Norwich, Ct. miylsé Sovereign Consistory. Next Monday will be Hartford day in the Connectfcut Sovereign Consis- tory, and the largest class of candi- dates ever worked here in that body is expected from Hartford on that day to receive their 32d degree in Mason- ry. It s called Hartford day because the Consistory meets then for the ben efit of the Hartford candidates, the ses: slon being for their accommodation. Tt 1s expected that there will be be- tween forty and fifty candidates on that day, which will mean a large gathering at Masonic Temple, as the candidates_will be accompanied by & large number of 82d degree Masons from Hartford, ahd there will be oth- ers here from all parts of the state. Some of the most prominent Masons of the state are usually present af Hartford day, Albert S. Comstock, 334 degree, commander in chief, will have charge of the work. On Monday evening there was a spe- clal session of Norwich Soverelgn Chapter of Rose Croix, when a class of elght candldates was worked to be in readiness for the taking of the 324 degree next week. There were many in attendance at the session. Many of the local members of Sphinx Temple, Anclent Arabic Or- der, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, are planning to attend the opening of the circus season on Wednesday, May 26, at Hartford, when a street parade, starting from Foot Guard hall at 4.30, will follow the business session of half an hour earlier at the hall The Largest Class of Céndidates Ever Handled Expected Here to Get the 32nd Degree in Masonry at Connecticut % { | and intelligently seeks Shriners will be ready Yor the bm at 6 o'clock. An hour later the band, under the leadership of “Tom” Morgan, will burst forth into a concert programme, which will not be ended until 8 o'clock. When the music of the last number dies away it will be time for the ceremonial session, and what happens there the candidates will hate to tell. Anyway, the officlal pro- gramme urges the nobles, when they go out looking for victims, to “tell the novice that all the stories about ropes, camels, goats and hot sand are all vapor,” and that, on the contrary, the candidate will get a few more than all the good things which are coming to_him. The officlal programme or war cry has excellent llkenesses of Potentate Mahl, Chief Rabban (Arablc for bridge builder) John T. Henderson and oth- er elective officers. On the front page of the cover is an equally good photo- graph of the sphinx, taken upon the arrival of ex-President Roosevelt and party. The sphink wears an expansive | by smile and either Sphinxy or Mr. Roose- velt is saying “Dee-lighted.” The programme announces a lot of attractions which seem to be the best thus far offered for the summer sea- son. “The mayor will recite portions of his Sunday speech to the Bar- tenders’ union and will then receive kicks from all who falled to receive a commission eppointment.” The bul letin contains “knocks” about thing: left undone or which are in the early stages of construction. 250th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION of the Founding of Norwich, July 5th and 6th M’ALL AUXILIARY HAS QUARTERLY MEETING. Reports on the Annual Meeting of American Association. The quarterly meeting of the McAll Auxiliary was held at the home of the president, Miss Mary L. Huntington- ton, on Broadway, Monday afternoon.

Sixty-three auxillaries were represented at this meeting. A review of the past ten years showed how great had been the progress of the association in that time. Among other things, she spoke of the grow- ing interest in French history and of the young women's gullds and reading classes. A pretty story connected the McAll mission with missionary work In_South Africa. Hor report was followed by the song, “I Love to Tell the Story, which was sweotly given by Mrs, Charles Tyler Bard. Mrs. Hyde read the printed report of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Weyland. She said that France can- not be saved by theorles—oniy by the | true Christ, and this was the message Dr. McAll went to tell. There are so many empty souls there to be filled with the love of God. She spoke of the change from the first nolsy meet- ings in the Salle Boune Nouvelle to the quiet, orderly ones there now. Then came a history of the vears changes in the personnel of the work- ers in the McAll mission, glimpses of the vear's work in the various mission statione, stories of interesting happen- ings, and work among the children and on the mission boats. Miss Hunt- ington spoke of the second day's meet- ing in Plainfield, telling especlaily of the new tent which Miss Gould has provided. This #s 60 metres long and has an lrqn frame. The canvas has frescoed panels. There is a car to accompany it, where the leader lives. Many places which could be reached In no other way, will now be provided for.

Anne’s detachment of the girls, were at the T. A. B. building Bunday afternoon for drill under the instruction of Drillmester John Craw- ford. There was a full turnout and creditable work was done, but espe- clally by the girls, who are getting in trim for the exhibition drill which they are to give at their dance. Drillmas- ter Crawford is predicting tha! 7 will surprise the parents and when they are seen for the first time in_public in their evolutions. The two companies of boys have re- ceived an Invitation from Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, to march with them on Memorial day, but it has been decMned with regret, because the uni- forms for the boys will not be here vy that time. Otherwise it would have been eagerly accepted and the boys and their officers and advisers are greatly disappointed that It had to be declined now. At. St. Patrick’s church on Sunday morning the rector, Rev. Hugh Treanor, spoke briefly In com- mendation of the spirit and interest shown by the boys in thelr organiza- tion, and expressed the hope that it might be possible for every boy in the parish to be enrolled.
