KNIGHTLY COURTESIES.

On Thursday of last week about
200 Knights, many accompanied by
ladies, visited their brothers of the
Corunna commandery Despite the
ram, all report good time. The St.
Johns Republican, edited by Sir
Knight Fuller, contains the following:
Fifty-hve members of the St. Johns
commandery: accompanied by Is
ladies and the K. T. band, visited
the Corunna commandery at Owosso
last Thursday. They were met at the
depot by a large delegation of the
Corunna commandery and escorted
to their pleasant and commodious
lodge rooms, where, in spite of the
gloomy day and pouring rain, thev
spent happy afternoon in social
greetings and dancing. About six
o'clock they were escorted to the
opera house where an elaborate ban
quet had been prepared by the ladies
of the Episcopal church. The tables
were loaded with all the delicacies of
the season, decorated with a pro.
fusion of beautiful flowers and at
tended by the fairest of walters. The
feast rapidly disappeared, amid
strains of inspiring music furnished
by the Owosso cornet band, who oc-
cupied the gallery. The St. Johns
delegation voted the Owosso and
Corunna Knights and their ladies
royal entertainers and felt more than
repaid for their visit.
