knights TempIar COncIave at Chi

The members Of the Finance Committee
oS the triennial concaye OF Knights TPm-
plar TO be held at Chicago on August l7th
are engaged this week in the enormous
task OF soliciting subscriptions from prOmi-
nent citizens toward the entertainment fund
OF the conclave. Forty thousand dollars
have already been subscribed, but the COM
mittee want Sl25,000.
The Inter. ocean says that the prepara-
tons for the COhclaye are assuming out
ward and visible shape. The various COM
mittees, who have been working quietly but
theoretically for months-nay, years-are
now showing their bandiwork. Decora-
lions on wholesale scale have been in pro-
cress for weeks, and are now rapidly APP
proaching completion. The Exposition
building has been scrubbed, and the deco
rators are now at work there. The Con-
claye Cathedral, on the Lake-FrOnt Park.
has been commenced, aud will probably be
completed within two weeks.
The Executive Committee OF the Trien-
NAL Conclaye wish TO be understood that
they are thoroughly able 10 provide quarters
for all who come to the COnclaye, whether
Tempars or otherwise. While all the ho-
tels are full, they can be assigned TO elegant
and comfortable rooms in private houses.
From 10, 600 TO $4,000 more persons can be
accommodated before the committee will
cry, ..Hold, enough" 1t must ut the same
time be remembered that only Sir Knights
will be "messed" by the committee: their
visiting friends will be we'll accommodated,
but the "mess rosters" are designed and
calculated upon for Sir Knights only.
With regard to the monster ball few re-
marks may not be inappropriate. The mum.
ber OF invitations is limited to 10000. OF
this number 1900 invitations are allotted to
residents OF Chicago and suburbs, $4,000
are held for The visiting Sir Knights and
their friends, and the balance have been
sent TO the various Grand Communicates OF
the United States and Canada. No gentle
man, whether in Templar uniform or other.
wise, will be admitted without the small
black.and.gold card.
The invitations were very iudicously
sent, and it is very probable that few, IL
any, persons entitled to this recognition mas
been overlooked. All the invitations were
distributed before the committee asked the
citizens for doilarfor expenses.

A snnd or Baptized Believers.

AN INDEPENDENT COLORED BAPTIST CHURCH
| RECOGNIZED-No COMPROMISE WITH THE
HOLMES PARTY.
| A council Of the officers and leading
members OF all the colored Baptist churches
0f Richmond and Manchester was held at
the new cOlored church on Fifth street
lately occupied ss German Lutheran
church. There was only one entrance 10
the church-yard, land this was guarded by
two sable sentineis. To each person
presenting himself the question was
put. do YOU belong To the First
Bantist church ?" II the answer was
"No" this was the "open sesame"
and the party were admitted. II "ies,"
no enlreafy or persuasion could induce The
stern custodans 0f the inner gate TO admit
them. These worthless were Argus-eyed,
and while they watched in front, also Kept
casting furtiye 2laDces to the right. left, and
rear, lest some OF the unholy and prescribed
should creepin. When the Dispatch reporter
came up be assured The advance prelate
that be did not belong To the First African
church, and. in fact, 10 no African church;
hut, alas, all reporters had been placed
upon the footing Of the common enemy. and
could not be admitted. The reporter was
told firmly but respectfully that the meet
ing was private one, and that Il report
would be furnished by the secretary. An
official account OF the proceedings will be
found in The advertising columns, where it
was inserted by request.
Ii was generally reported that the meet
ing would take some further action in re-
ference to the Holmes affair. Ii they did it
has not transpiIed. The seeding members
Of that church, who comprise the member
ship OF the new church. will probably con-
tent themselves with refusing 10 recognize
the old African church membership, and
will no doubt endeayor to prevail upon the
other colored churches in the city to follow
their example.
The meeting yesterday evening was
largely attended. Representatives were
present from all the cOlOred Baptist
churches females rs we'll as males being
admitted.
Elder Evans Payne acted as moderator,
and W. III. Brooks as secretary.
Preamble and resolutions were offered by
J. 5. Turner recognizing the Band OF Bap.
lized Believers worshipping at the Fifth

ent Church.

TIE OPERA TO-MORROw NIGHT.-Mr. and
Mrs. Bernard have acted wisely, we take it,.
in giving the initial performance Of their
new opera The Duchess " before Rich
mond audience; for while our people are
critical. they are very just, and know how
to appreciate merit. And since the work,
which has all the elements OF success in It,,
will be entrusted TO such capable artists as
Mrs. Richings- Bernard, Miss Rogers, MIR.
Hon, and Mr.. Greensfelder, the authoress
and composer may rest assured that lis re-
ception will be gratifying both 10 them and
their audience. "The Duchess" will be
given at Mozart Hall tomorrow night, and
it i, likely that there will be great out
pouring Of the Richmond music-lOying pub
hc. 1t would only be fitting tribnle to
the renowned songstress Madame Caroline
Riching Bernard and her talented husband,
who have come to make Richmond their
home, that their opera, which j. really
meritoriouS. should receive the first and
cordial endorsement at their hands. More
over, the object for which the opera is given
should insure a crowded house for both
Friday and Saturday nights, since each
member OF the Guard OF the Common
wealth will consider it his personal duty to
500 IN IT.
