Yesterday was Knights Templar day, and
the many Communicates of the State did
their name and fame full justice on the
pleasant picnic grounds at Pawson Park. Ex-
cellent air encompassed them, cool breezes
frolicked around them and the skies above
had put on their best dress to brighten and
add a finishing touch to the days favors The
barge Juno lay waiting the many gaily uni
formed Communicates at Belle dock. Cyrene
commandery No. 8 of Middletown came
down shortly after O'Clock and about 9
O'Clock Washington commandery No. of
Hartford came along headed by Colts band.
Elmo No. of Meriden and S. Johns No. II
of Willimantic came down on the same train,
and when all were safe safely aboard the
Juno started for Starin's dock. Here they
were Joined by New Haven commandery, 65
strong, who marched from their quarters
headed by the American band. Clark COM
manderv No. of Waterbury, followed with
drum corps.
At half-past ten the pretty little barge
and turned its PROV towards Pawson Park.
The sail was enlivened by many pleasures
and when the park was reached all were
hungry enough to eat dinner right off. The
repast was fine one, full of inviting deli
cacies taken from the sea, and seemed to
please the knights greatly. After few
hours had been pleasantly spent about the
grounds the several Communicates again en-
/ barked and sailed towards New Haven,
which was made at 5 O'Clock. As each COM
pany left the boat it formed in procession
and all shortly started on a street parade.
The handsome uniforms of the knights made
gay show on the street and as they march
ed mp over the bridge on Chapel street their
long lines, broken only by three of the best
bands in the State, presented as bright and
pretty spectacle as one ever saw in pro-
oession. The music of the American and
Colts bands was superb. Among the New
Haven knights were L. 81. johnson, Fred
Waldron, E. S. Quintard, Horace Bowman,
John Ruff, Isaac Bishop, Charles zapp, Allen
B. Baldwin, A. L. Barnes, A. A. Ball, Clark
