Grand Master Willlam Nicholls Jr., while making his tour of the Santa Cruz Mountains district, visited Rebekah Lodge at Santa Cruz in the afternoon and was accorded a hearty welcome. The re- ception committee is entitled to great credit for the arrangements as to decora- tions, pregramme and collation, for it was one of the most pleasant that has been held in many a day. There was, of course, the ceremonial and business side which showed that the officers are alive to the work of the order. The grand mas. ter delivered an address that was full of valuable advice. In the evening he paid av to San Lorenzo Lodge of the sub- ordinates in the same city, where he was welcomed by & large number of the mem- bers and was tendered a special welcome by T. W. Forsyth, noble grand of the lodge. This lodge, which claims the title of “banner lodge,” proved its excellency | for conducting business and work in the{ initiatory degree, and it was highly com- plimented for that, and deservedly so. In addition to an address by the grand mas- ter, there were addresses by Duncan Mec- Pherson, one of the prominent newspaper men of that city, and J. N. Lincoln. A social hour followed the ceremonies of the evening. On _the night of the Ist instant, the grand master visited Enterprise Lodge at Oakland, where there was an exemplifi- cation of the work and an agreeable even- ing thereafter. On the 2d the grand mas- ter returned to his home in Dutch Flat. Boulder Creek Lodge, in the town of that name, held a special meeting last week to officially receive the grand mas- ter.

There was after a short business meeting a reception to San Francisco Canton of the Patriarchs Militant and Captain Kornbeck and a programme of entertainment.

Arrangements are being made to bring it most prominently to Lhe front both in the work behind closed doors and in the social line. Templar Lodge had an entertainment and dance on the night of the 3d of Au- gust, which was attended by as many as could well find room in the hall. It was in line with the pleasing social functions that this lodge has been giving in the past few months. Ancient Order of Workmen.

He presided at an open meeting last week, with the result that a number of applications were presented. The extension committee has decided to make visits during August as follows: Ninth to Franklin Lodge, 12th to Superior Lodge, 21st to Fidelity Lodge and on the 2th to Burns Lodge. At each of these mectings it is expected that there will be good speakers to address the membership, particularly on the line of having a grand initiation in October. A circular has been issued to the lodges of this city requesting each to appoint & committee of one to meet in the Western Hall of the Shiels building on the nigh of the 15th of August to discuss a proj sition to get up a monster initiation in this city in the latter part of October. There will be a meeting of the corpor- ate directors on the night of the Sth inst. to discuss matters of importance to the welfare of the order.

Special Deputy Brewer is working in St. Helena and Napa, and expects to have logges in t]h;se placeuiln ttlhe near future, new lodge was instits Brage Auguat 3. g e Jort Myrtle Lodge has been stimulated to re- newed activity by the fact that the Fleishman beneficiary certificate, which the brother named made over to the lodge, not having any living relatives, was re- cently paid into the lodge fund.

On the night.of July 30 about fifty mem- bers of California Council partook of a supper at one of the downtown restau- rants that was given under the auspices of Deputy J. N. Bunting to the workers of the counciy, who had done much to in- crease the membership of the order. Be- fore the supper was over Captain Teddy Banz and Colonel James A. Wilson se- cured the application of the restaurant keeper to join the council, and then they argued the point for a time with ex-Con- gressman Maguire, with the result that he may soon be initiated into the order.

Sparrow, John Fin- ley, Horace Wilson, Dr. M. B. Estes and Captain Teddy Banz and for vocal selec- tions from Frederick Purdy.

