and we shall have a carriage drive
from Manit0u to Colorado springs

The Frisco commandery while l
was there passed a resolution to
send out a delegation of SO Knights
to meet US at Reno, $50 miles from
San Francisco, and just at the
commencement of the mountain
scenery. We shall arrive in San

will be taken up with drills, parades,
etc., and on that day we will take
part in laying the corner stone OF
Garield's monument, which is being
erected in the public park. Saturday
we will have a grand d. ess parade
and a prize drill. The st. Bernard
Cemmandery will take along the
champion banner, won from the
Raper Commandery, and which
belongs to the st. Bernard now
beyond dispute, as the limited time
has passed without a challenge.
The commapdery will enter the lists,
and the technical prize drill,
in which five trophies are offered
The trophies are among the finest
specimens Of art-WOrkmanship that
can well be imagined. Only three
communicates have as yet entered,
but it is expected that there will be
others. These three are the st.
Bernard Of Chicago, Kaper of IN
dianapolis, and Demlay, No II, of
Louisville. Our visit to San Fran
cisco will be a continual round of
hospitality, receptions, public enter
tainments, etc. There will be re.
representatives. at the Triennial
convention from nearly every COM
mandery in the United States
but New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, st. Louis and Chicago are the
only places that send special trains.
Most of the representative from
other places will join one or other Of
these excursion partifs. We shall
leave San Francisco on the return
trip on August 26th, and will come
right through without stopping at
any place on the way, The same
train that takes US there will bring
us back. st. Demands Commandery
