SECTION XIX. Orders and Clubs.

Within this section we eatalogue, as far as we know them, and give some account of, all the still unmentioned combinations,-orders, societies and as- sociations, -- secret and open, literary, benevolent, social and athletic, of the city. We present, first, general heads, and then follow, under each of these, with their detail of chapters or branches. The oldest of the orders is that of the Free-Masons. To their various bodies we give the opening place.

FREE-MASONS.

These have two Blue Lodges, a Chapter, a Council, a Commandery and an adjunct to the two lodges, known as the Board of Masonic Relief. We notice cach of these in its turn.

RISING STAR LODGE, No. 450, FREE AND AC- CEPTED MASONS .- This lodge was organized in 1826. Its warrant was issued Sept. 7th of that year, and contained the names of Amos W. Gates, Worshipful Master ; Robert Dingee, Senior Warden ; and Oliver C. Deuslow, Junior Warden. The charter was surren- dered September 12, 1831, and Masonry slumbered for many years thereafter in Yonkers, as in many other places, owing to the prevalent popular opposition of the day. The lodge was, however, reorganized Janu- ary 22, 1851. Its original number had been 393, but at the reorganization it was changed to 142. On the reunion of the Grand Lodges of the State of New York, in 1858, the different lodges were renumbered, and that of this lodge was further changed to 450, which it still retains. Among its early members were Amos W. Gates, MI.D., Oliver C. Denslow, M. N. Wisewell, William W. Serugham, Edward Under- hill, Frederic S. Cozzens, John M. Mason, James Jenkinson, Robert F. Rich, J. Foster Jenkins, M.D.,

and Robert J. Douglass, all of whom are now dead. James Jenkinson attained the distinction of Grand Master of one of the Grand Lodges of the State, which position he held at the time of the union. Oliver C. Denslow was at one time Grand Senior Warden of the State.

Where the lodge held its meetings before 1858 we eannot learn, but for a very long time from that year it occupied the upper floor of what is now No. 6 North Broadway. Thence it removed to the hall attached to the Getty House, and thence again to its present rooms, in the Yonkers Savings Bank building.

The still-living member longest connected with the lodge is Mr. A. C. Mott, who has been its secretary more than a quarter of a century. The communica- tions of the lodge occur on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The officers for 1884 were John E. Murphy, W.M. ; Joseph Greenhalgh, S.W .; Anton Wagner, J.W. ; Wallis Smith, Treasurer; Abram C. Mott, Secretary ; Edwin A. Quick, Chap- lain; Eugene Timeson, S.D .; George W. Brown, J.1) .; W. H. Greenhalgh and John Griffin, Masters of Ceremonies; Charles E. Skinner, Marshal; William Westney, Tiler ; Jacob Read, T. R. Murphy and W. H. Greenhalgh, Trustees. The Past Masters of the lodge now living are Haynes L. Warren, Theodore Terrell, Thomas C. Murphy, Eugene Timeson, J. E. Murphy, Henry Stengel and Edwin A. Quick. The present membership is about one hundred and six- teen.

Prime, Thrice Il- lustrious Master; Lyman Cobb, Jr., Right Illustrious Deputy Master; and William A. Gibson, Illustrions Principal Conductor of the Work.

YONKERS BOARD OF MASONIC RELIEF .- In De- cember, 1878, a compact was formed between the two Masonic lodges of the city, under which this board was organized, to afford temporary relief to sojourners. The board is composed of the Masters and Wardens of both lodges, six in all. Its funds are derived from assessments on the lodges, according to a seale desig- nated in the company. . The board adopted its own by-laws, which were approved by the lodges, and it remains in operation. Its first members were Theo- dore Terrell, Eugene Timeson and Thomas R. Mur- phy, from Rising Star Lodge, and Ralph E. Prime, W. W. Wilson and Joseph A. Lockwood, from Nep- perhan Lodge. Mr. Abram C. Mott has been its only secretary and treasurer. Meetings are held in ditfer- ent places on the second Wednesday of January, March and May, on the first Tuesday of September and November, and on the first Tuesday of December (St. John the Evangelist's Day).

INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD-FELLOWS.

This order was first represented in Yonkers by Nepperhan Lodge, No. 181, I. O. O. F. This lodge was granted a charter September 30, 1845, but sur- rendered it again February 26, 1855. We mention it now only as matter of history. The petition for it in 1845 was made by Samuel W. Chambers, Jantes Borlane, Horatio S. Gates, M.D., Ezra B. Keeler, Alfred HI. Hyatt, William Mann, James Hughes, Peter Garrison, William Henry Garrison, William P. Reviser and Matthias Warner. The lodge met in the upper room of a building on the south side of Main Street, adjoining the building which faced on Getty Square. At the time of the surrender of the charter there were eight members, as follows: Samuel W. Chambers, Jacob Read, Charles F. Belknap, Ezra B. Keeler, William P. Mott, William Mann, F. R. Bost- wick and John Stevens. The last five named held honors as Past Grands. The lodge had once exper- ienced a period of prosperity, during which its mem- bership reached about one hundred and twenty-five. The 1. O. O. F. have now in the city Yonkers Lodge, No. 232, and Shaffer Encampment, No. 100. YONKERS LODGE, No. 232, I. O. O. F .- This lodge was organized May 12, 1870, with five members. The first officers were Robert B. Light, N. G .; and Eli L. Loschenkohl, Secretary. The first quarters of the lodge were in the building on the southwest corner of Main Street and Getty Square. It was removed thence to the Anderson Building, over the People's Savings-Bank, and thence again, in May, 1876, to its present quarters, in Warburton Hall. Here it enjoys

elegant rooms, owning furniture and fixtures which cost over two thousand dollars. The lodge is pros- perons. It has a fund of over six thousand five hun- dred dollars. Its membership is one hundred and fifteen. Meetings are held every Thursday night throughout the year. The present officers (1885) are Howard T. Schultz, N. G .; Theodore J. Bayer, V. G .; William l'humb, Rec. Sec .; James D. Mcintyre, l'er- manent Secretary ; Jacob Rose, Treasurer. The trus- tees are Jantes D. Melntyre, George R. Goss and Roger Sullivan.

SHAFFNER EN- CAMPMENT, No. 100, I.O.O. F .- The Eu- campment or Patri- archal branch of Odd-Fellowship is higher than that of the lodge, possession of the Third or Scar- let Degree being a necessary qualifica- tion for the attain- ment of the Patri- archal, the Golden Rule and the Purple, which are the En- campment degrees.

Shaffner Encamp- ment, No. 100, of Youkers, named in honor of Col. Tala- fiero P. Shaffner, of Kentucky, was in- stituted January 29, 1883. The charter members were J. Edwin Butler, Myer Loewenthal, Theo- dore J. Bayer, Isaac D). Cole, Robert B. Light, Roger Sulli- vau, David P. Ta- sheira, George C. Yours fraternally SCP Sandero P.G. Siro Reid, R. Fawcett, August Ulrich, J. McQuade, Jas, Grif- ting, William W. Kinneir, Solon Lapham, Thomas A. ments of leisure in the study of law, had passed Rhodes, John Bright, Richard M. Johnstone and Jacob Rose.

The first officers of the encampment were,-Chief Patriarch, Theodore J. Bayer; High Priest, Roger Sullivan; Senior Warden, August Ulrich ; Junior Warden, Richard M. Johnstone ; Treasurer, David I'. Tasheira ; Seribe, Thomas E. Lee.

W., Q. A. Shaffer ; J. W., Charles P. Ward; Scribe, William Plumb ; Treasurer, David P. Tasheira.

The membership at the same date was forty-one.

YONKERS REBEKAH DEGREE, NO. 95 .- The Re- bekah Degree is a side degree which is conferred upon the wives, sisters and daughters of Odd-Fellows.

