Waco, Texas, Dec 2.--The Masonic Grand Chapter met this morning in the temple, Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter, Rev. P. M. Riley of Grandview presiding, with John A. Ryan, grand secretary of Cleburne in the secretary's chair.

The Grand Lodge will meet Tuesday morning, the Grand Chapter alternating with the Blue Lodge, many of the delegates of the Grand Chapter being members of the Blue Lodge.

John P. Bell of Bellville is grand master of the Grand Lodge and John Watson secretary.

There were very few arrivals in the city last night, but many delegates to the chapter arrived this morning in time to attend the opening session of the Grand Chapter. Many more are expected to arrive today and tonight to attend the sessions of the Grand Lodge, the total number of delegates and visitors being expected to reach near the one thousand mark.

Among the prominent arrivals so far noted are Past Grand Masters Geo. W. Tyler of Belton and A. W. Campbell of Dallas. Assistant Attorney General J. P. Lightfoot of Austin is also here.
