When the Trisnnisl Conclsve was held in
Chicago in 1880, California sent large and
most creditabie representation to that great
assemblage. When the fact of their coming
was made known, st. Bernard Conmandery,
No. 80, of Chicago, determined TO give their
fraters right royal welcome, and succeeded
most admirably. In order to render the re-
ception Of the Californisns more impressive,
at the sams time agreeable, thirteen members
by a full quartet and band, proceeded to
Council Bluffs, eco miles distant from Chi.
cago, and there awaited their coming. Their
train WAS magnificent one, elegantly deco
rated and filed to repletion with everything
appetizing and pleasant. When the
Knights from California reached Council
Bluffs they were confronted with lordIy
welcome that surprised and pleased them.
This WAS but forerunner Of the courtesiss
to be extended by the St. Bsrnards, for after
the arrival of the Californisns IN Chicago
their courtesy and attention knew 10 bounds.

this year that something handsome should be
done il tie way OF recipr3caiion. The s..