Application by over twenty ladies who had received the degree was made to the Grand Lodge in August, 1885, to charter a Rebekah Lodge in Yonkers, and the charter was granted, but the lodge has not yet been instituted.

James Patterson Sanders, Past Grand Sire of the Indepen- dent Order of Odd- Fellows, has been a member of Yonkers Lodge, No. 232,sinee October 3, 1872, and has held the highest offices in the gift of that Order in the world. His national reputation among Odd-Fellows, and his residence of nearly forty years in this county, suggest as fitting a short sketch of his life at this point. He was born in Dutch St., New York City, on the 5th of April, 1819, and received his elementary edu- cation in the private schools of that city. At the age of seven- teen he apprenticed himself to the hat- ting trade in Dan- bury, Conn. During his apprenticeship he employed his mornings and even- ings and odd mo-

his examination and was qualified for admission to the bar upon attaining his majority. In 1846 he removed to l'eekskill and opened a hat-store, at the same time keeping up the study of the pro- fession of law. After a period spent in the office of Edward Wells, Esq., he was admitted to practice in the courts of New York. In 1859 he removed to the village of Yonkers, and opened a law-office.

The officers, October 1, 1885, were- Chief Patriarch, Thomas A. Rhodes; H. P., Howard T. Schultz; S. ! He has ever since enjoyed a lucrative practice, and

is now the senior member of the bar in the city. He was initiated into Samaritan Lodge of Odd-Fellows, at Danbury, Conn., September 6, 1843, and joined Courtland Lodge, No. 6 at Peekskill, in January, 1847. He was elected Grand Patriarch of the Grand Encampment of this State in 1850, Grand Master in 1858, Deputy Grand Sire of the United States in 1864, and Grand Sire of the Order throughout the world in 1866. He has been a representative to the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment of this State since 1847, was first made representative from this State to the Sovereign Grand Lodge (then G. L. U. S.) in 1852, and has been a regular attendant at the sessions of that grand body, never having misscd a session since 1800. He is now, with one exception, its oldest continuous member. Mr. Sanders was pres- ident of the Board of Education of School District No. 6, in the city of Yonkers, for three years. Hc has never accepted any other public office. He is a man tall of stature, robust in build, strong of mind and purpose, endowed with a wonderfully retentive memory, of a kind and cheerful disposition, and is widely known and universally respected.

HOME FOR THE AGED AND INFIRM, I. O. B. B.

We introduce this here because it is not a char- itable institution, but the property of an "Order " founded for the benefit of its own members. Each inmate of it has secured for himself the right to be taken care of in it by his own contributions to it through a series of years. It was founded by the First District of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith ("Sons of the Covenant "), a Jewish secret and beneficial order, organized in 1841, of which the soci- ety of this First District extends over thic States of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and the Dominion of Canada. The accumulation of a fund for forming a Home like this was begun in 1856, with an annual assessment of one dollar on each member of the society. In 1876 enongh money had been accumulated to warrant the undertaking of the building. A tract of nine and five-eighths acres of land in Yonkers, at the corner of South Broadway and Valentine's Lanc, was bought for thirty- seven thousand five hundred dollars, and in 1881 the society appointed the following building committee to plan and erect the house, viz .: Joseph Fox, chairman ; Adolph L. Sawyer, Simeon M. Roeder, Solomon Sulz- berger, Sigmund Hamburger, Julins A. Levy, Joseph E Newbinger, Leopold Friedlander, Morris Adler, Beuno Horwitz, Myer Hellman, Julius Bien, Dr. Sigmund Waterman, Louis Lewengood, Joseph Loth, Mayer Zunder, Isaac Wallach, G. A. Herrman, Sig- mund H. Seligman, Isracl J. Salomon and Samuel Levy.

