The editor of TUE NEWS -RECORD was a delegate to the Grand Orange Lodge and Grand Black Chapter of Ontario West at Orangeville last week. At the station in Clinton, on Monday morning of last week, we met our old time friends, Bros. John Neil and James Horsey, District Masters of Biddulph and Hullett, respectively. At Winghanr Bro. Horuey parted our company and Event 011 to Hatristun, while Bro. Neil and the writer spent a pleasant flour or two with the Acleanee man, Capt.. Williams, and dined with the worthy lecturer for North Huron, Bro. T. E. Cernyn. Miss Cornyn was in charge of the necessaries of life and the visitors fared well at her hands. T. P. and his brothel' are in the furni- ture and undertaking business and ap- parently doing well, while their father tB engaged in untying and selling stock. On hoarding the C. P. R. for Orange- ville we met an excellent companion in the person of County Master Col. • Scott, of Kincardine. He is the gentle- man who gats fought several battles for the people's party in Bruce and now commands the 32nd Battalion. Along the line the number of delegates in- creased, among these b'ing Bros. Sperling, Mooney, Mahoo:l, S,Lwyer, Cel. White, and Jermyn of Wharton flagfame. At Harriston Bro. Homey rejoined the party ; he had only taken MI outside circuit because his ticket tailed for a round -about ride. Orangeville was reached about 6:30 p m. Bro. Bennett, of the Paisley House, received the party kindly and.we had tea. The first acquaintance THE NE Ws -RECORD met was Mr. Dennis Mungovan, the genial and able editor of the Dufferi, Post. He ex- pressed regret that he was unable to give, ine the "grip," but extended a hearty welcome to Orangeville and grasped the writer's hand with earnest- ness. Mr. Mungovan is a Roman Catholic. Very unfortunately he has lest his eyesight. A year ago while on ray way to Owen Sound I had met hint ie the Post sanctum. His report of the tkrand Lodge meeting at Orangeville was illustrated with engravings of the prominent of_:ers. The Bleeds. Chapter opened Monday night and continued its session Tues- day morning. The election of officers resulted as follows :--Sir Knights Wnt. L. Bell, G. M., Toronto; 14. 'Burnett, D. M., Brampton ; Jas. D.ullop, Assist. i. M., St. Catherines ; Rev. Wm.

