The class will be made up of nearly 450, about 300 of which will be for San Francisco Council and the others for California Council, also of this city, and for the councils located at Oakland, Vallejo and other places. Mis- sion Masonic Hall had been selected as the place for the ceremony of indue- tion into the order, but from the in- formation received as to the number who will attend it was decided that the hall, the largest in this city at this by a large number of Odd,Fellows, who | He was | | followed by Past Grand Master W.

He then visited Stockton and was assisted in a marked degree in his work by Orrin S. Henderson, p;u! grand master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of this State, a member of the order. Before he left he succeeded in placing twenty new members in the court in that city. He visited the court in Sacramento, where he found a good ally Charles F.
