RETURN OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR-A
CORDIAL RECEPTION.-Thc first detachment
OF Richmond Commandcry, No. 2, Knights
Templar, returned Yesterday from the pill
grimage to Philadelphia. They were re-
ccivcd at the York river depot in fine style
by the Sir Knights who had remained at
home and other Masonic brethren.
They were escorted from the depot by 4
committee Of reception consisting of Messrs.
p. Weisiger, G.. p. Bigger, J.. Z. Riddick,
Thomas II. Wynnc, W. III. Grew, G.. K.
Pace, and others, and here their eyes and
appetites were cheered by Il vision of the
mammoth "Blues' bowl" well-iiled with
claret punch, while on side-table i plenti-
ful lunch was spread.
Sir knight Powhatan Weisigcr gave the
returning brethren Il Templar's greeting
in the words, :" Sir Knights, greet you
Silver and gold have / none, but such ~ |
have / give you. Walk into my tent and
refresh yourselves. Here is good bread and
pure wine-just such as pilgrims need to
cheer them on their way"
Sir Knight g.. w. p. Brock. responding,
proposed toast to st. John Commandery,
No. 4, of Philadelphia, and related several
interesting incidents Of the late pilgrimage.
Sir Knight J. A. Scott proposed De Mo-
lay and Boston Communicates, with whom
the Richmond knights had had most
agreeable rctinion.
Sir Knight Thomas Dodamead. as native
of Philadelphia, proposed Richmond Com
mandery, No. =, and made al interesting
statement concerning the attentions paid
the brethren Of this city on their recent
visit. Though Il small body, he said their
appearance had everywhere been greeted
with enthusiasm. He mentioned, also,
the fact that the action Of the Rich
mond Knights in uncoyering their
heads as they passed Independence Hall
raised such Il storm Of applause that the
music of two bands could not be heard.
Sir Knight Jonn F. Regnault, our Emf
ncnt Commander, was frequently mistaken
for, and generally pointed out aS, General
Robert K. Lee. Ofcourse he was the observed
of all Observers. One negro said he knew it
was Mas Robert, rs he used to belong to
him. Once or twice he was treated to three
cheers under this misrepresentation.
Each of the toaSts proposed were drunk
with hearty good will, and after some time
spent in social intercourse the brethren dis
persed. ....
Some of the Knights Templar have gone
to the Boston Peace Jubilee, and Others
have tarried in New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore.
The Knights all speak in enthusiastic
terms of the York River line, by which
they went to Baltimore; and also Of the
kind treatment which they received at the
hands of Rev. Brother George Jacobs and
other friends in Philadelphia.