Peel: - hill, Grand Master of British America, installed the newly ele.tc.l ot'fic•ere. • At noon I duct my esteemed friend Dr. Buchanan, of ('ooksenvn, who at Owen Sound a year ago placed himself at the "utercy" of the Toronto delega- tion and afterward foetid friend, at. the Comely. House. The doctor looked welt and felt, as %veil as he looked. The G. D. (I., Chas. Palling, of Allen- dale. was as bright and smiling as a newly -wedded --groom, but repoet siiys the Grit fandango to place at heavy tax on widowers who refueeto ",lo it again" Evill interfere with his finances to the tune of five hundred a year. In con- sequence he will continue to be a Tory and smile as of yore. Bet his sten- torian voice will cease to be heard so frequently, for he hes passed through five been in office and has asked tor and tpeen gralllted a rest. There was a very large attendance of delegates from this out -at one time about 400 voters and 15) to 210 visitors. Owen Sound sent a strung contingent, and Bro. Hoath was a, manly speci- men. Among the absentees the Hanle of John Scarlett, P. ('. M., South Huron, was frequently heard. Grand Master Nicholson, Deputy Master Hughes and Lockhart, Secre- tary Birmingham and assistant Lee, Treasurer Clarke, in fact all officers were at their post of duty. Major Sant Hughes, M. P.. of the Lindsay Warder, 1). Creighton, of the Empire, and A. M. Todd, of THE NEWS-REcon o, were the only official representatives of the press and Voters in the Grand Lodge. The Hon. N. Clarke \Vnllace, M. W. G. M., B. A., was present and the Grand Lodge by resolution heartily congratulated the hon. gentleman on his deserved promotion. W. W. Fitzgerald, of London, re- ceived word by wire of his appoint- ment to the judgeship of Welland and no time was lost in clothing Judge Fitzgerald in a becoming suit and gown. Among many past officers and other distinguished gentlemen, we had a shake from A. F. Campbell, M. P. P., the "getting", well known to many of our readers. Judge Fred. W. Johnston • was re- membered to the writer and other Grand Lodge members by Major T. H. Elliott, faith Batt., Algona Rifles, Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. The committee work took up a great deal of time, as it should, and the various reports showed the Order to be making great onward strides. The nett increase in membership in Ontario West during the year, has been no less than 2,494. The finances are in a satisfactory state. At 7:3) p. ni, on Tuesday the various delegates assembled on the market square, where they formed in proces- sion and marched to St. Nark's Church, headed by 'the town band. Here im- pressive services were conducted by Rev. Canon Henderson and Rev. W. Walsh, grand chaplain. The latter delivered an eloquent and powerful sermon ort Patriotism. The discourse occupied about an hour in delivery and was heard with the closest attention by the vast audience that criwded the church. J. L. Hughes is the -new Grand Master, Lockhart the deputy, Jermyn associate, E. F. Clarke the treasurer, W. Lee the secretary and Col. Scott assistant, Rev. Walsh chaplain, Robert Burns, D. of C., and Bailie lecturer, Major Cooper and T. C. McEvoy, auditors. A number of deputy chap- lains and lecturers were also elected. The County Master of South Huron declined, though regretfully, to allow his narne to be placed in nomination for Associate Deputy. Past Grand Mas- ter Nicholson and Past Secretary Birmingham will he presented with suitable testimonials in recognition of past services. Mayor Lindsey and the other mem- bers of the town council presented the Grand Lodge with an address of wel- come Wednesday, and suitable replies were made by Grand Master Nicholson, Hon. N. C. Wallace, J. L. Hughes, E. F. Clarke and others. Lite on Wednesday night the Grand Lodge adjourned to meet•next year in Chatham. At the Paisley Ilouse the " most illustrious Order of the Royal Cats" was introduced and there was many an initiation and numerous "salutes." But there must he an end to all things and the "cat" was quietly laid to rest at a seasonable hour. The " host" Bro. Bennett, has promised to have the " kittens" in good shape for the next meeting 20 years hence. Bafm a parting all voted Bro. Bailey a hustler in doing so match for the entertainment and comfort of the visitors. 011 the return the writer spent a day or two in the vicinity of Mt. Forest. The Confederate and /tepre„entatire editors received us kindly and expressed a willingness to talk with THHE NEWS - RECORD RECORD once it week. Ota• relative, Mrs. Wm. Cook, introduced us to her br other, Mr. John Sheppard, aL general merchant, There are a good many Sh )(yards in that locality; they are all Irish and spell their name the stone. We had ,tea at Mr. Win. Wn1latce's, Hirci' miles from Mt. Forest, tile: road being known ars the Town Line, I0'tween hgremtc)nt and Arthur.

There is none of the blue ruin or deso- lation there that we hear so much about from the Opposition benches in Parliament. Miss Sheppard, daughter of John (not -John of Clinton) was a visitor there, and she and t\Iiss Wal- lace entertained the writer by render- ing 51'veral selections of 11111ai0 and song. Soon we were on the road again heading for the home of Mr. Wel. Cook, about, seven miles distant. \clung the many farmers there is nn- mistakal)le evidence Of thrift and pros- perity -cleared, level and rolling rand, large bank barns and expensive resi- dences. Alighting, we are Inet by Mr. Cook and family and Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Cooper, our country cousins. A re- union of the kind is pleasant to recall in one's life. At a late hour we re- tired with the assurance that test was required -and of course it was -and that the weary aright remain undis- turbed at his leisure. Soon our eyes were closed in slumber; in the sleep of the just. Old Sol atda.wn peeped from behind the trees, but we knew it not ; rose higher and higher, still we slept ; the eaves began to drop and frost and snow gave way tinder the beaming sun ; midday almost caput and still no signs of awaking.

THE NEWS -RECORD lie pronounced an excellent proper. Mr. Proctor recently sold several steel's for 5. c. a 1b. and $1 a head, bringing there well nigh $100 a head. Our market is good enough for Mr. Proctor. The only impression gained in our short travels is that the northern sec- tions we passed through are good enough for the loyal people who live there.
