a worthy cause ha ever been made in vain ; Monterey haa been loyal and alwaya practised tbe teachings et the order. When Chicago and Milten were devastated by llames, It waa among the first te respond te tbe call for aid. During tbe rebellion tbeae et the members who were called te service received its consideration ; resolutions were passed allowing their families the aame as waa given te these of deceased members. HTATISTU'H Of MONTEREY. "The membership of the ledge one year alter its organization wa 70 ; assets, $714.15 ; amount of relief granted, $28. Tbe figures for tbe lour decades since are, from 1817 te 1857, membership, 149, amount of relief granted, f2.305.18 ; from 1857 te 1807, mem bership, 330, relief, 17,202.73 ; from 1S07 te 1877, membership, 349, relief, (25,377.45 ; trout 1877 te 1887, membership, Silt, relief, f 28,905 82.

Fer some time Mr. Frey had been appearing at Mr. McLaughtln'a rooms In Philadelphia, meeting all comers. Mr. McLaughlin and Jehn Cllne are Intimate friends and for that reason the latter waa enabled te secure Mr. Frey for one nlgbt, at considerable expense. By eight o'clock an audience of perhaps 200 per son bad gathered at the room, Including the best known wlelders of the eue In the city. The table en whleh the playing was te be done had been placed near ths centre of the room, and around It were elevated chairs of sufficient number te seat all present, and give them a geed view of the playing. It waa shortly alter eight o'clock when Mr. Frey made hla appearance In the room and he waa greeted with loud applause. He quickly threw off bis overcoat and took hla place at the table where tbe audience closely scrutinized him. He la quite a young man, net being ever 21 or 22 yeara of age, and la or alight build. He wear no beard or moustache and has light hslr. Al together be presents a very youthful appear anee. Jehn Cllne announced that Mr. Frey and he would open tbe entertainment by playing together for the best of 21 games under tbe new rules. By these rules the person sheeting first la obliged te aend two balls of tbe fifteen te the cushion. In case he falls te de this In three trials he forfeits tbe game. A start waa at once made and tbe professional wen eleven games out of thirteen. Cllne made a geed ahewlng, how ever, and he lest several of tbe games by un fortunate shots at critical times. The shoot sheet ing of Mr. Frey waa wonderful, and the beat feature of his work was hla playing for posi tion se tbst when he pocketed a ball he had tbe ethers In geed position for tbe next shot His work at times was received with tre mendous applause. In several games Mr. Frey pocketed all the balls without stepping. Tbe score was aa fellow ; Frey t 1 I 0 t 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1-11 Cllne 0 U0101000000 0 i After these game Mr. Cllne announced that Mr. Frey waa ready te play any ether persen in the room who might be anxious te try tbalr chances. A large man, with aide whlakers,whe aat In the Irent row, jumped at the chance. He waa marked as an " un known" en the blackboard, but be proved te be a drummer named Oeatea, from In dianapolis. He seemed very anxious te have a go with tbe little wonder, but for what rea son we will never knew, unless it waa that he desired te Inform hla friends In the Hoesler state upon his return home, that he played wltb the champion et tbe world. Frey certainly " played " with him, and dur ing the eleven games, all of which were wen by the champion, It was net altogether plain at times whether Mr. Coatee was In tbe game or net In the contests be did net succeed In getting mere than a dozen balls. Mr. Frey made the whole fifteen twice and runs of twelve, thirteen and fourteen at ether times. After these games Mr. Frey entertained the audience for about a quarter et an hour by making all kinds of fancy shots and the per formance was ever by ten o'clock. It was a success In every way, and the billiard loving publle are certainly Indebted te Mr. Cllne for bis bringing tbe young champion te thlaclty. After the exhibition there was a great Uaal of peel playing by amateurs who had some close and exciting contests until a late hour. The Klug Street Theatre.

He argued that the conditions were dissimilar and that the question et suspend ing the leurth section et the bill oemea within the power et the commission. The same power had been exercised In ether eaaea by the commission and the aame relief waa prayed for by these reads. He had hopes tbat the commission would paia a final rule that water taillle and railroad traffic were dissimilar and In this respect auapend the operation or thla fourth section. Pending the construction of the fourth action of tbe law by the com mission, business en all readea from Boa Bea Boa ten te New Yerk bad practically eeased.

He ex pressed this opinion In a publle Interview.