The Druids. On the 26th of July President James F. Martinon! and twenty-six members of the Past Arches’ Association pald a fraternal visit to Manzanita Grove, when there was much said for the good of the order by the visitors. The grove was found to be in a flourishing condition. After ad- journment all' present became the guests of Golden Gate Circle of the Druidesses and a pleasant social hour was spent in the social hall. The monthly meeting of the Past Arches’ Association on the 28th of July was well attended. President Martinoni presided, and after the routine of busl- ness the welfare of the order was dis- cussed by many of the past arches. The offer of Noble Grand Arch Julius S. Go- deau to make certain donations for the advance of his pe&)&dea of increasing the membership by 2 during the current druidic year was favorably commented upon and the idea of a monster initia- tion by the groves was well received. The association will visit Alpini Grove Au- gust 15. Olympia Grove and Olympia Circle will have its first picnic at Schuetzen Park on | August 1L ' Monteverde Grove worked in the initia- tory ‘degree at its last held meeting and also recelved several petitions for admis- sion.

Alcatraz Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West and its friends, in all about 300, had a pleasant anniversary pic- nic at Fairfax July 28. In addition to the usual festivities on occasions of this kind there was a paseball match between a picked team of married and one of un- married men and C. H. Turner, who was the rear admiral of the naval parade last September, was chosen ympire. As he knows “more about ships than he does about curves, his decisions were decided- Iy “raw,” so much so that the unmarried men who saw that he was bound to have the married men get away with the hon- ors, threw up the bat at the end of the fourth inning. In explaining his ruling | the rear admiral succeeded ~in making | confusion worse confounded, but managed to give out the information that a prom- inent member of the parlor offered him a box of cigars if he would rule favorably | to the unmarried men, but that no box of cigars could induce him to give a deci- slon contrary to his understanding of the game. During the past week District Deputy James P. Dockery, assisted by Harry I. Mulcrevey as grand marshal, installed the officers of Olympus Parlor in the De- visadero-street hall. The event was fol- lowed by a collation and a social hour. United Modern8.

The Supreme Lodge has issued a call for the institution of such a body in Los Angeles during the latter half of August. Regent E, W. Jakobs and T. G. Hodgkins will represent San Fran- cisco Lodge, and Samuel Charles Wallis of California Lodge will represent California Lodge. All three being members of other large fraternal organizations, and well up in fraternal work, are qualified for the Quties that will fail to their lot. San Francisco Lodge is adding to its membership at almost every session. The social functions of the lodge are being well attended to, and the monthly enter- tainments_are always well attended. California Lodge is moving along, not making much noise, but adding to its membership. Royal Arcanum, On the night of July 29, Golden West Council of the Reyal Arcanum had a pleasant meeting, when F. E. Beadwell, the popular chief officer of the Coptic, was admitted to membership. The work was by & team of members of the various local councils, with J. B. Whitney, D. D. G. R., as regent, and T. G. Hodgkins, G. S., us guide. The work, performed in a perfect and very impressive manner, was followed by an impromptu programme, in which Gus Gunzendorfer, grand regent, Drs.

The circle starts with more than sixty members and has Pprospects’ of in< creasing to a hundred within a short time. After the ceremonies there was a banquet at which Mrs. Sarah Beverson, the organ- izer, was highly complimented for the work she had done, particularly for the assistance she obtained from the members of Court Farragut in making the organ- ization a success, something that courts seldom do. Mrs. Sarah Beverson, special organizer, is organizing a new circle in Napa Cou ty and expects to have it ready for in- stitution in a short time. The order in the past six months has made a net gain of nearly 400 members | and reports from various parts of the State show more actlvity than has been known for some time. At the meeting of New Century Circle last Monday night there were present fifty-four, including visitors. The circle is decidedly active and has the faculty of attracting the members to the circle room. Woodmen of the World. At the meeting of California Council, July 28, there were present more than forty members and visitors, including State Organizer Temple, who, during the evening, delivered an interesting address and admitted that he had missed a good thing and so had many other neighbors by not visiting California Camp. The camp_officers, attired in the uniform of the Hayseed Band, initiated a number of candidates, and Joseph A. Wilson, who presided in the absence of the consul commander, made the ceremony of initia- tion decidedly interesting for the strang- ers who took the obligation. After the work there was some talk on the good of the order and one of the most interesting talks was given by Prince Laurance Vin- cent. This camp having found its quai ters In the Pioneer building too contract- ed and not being able to secure a larger hall there, will move to Native Sons’ Hall. Daughters of St. George.
