AN event notable in the history of Dryden was the inauguration on; Friday last of a Chapter of the! Order of the Eastern Star, an' organization already world-wide in its scope whose present stand- ing carries considerable prestige, and as it becomes more closely affiliated with other fraternities, nay one day become a powerful nfluence for civilization hardly nferior to that mighty Order to ~vhich it is akin. Among the visitors attracted to our town by the ceremonial were important delegations from Ken- ora and Keewatin, also from the' lake cities of Fort William and Port Arthur, who alternately took charge of the Institution and In- itiation of the Dryden Chapter. Among these were many ladies of considerable prominence in their respective communities whose standing is an index of the charact- er of the organization to which they belong. The Order of the Eastern Star offers no financial inducements to join, nor does it promise any social or business.preferment to those seeking initiation. It is purely a iraternity, admission to whose portals furnishes a desirable in- roduction to a loftier and more enlightened plane for those who are admitted to membership. With one impartial but significant restriction, membership is open to the eligible ladies of all ages in the community. The institution of Silver Star Chapter No. 177 in Dryden was performed by Sister Shaunbacker, of Port Arthur, Rt. Wor. Grana I'rustee, assisted by Sister Grant, Grand Secretary, Sister Hunter, Grand Marshall ; Sister Allen, Grand Chaplain; Sister Caurrthers Assistant Grand Matron, and Sister Robinson, Grand Warden. The ceremony took up most of Friday afternoon and after the election of officers had taken place, the ladies adjourned to the Central Hotel where supper was enjoyed. At seven-thirty they again as- sembled at the Masonic Hall where the beautiful ceremony of initiation was exemlified by the members of Winona Chapter, Kenora. Visitors were then admitted and the Sisters from the Twin Cities then proceeded to in- stall the officers of Silver Star. Sister Shaunbacker presided and was assisted by Sister Hunter, Grand Marshall. The following officers were installed for Silver Star Chapter for the ensuing year: Worthy Patron, Bro. A.

The game was fast and furious and played be- fore a crowd of nearly two hund- red. It being handled by Referee Collidge of Fort William. The goals for Dryden were tal- lied by Mike Louttit, the flashy right-winger and F. Colliss, the fast defence man. Rorke scored the only point for Sioux in the third period. The first period opened with both teams feeling for weak spots. Colliss went through with a great burst of speed and beat Falconer, the goalie, but after- wards the play was ruled off-side. The second period started up with boath teams raring to go. Louttit, with fast skating and quick stick handling went through and scored first blood. Colliss later repeated his fast work and registered another. There were two minor penalties in this period. The third was easily the best. Rorke, the burly Sioux defense man, made a beautiful rush thru' the Dryden defense and put the rubber past Sherwood in real pro. fashion. Louttit again scoring in this period. Only one penalty was given in this period. The Sioux Team, under the management of D.