The corner-stone was laid in August, 1881, and on the 28th of June, 1882, the building was dedicated with imposing ceremonies. Addresses were delivered by several members of the society, and also an address

was made by Hon. Samuel Swift, M.D., at the time mayor of Yonkers. The cost of the building was eighty-five thousand dollars, and of the grounds and building together one hundred and twenty-two thou- saud five hundred dollars. The fund accumulated had amounted to $153,933.69, so that the society took pos- session of its fine property not only ont of debt, but even with a surplus in hand of over thirty thousand dollars. The furniture cost about six thousand dol- lars additional, but part of this was met by a Ladics' Auxiliary Society, composed of the mothers, sisters, wives and daughters of members of the order.

The building is an L in shape, having one front of one hundred and twenty-one feet facing westward, and another of seventy-nine feet facing northward. Each arm of it is fifty feet deep, and the whole, in- cluding the mansard finish, is four stories in height. The building lias also a tower seventy-three feet high. The rooms are large and airy, the ceilings are about eleven feet high, and the ventilation is thorough. The building was designed by H. J. Schwartzman, architect, and erected by Messrs. J. & G. Stewart, of Yonkers, masons, and C. W. Klappert's Sons, carpen- ters. Its first floor contains, on the south side of its fine hall, the office of the superintendent, the room of the board of governors, a reception-room for ladies (in which is a very fine testimonial presented to Julius Bien, chief officer of the order, by its mcm- bers) and the rooms of the superintendent and his family, and on the north side, the large dining-room, the kitchen, laundry, store-room and other rooms. The upper floors are principally devoted to the cham- bers of the inmates. On the second floor, in the wing facing northward, is a synagogue, and adjoining this is a handsome parlor. On the fourth floor are the hospital and the servants' quarters. The rooms of the officials are handsomely furnished, and those of the inmates, some of which are for married and others for single persons, are all very neat and com- fortable. The view from the balcony of the building northward is among the most beautiful that can be imagined. It takes in the whole of the densely pop- nlated part of Yonkers, and also the Hudson River all the way to Sing Sing. The building is of brick, and a number of its front windows are of stained glass. Wide gravel walks and drives completely en- circle it, the grounds are well cultivated and adorned, there is a rich and productive garden at hand, and al- together the place presents a peculiarly beautiful ap- pearance.

The income of the Home is about ten thousand dollars a year, derived from the yearly collection of one dollar from cach member of the society, and an annual contribution of two dollars from each member of the Ladies' Auxiliary Society, together with the interest on the surplus already mcutioned. This in- come makes the institution independent of all char- itable donations.

of, was dedicated September 8. 1882, by the Rev. Drs. Kohler and Jacobs. Services are conducted in it by Rev. Veis Traub, an inmate. Louis Fauerbach and his wife were the first superintendent and matron of the Home. Their successors in the position are Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Behrens. The first inmates were ad- mitted June 29, 1882, the day after the Home was dedicated, and the first death of an inmate occurred on the 14th of January, 1883.

The management of the institution is vested in a board of governors, consisting of twenty-one members · of the distriet society. They hold their stated ineet- ings on the first Sunday of every month. A visiting- eommittee of sixty is appointed from the Ladies' Auxiliary Society, and is divided into sub-eommit- tees of two, each of which visits the Home once every month. The first board of governors were Joseph Fox, president ; Henry S. Herrman, vice-president ; Julius Bien, Dr. S. Waterman, Joseph Sulzberger, Louis Lewengood, M. A. Hecksher, Ferdinand Kurz- man, Moses Minzesheimer, Solomon Latz, Joseph Loth, Gustav Simon, Israel Nussbaum, Mayer Zun- der, Isaae Rosnosky, Morris Ballin, William Ben- nett, Moses Klein, Moses S. Hyman, Rudolph Samp- ter and David Wile. But little ehange has yet been made in the board. The number of inmates is now about twenty-five, and the cost per week of keeping them is a little more than two dollars each.

SOCIAL, ATIILETIC AND AQUATIC CLUBS.

