PR ECHOES FROM E. O. P. Convention. ORDER OF PROTECTION. The annual meeting of the grand lodge of Connecticut was held in Wa- terbury on Wednesday, preceded on Tueséday evening with an informal re- ception. The principal feature of the evening was the fancy drill by the de- gree team of Elm Tree lodse, New Haven, a lodge whose membership i8 entirely male, and which stands third in_size of membership in the whole order. The drill was beautifully given, the uniformed members of tha team, twelve in number, executing the vari- ous manoeuvres with great skill and precision, forming the letters of the words Eilm Tree, N. E. 0. P, and other designs to the music of their own planist. The convention was entertained by the seven lodges in Waterbury and had «bout 300 members of the order in at-} tendanc The session opened at 10.45. The roll of officers and committees was called and all nd officers found to be present. The only past grand warden present was Frank J. Hill of Ansonia. The badges provided as souvenirs of the occasion were of dark blue ribbon, printed in gold, necticut Grand Lodge, N. E. O. P., at Waterbury, April 12, 1911, with me- dalion in white bearing on one side the insignia of the order in black and on the other the arms of the city of Waterbury in blue. The medalion was suspended from a white ribbon, the badge being fastened with a brass pin and buckle.. The badges of the voling members wers of dark blue satin rib- bon. and those of non-voting memhers of light blue, both printed in gold. . After a greeting and welcome to the city from the mayor, the grand lodge went into a business session, when Grand Warden P. E. Whalen read his ru%on, He noted the good effect of public meetings held in various places poke of the excellent work done various degree teams of the 1 and The finances throughout the state ‘were reported as in an excellent condi- tion. The. only new lodge of the year was TFelipse of Waterbury. One lodge char- ter was suspended and & number of its members transferred to other lodges in ite vicinity. This was followed by the report of the grand secretary. This showed that 1911, there were 91 lodges: membership st of December, 1909, 14.879; for Decsmber, 1910, 15,703, a met gain of 926. One hundred and for- | ty-nine members died during the year. treasurer”’ ort showed, in addition to the above items, for the year ending March 31, 1911, that the order had recelved during the vear $10.558.40 and had paid out $7,282.97, with a balance of over $18,000 in banks at_the present time. Resolutions drawn up by Grand Treasurer Drew on the death of Jerome B. Weiant, past grand warden of Connecticut, who died October, 1910, ‘were adopted. After the reading of these resolu- tions the lodge rose and stood silent for a few moments in token of respect to the memory of the deceased war- . After the reports came new business. The first was nominations and election of grand lodge officers. This resulted in the re-election of P. E. Whalen as grand warden; of J. Christle a nd vice warden; of Jer- emiah Waill grand * secretary; of Frederick “ M, Draw as and treas- urer; of Mri. Josephine T. Dawson as srand chaplain; of Fordyce B. Rey- ®olds of Waterbury for grand gulde; of Mrs. 'Lulu Rudolph as grand guar- n: of sentinel. The other officers are: Grand chap- | lain, Mrs. Josephine T. Dawson of | Bridgeport; &'nr;d guide, Fordyce B.| Reynolds of Waterbury; grand guardi- an, Mrs. Lulu Rudolph; grand senti- el, Henry J. Wilson; trustees, P. J. MeDonald of Waterbury, F. M.

In the report-of the grand secretary it was shown that durii the year 1910, from Jan. 1 till Dec. 31, there was a sain in membership of 925, but that nce that time, in the following three months, the fraternal societies have all suffered somewhat on account of this bill, and among the rest the N. E. O. P. came in for its share. The member- ship ‘dropped rapidly till on March 31 it was considerably bshind. During the previous year an increase of 1,200 was made in the membership\so the order is in just as good condition if not better than it ever was. There ‘is considerable anxiety con- cerning the outcome of the bill. This provides that every fraternal insurance company should put a valuation upon the policies it issues and to have a reserve fund large enough to cover the number of policies out. This will of course affect the N. B. O. P., among others, since by the present plan be- sides paying the dues every month that go to the support of the local and grand officers an assessment is levied every month by the supreme f§fficers n Poston to pay for the deaths 8uring that month. If the bill is passed the insurance rates in all the companies will. be greatly increased. There are only one or. two orders at present that have a plan such as is outlined in the il UNITED WORKMEN. The lease between Groton’s new ath- letic club and the trustees of Thames lodge, No. 13, of Groton, has been drawn up and signed. The lease gives the club the privilege of using certain rooms in the hall for a period of two vears, with the privilega of renewal for another period of two years at the ex- piration of the first term. On the part of the club the lease was signed by Dr. F. W. Hewes and Christopher L. Avery; the trustees signing were Hi- ram M. Hodgdon, Nelson S. Holdredge and Lincoln H. Holloway. Next Wed- nesday evening the athletic club, which is composed of many of the prominent and influential. young men of the town, will meet and formally organize. Tha club has adopted as its name the Gro- ton Athletic ¢lub and has already ar- ranged for a.dance to be given in A. O. U. W. hall soon affer Lent. Gary lodge, No. 8, of Mystic, will have its annual installation of officers next Thursday eveming, April 20th, on which oecasion _the lodge expects to entertain Grand Master Workman Far- ren of New Haven, Grand.

A memorable .fraternal gathering in the history of Thames lodge, No. 13, of Groton, was that of last Tuesday night, when the long talked of game of carpet bowls .-between the Thames lodge team—a winner of many contests —and a team from _1Israel Putnam lodge, No. 31, of New Haven, came off amid much enthusiasm. The Thames lodge team came off easy victors, score 21 t6 5, but it should be noted that the New Haven team was handicapped from the -fact that the Thames lodge style of playing the game is different from the New Haven league's method, the latter playing the Toronto way. It must be considered also that the Thames lodge team consists of highly expert players and 'that ‘they were on their own ground, thoroughly familiar with their own alleys. The visitors were also handicapped, as Brother George Young in hurriedly knocking off work for the day, in order to go to Groton, fell off a scaffolding and so was not in his usual form, the mishap having affected his usual nerve. After the game the New Haven visitors gave an exhibition of the Toronto style of playing ‘the game, which much im- pressed the Thames team in favor of their adopting the Toronto style. A fine social -time followed with the serving of refreshments.,George Young was manager of the lIsrael Putnam team and L. H. Holloway for the Thames team, and Grand Recorder Stroh. of . New Haven was scorer and performed the arduous duties of scorer with' the utmost equity and accuracy and good humor. Guests for the occa- seph J. Watt of Jewatt City, W a. Coxeter of Hartford, O.
