During the banquet the bands occupied
the platform at the head of the hall, and the
Great Western gave some choice selections,
Knights that they even stopped in their
feasting to award hearty applause.
The merry music of knives and forks hav-
ing somewhat subsidized, Eminent Commander
Sir Delos A. Monfort rose, and commanded
attention. He said that the assembly of Sir
Knights to-day was not for mere pageant
and display, but to show that they were not
| ashamed to acknowledge their connection
with the organization to which they beIon ged
and their attachment to that cross
| which adorns their banner. They
| were there assembled for social
intercourse and exchange of social greetings
to strengthen each other in those grand
principles inculcated in the lessons of the
red cross. In abiding to the origin of the
grand order, he expressed hope that each
| member would ever be ready to draw the
sword in the cause of truth, justice and ma
tional liberty. Every organization, he said,
is affected by the character of its leader, and
he would propose the health of tho grand
master of the State Of Minnesota,
| HON. VIM. LoCHRAN.
| At the order all the Sir Knights rose from
their seats.
Eminent Commander-Sir Knights repeat
after me: To the health of our grand
master; long may he live.
| The words were repeated simultaneously
| by all, with glasses elevated above the head.
| Eminent Communicate Glasses to right
shoulder; glasses to the left shoulder
glasses to the lips (they all drink. Be seat
| ed, Sir Knights.
| Grand Master Lochren responded in a
short speech and complimented Sir Knight
Allen upon the munifcent banquet spread
| for their entertainment.
SIR KNIGHT HARRIS.
| Music by the Great Western band fol-
lowed, after which E. G. Monfort again rose
and said he did not wish to make this a
formal, ceremonious meeting but rather a
social one. They had rule, which, like the
law of the Medes and Persians altereth not,
and he hoped the visitors would remember
this and make themselves perfectly at home,
dispense with all formality and try to have a
good time. He would call upon Sir Knight
Harris for speech. That gentleman re-
sponded by reading well-written address,
in which he recalled some portions of the
chivalrous ages. and impressed upon his
hearers the virtues which it was their duty
| as Sir Knights to emulate. The address was
received with prolonged applause.
SIR KNIGHT RANDALL
The health of the eminent commander of
Chippewa commandery was next proposed.
and drank with chop On behalf of Il,
G. Randall Sir Knight Bartlett replied. He
said that he bad been greatly delighted
with the days exercise. The music, the
marching, and now this elegant banquet.
But the grave principles of brotherhood I'M
DERIVING all should not be lost sight of. The
knights of old would press on indomitablv,
irresistably, for veal or woe, but with the
modern knight, he had no Acre to storm, no
Malta to fortify and defend, no blood to
shed, but his warfare surpassed in grandeur,
IN height and depth and breadth of prjnci-
pie, that of tho crusade against Sala-
| din Or the Moor. They had
| something nobler to do than
capture an empty tomb, in the assuaging of
sorrow, ministering to the grief stricken,
down-trodden humanity and building up of
their fellow man.
The gallant Knights speech was a long
and eloquent one, and was followed by I'M
| mense applause. Messrs. Leib, Wood, Buck
aleW and Munger then sang a serenade by
Giebel, after which Sir Knight Murphy asked
| the E. @. to call on the e. c. Of Saltwater,
W. &C. BRONSON,
which was Immediately done, and the gen
tleman's health drank with a rousing cheer.
3. G. Bronson returned thanks for the
magnificent banquet. He thought the bar
quet was due the Bayard commandery, as
being the sons of old Damascus command
cry. "Are we not your son?' he said,
''have you not patted US on the head and
started us on our journey. The day will
never approach when We shall forget from
whence we sprang. No member will forget
the pleasant gatherings" He was not
speech maker, and he was in the
habit of getting substitute. He would now
command-and he was never disobeyed-Sir
Knight Castle to respond for him.
SIR KNIGHT CASTLE
did not think it exactly fair that the eminent
commander should take all the honor and
put all the work on those in the ranks. He
was happy, however, to respond, and was
most thankful for the reception they had re-
ceived. After abiding to the sanguinary
knights of old, Richard and Godfrey,
