These occasions are always fraught with unusual interest for members of the craft and last night was no exception, many guests coming from considerable distances to attend the exercises. Several past masters of Perseverance and sister lodges were present. A note of patriotism ran through all that oc curred during evening and refer ence was made in a number of speeches to the participation of Masonic patriots in the wars of this country as well as in the achievements of. peace.

He first called upon one of the most popular members of the Masonic fraternity in this city, W. S. Snyder, the District Deputy Grand Master, who responded in his usual happy vein. Notable among the speeches was that by William M.
