EHB coHGE&vE AND ITS MANAGE
MENP.


It is evident now from the published
proceedings OF the management that the
Knights Templars of California, and espec.
tally OF San Francisco, have made very
complete preparations for the entertain
ment of the visitors expected within the
next few weeke. Certainly on the part of
the committees and the organizations they
represent, the arrangements appear to be
unexceptionsble. The attention TO minor
details is the best warrant for success in all
such affairs. II all the little things are
attended to, it is guarantee that matters
of greater moment have not been neg

management of great concerns, and the

in the history of the State that any
