 KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
 The theme of conversation in all the lodges is the New Haven excursion this week. Livery important detail, with some slight aitera1lon for the better has been arranged and there \ is every reason to believe that not less than 200 will participate with the pronaDlnty or ! fifty more making application for tickets on the day of the departure. The party will as- semble on Tuesday evening at the Academy of Music, the doors of which will be open at o'clock. The line will form at o'clock sharp. Marshal c. c. Chaplain will have charge of the men and will select his aides at that time. The members will leave the Academy headed by Voss' band in time to take the 9:55 train at the Broad street depot. The members are re- quested to be at tine Academy as soon after o'clock as possible with their tickets, for which the regular tickets, cane, badge, &c., will be exchanged. When the members ar ] rive in New York they will be met by del eeation of five from New Haven, who Will escort them to their boat and see that they are made comfortable there. It has been de- cided. in view of the number that are going ii ! boat. to have the breakfast served at the ! rink in New Haven, which is ten minutes walk from the steamboat landing. This change is made at the suggestion of the company, and Will pet | ter satisfy the New Haven breth- ren and the arrangement committee of this | city and also give greater comfort to the | members. At New Haven, as far as can be learned the arrangements are complete Chairman Benton, through whose energy ev- cry detail would have been carried out, was suddenly stricken with sickness few weeks ago and the arrangements were somewhat de- layed. The work was taken up by others, however, and it is expected that nothing will be lacking when the party arrives. At the clambake at Savin Rock there will be nota- ble gathering. Past Supreme Dictator Cummings, Supreme Dictator Sloat ana other supreme officers and representa- tives will surely be present. It is absolutely necessary that Chairman Baker should know how many are going on the excursion, and those who have failed to secure their tickets should do so at once. The members may de pend upon being home on Thursday morning by 7 o'clock. Surprising interest is manifested in the New Haven excursion by the lodges adjacent | to Newark A number of the lodges have selected a representative, whose expenses ! they will pay, and others will turn out 8 | larger delegation, in proportion, than many of the city lodges. The interest in the trip | took decided jump yesterday, and last ! evening many other members decided that | they would go. There will be a
 final meeting of the co1nnittee to-mor: TOW evening, probably at the Academy of ! Music Notice will be given by the chair | man by mail. The attendance of every mem K Der is desired, as the full reports of the &C., 1 tual number going must be given.
 Passaic and Phil Kearney lodges, which meet on Tuesday evening, will adjourn early ! to allow their members to join the party who ! are going to New Haven.
 Chairman Baker received an interesting letter from the chairman of the arrangement ! committee of New Haven last evening, giv- | ing further particulars as to the arrange ments for the reception on Wednesday. The ! Mayor and number of the members Of the Common Council of New Haven are Knights, | and the former, with the entire Council have ! accepted an invitation to review the visitors | on Wednesday morning. The Mayor has in- vited a number of State officials to witness | the procession and participate in the festivi- | ties The letter also states that the arrange ! ments for breakfast at the rink have been | perfected and that every person will be sup ! piled with substantial meal, and that it can be enjoyed with comfort. The largest and best band in the city has been engaged for | the day. Professor Voss has promised that | no band shall furnish any better music than \ his The committee suggests that every I member bring pair of white gloves with him on Tuesday evening. This should be | remembered, so as to have the equipment uniform
