The joint committee Of the Baltimore and
Washington Communicates Of knights Templar,
having in charge the arrangements for the
pilgrimage to San Francisco on the occasion
Of the 22d TrienniaI Concave of the Grand
Encampment X. T., OF the U. s., to be held
next month. have thus far been very sue
cessful, even beyond their expectations. Over
one hundred tickets have been sold. and from
the present outlook it is probable that some Of
those contemplating the trip, who procrastinate
much longer, will not find room, as the number
OF tickets Is positively limited. The committee
have selected for a name for the party that of
1.-The Atlantic club Knights Templar, of Balti-
more and Washington" They will leave Wash
ington on Tuesday. August 18th, at $50 a. m,
on a special train of elegant sleeping cars of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which train they
will retain and occupy throughout the entire
trip TO San Francisco and return. This will be
the first train to run from Washington to San
Francisco and return without change-a dis
lance of about G. 800 miles. Sir Knight Crump,
30 well known as steward at the White House
under Presidents Hayes and Garfield. is to do
the catering, and it is unnecessary to say that
under his mana cement that very essential part
of the pilgrimage will be success.
Those participating In this pilgrimage will enjoy
rare advantages. both as regards railroad and
other rates, as well as in the way of superior
accommodations. No effort has been spared by
those having the details in charge to insure
realization OF the most ardent anticipation, and
the trip throughout will be one of constantly
changing interest and the expense so light IN
comparison as to be remarkable. The trip
across the continent from the shores Of the At
lantic to the great rivers and lakes OF the west,
and on to the shore of the Pacific, Is of itself,
without taking into consideration sleeping-cars,
meals &c, ordinarily an expense almost, if not
quite. equal to the entire cost of the coming pill
grimage.
In san Francisco several parlors on the Sec
0nd floor of the Russ house have been secured
for a headquarters. Here the club will hang
cut its banner for ten days and dispense Mary
land and Washington hospitality and the
rooms being eligibly located. the ladies of the
party will have fine opportunity to view the
grand parade, rest themselves, &c.
