All had a most en- joyable time and more than a hun- dred prizes were distributed. This, the first picnic of the order this sea- son, was strictly in the nature of a family reunion and was as orderly as if it had been a private outing. On the occasion of the first meet- ing in May Grand Trustee Charbonier will visit San Diego for the purpose of in lling the officers of U. 8. Grant Grove of that place, and it is probable that at that time he will be called upon to institute a new grove in that place.

Martinoni will on that occasion be the orator and address the assemblage in the Italian language. Galileo and Alpini groves have ar- ranged for a joint picnic at El Campo May 15.

North End Grove had a picnic in Germania Garden in this city last Sunday. April 13 the grand arch druidess, accompanied by Grand Secretary Mrs. A. Thornhill and a number of mem- bers of local circles, paid an official visit to Oakland Circle. Nine strang- ers were initiated. The circle was ad- dressed by the visiting grand officers.

Grand President Finkeldey appoint- ed a committee to attend the vention that has for its purpose preservation of that ancient landmark the great highway in the southern part of the State. One thing that has caused a great deal of comment in the order is that, accidentally or intentionally, Past Grand President Keith, who in- troduced the landmark question in t order and did a great deal to inter the members in the preservation of his- toric landmarks, was not named a member of the committee. Still, this did not preveht her from attending th convention, as she was selected a dele- gate from the Daughters of Pioneers te that body the IR PR Fraternal Brotherhood.

Columbia Lodge at its last held ses- sion received five applications and hasg a number of others on the way.
