Grand Masonic Gathering.
CH,o,eo. Dec. l9-Regarding the next
sonolaye of the Knights Templar. in
ssn Francisco, much interest is felt
here because OF the large number who
viIl 20 from this vicinity, and because
the last conclave was held in Chicago.
Local papers say the elaborate prepara
tions beinp made in San Francisco In
dicate that the next will be at least as
magnificent as the last conclaye. AS
srly as April, 1881, the Commander OF
California appointed a triennial com
mittee, and placed in their hands the
nanagement of and preparations for
he conclave. The committee has held
monthly mestings, and in addition has
subcommittee engaged in gathering
Information. and laying out the work.
Two great subjects Of inquiry are, OF
course, railroad fares and hotel accom-
modatlons. and already they are able
to announce greatly reduced rates from
St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and 9TH
or points west of the Mississippi river,
and also the probability is that fare
from any given point TO San Fran
cisco and return will not exceed one
fare for the round trip. The outlook
for hotel accommodations seems equally
good. The first class hotels of the city
afford 1870 sleeping rooms, and the ad.
jaoent city Of Oakland has 800 more
The committee offer TO engage quarters
In hotels or in private houses, and guar
antee that there will be no extortion il
charges. The program thus far made
Up includes a grand parade on Monday
August Oth, the day before the OPENING
Of thegrand oonclave. There will be
promenade concert, ball and competi
tive prize drill during the week. Ere
