Special Dispatch tc. The Star.
HAGERSTOWN. Md., August 17.?
Election and installation of officers
will be the outstanding feature of today's
session of the annual meeting
of the Elks' Association of the District
of Columbia, Maryland and
Delaware. A spirited contest in the
election ia anticipated in view of the
fact that William N. French of Annapolis,
and Mayor A. Church Stewart
of Frostburg, past exalted ruler,
have announced their Intentions of
entering the race tor the presidency.
The meeting will come to a close tonight
with a grand ball at Ute Hagerstown
Country Club.
Wins Two Trophies.
The Washington Dodge of Elbs distinguished
Itself here yesterday
afternoon by winning two trophies
presented for the finest appearance in
the parade and for having the best
band in the band contest. The Washingtonlans
also won a tug of war
with the Hagerstown team and whitewashed
the Baltimore Elks' nine in a
base ball game by a score of 21 to 0.
The business session of the convention
yesterday was called off, due to
the lack of a quorum. Consequently
the Elks devoted the day wholly to
participation in social events, athletic
contests, a street parade and
band concerts.'
Gsrersw Reviews Parade.
Perhaps the salient event on yesterday's
program was the street parade,
in which the 200 Washington Elks distinguished
themselves. The procession
marched through the principal
streets and was reviewed from a
stand in the public square by Gov.
Ritchie of Maryland, Mayor Broenlng
of Baltimore, Representative Zthlman
of Maryland, officers of the state Elks'
Association, Mayor John Ankeney and
other Hagerstown officials.
The parade, which formed at Washington
Square, was in three divisions.
In the procession were squads of
state police. Washington Lodge.
