WESTWARD HO:

Lancaster Countians Going to Chicago.
The parade of Knights Templar in Chi
cago this week promises to be the most
imposing and magnificent demonstration
of its kind ever seen in this country, and at
this time thousands Of people are journey
ing to that city from every part Of the
country to witness tho display or to take
part in the festivities of the week. The
most elaborate preparations for these
events and for tho entertainment of the
multitude of strangers expected have been
made by the people of Chicago, and the
low rates of excursion fare obtained from
the companies, contributed greatly to Sc
cure 4 larger attendance than would have
been had otherwise.
The faro from Lancaster and return hav
ing been fixed at >1S, many members Of
the order and others availed themselves of
it to make tho trip to the great West, and
although tho Lancaster cOmmandery will
not go as 4 body SO many members Of it
will be in Chicago, that had their number
boen anticipated arrangements might
| easily have been made to secure their
presence in tho parade with force that
| would have elected favorable comparison
with many of the communicates expected
| to be in line
We have noticed already the departure
of u number Of persons, some going in adj
vance to visit friends in Chicago oren route,
and some by way of Reading, with an ex-

mcr house. Some others who intend going

persons going from this section left Lam
caster at II a. M. yesterday in tho Chicago
| express, which was expected to reach that
city some time before noon today. A