The city has many of these. We give a short ae- count of each as furnished to us.

THE YONKERS LYCEUM .- This association, hav- ing for its object the promotion of mental and phys- ical culture, social intercourse and amusement, was organized on the 7th of July, 1868. Its original members were Edward Underhill, Henry M. Under- hill, Edwin M. Jackson, Robert G. Jackson, James Moffat and A. O. Lawrenee. Edward Underhill was the first president. The association was organized under the title of "The Young Men's Lyceum of Yonkers," but in 1872 it was ineorporated under its present name.

Literary entertainments have been given by it at times, and in 1874-75-76 athletic exhibitions were given, consisting of walking, running and jumping matehes, throwing weights, etc. The Lyeenm, how- ever, is chiefly a social club. Its first quarters were on Chieken Island, in the building now occupied by the Fourth Separate Company, of which we shall give an account below. About 1881 they were changed to the Yonkers Savings-Bank building, where the association has a room attractively furnished, pro- vided with three billiard tables, and containing a library of several hundred volumes. It has a mem- bership of one hundred.

The officers for 1885 are John O. Campbell, presi- dent ; E. M. Jackson, 1st vice-president; W. R. Beers, 2dl vice-president; W. R. Mott, recording

secretary ; Randolph Lowerre, corresponding secre- tary ; Edward Underhill, treasurer ; and J. G. San- ger, librarian. The direetors in 1884 were Ethelbert Belknap, H. H. Thayer, J. T. Baker, Charles E. Gorton, W. H. King and W. R. Mott.

SONS OF ST. GEORGE .- COLUMBIA LODGE, NO. 122, of the Sons of St. George, was organized in the spring of 1873. Its first officers were John Rowland, Past Grand President; Edward Underhill, Worthy Presi- dent; Frederick K. Shears, Vice-President ; George Rayner, Jr., Secretary ; and Thomas Tyler, Sr., Treas- urer. The original number of members was twenty- five, but withiu a year or two it has increased to one hundred. But few changes have been made in the offieers. Meetings are held in Odd-Fellows' Hall, in the Warburton Building, on the first and third Wed- nesdays of each month. The President is Joseph Greenhalgh and the Secretary is Thomas E. Hamp- son. Athletie sports are made a prominent feature of the social recreations.

PALISADE BOAT CLUB .- Early in the history of Yonkers its young men turned their attention to aquatie sports, and quite a number of boat clubs have been formed. One of the carliest of them was the "Excelsior," which existed previous to 1867, and another was the " Ivanhoe," whose headquarters were at Glenwood.

In 1866 the Palisade Base Ball Club, which had gained numerous victories on the land, went in search of laurels on the water also. A erew was selected from the membership, which was pitted in a race against the Excelsiors and was beaten. After this the Palisade Boat Club was organized on the 16th of October, 1866, its first membership being largely com- posed of members of the ball club. Henry Amelung was president; J. G. P. Holden, vice-president ; Henry V. Clark, seeretary ; and Henry F. Brevoort, treasurer. Other original members were James G. Woodworth, Hiram G. Smith, M. F. Rowe, Robert Fawcett, J. E. Millard, A. I. Amelung, E. A. Rollins, Joseph H. Jenuiugs and William H. Myers. Iu the following year the elub joined the Hudson River Amateur Association and participated in a grand re- view of clubs belonging to it, which took place at Elysian Fields. It was incorporated March 2, 1868. It participated in raees with the Nereids of Brook- lyn, and the Vespers of Yonkers, in the race with the last of which it won, pulling an eight-oared barge three miles in nineteen minutes. This took place October 7, 1874, the oarsmen being Faial Frazier, H. H. Thayer, W. H. Guernsey, A. Moffat, C. H. Martin, Isaac D. Cole, Robert C. Jackson and W. H. Myers, with H. B. Starr, coxswain. A banquet was tendered to the winning crew at the Mansion House in the evening.
