About 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon
a special train of eight cars, including
one special and six handsome Pullman
sleepers, arrived in the city and were
met at the new depot by C@ur de Lion
Commandery No. 0, of Los Angeles,
who received them with all the honors
Of the Order in such cases. After an
introduction and Misunderstanding all
round, the visitors were escorted 10 the
dining-room Of tho Los Angeles Hotel,
where sumptuous repast was pro-
yided by Mr.. Clawson, in his ele-
giant dining-room, which was elabo-
rately decorated with the banners
Of the Sir Knights. The C@ur de Lion
Commandery then marched back to
their headquarters and were dismissed.
In their march and parade. they were
led by the Los Angeles Union band, in
their new aud elegant uniforms.
The meeting and greeting was most
cordial, enthusiastic and gratifying to
all concerned. The large crowd of citi-
gems who met the visitors at the depot,
showed the respect which they enter
tanned for this fine delegation of repre-
sentative men, who had crossed the con-
tinent at unlimited expense, to meet and
greet their brethren Of the same mystic
tie ON the Pacific Coast, and to renew
their friendly relations and inquire into
their prosperity and welfare. The Bos-
ton Commandery are fine body of gen
tlemen Of ample fortune and genteel
accomplishments, and largely accom-
panied by the wives and other lady
members Of their families. The ladies
and gentlemen appeared much pleased
with the sunny skies and the orange
groves and vineyards of Los Angeles,
aud one lady remarked to HERALD
reporter that it was "a very pleasant
day." but on being informed that the
day was three months long. she looked
incredulous and amused,
After doing justice to the Widespread
dinner, the Sir Knights distributed
themselves about the city. Some rode
around town, some went to headqnar-
tiers. in the Nadeau Block, others went
to church in the evening. The party
divided up for the night, part of them
going to the Pico House and the Cosmo-
politan, while some remained on board
Of their elegant cars at the depot. Yes
terday all the available carriages in the
city were put into service to carry the
distinguished guests about the city and
over to the San Gabriel Valley, taking
in Pasadena. Sierra Madre Villa, and
the venerable Mission San Gabriel and
the great wineries. They are individu-
ais who appreciate attention and adnire
the beautiful, and were free to express
their admiration of what they saw, ate
and drank. Many expressed their sur
prise and delight at the bountiful hospi-
tality which they met from the people
Of Los Angeles, and declared that there
was in this world but zone California
and one Los Angeles"
