Other Lodge Notes.
Hugh DePayen's Drill Corps and Sir
Knights started ON their pilgrimage to
Washington this afternoon. They char
tered special cars. A Pullman coach was
provided for the ladies who went with
them The Sir Knights, their ladies and
guests assembled at the Pennsylvania
Railroad depot at two o'clock and the
train left ten minutes later.
The Sir Knights wore their handsome
uniform. The Quartermaster attended
to the baggage and arranged for coaches
at Washington to convey the ladies to the
Rochester House, where the Commandery
will establish its headquarters. They en-
gagged their rooms last spring and were
wise, as it Is impossible now to engage q
room at q hotel at the Capitol, even the
public halls have been rented and many
visitors will sleep on cots.
1t is predicted that thirty thousand Sir
Knights will be in the parade. The GEN
eral Committee has purchased eighty
thousand cigars, and this will not be suffi-
cient The Pennsylvania Sir Knights
have appropriated $40, 600 to be expended
in entertaining Sir Knights who call at
their headquarters. The st. Louis Com
manderies have invited all brothers to
drop in and see them. They have s25, 900
TO spend, and the Texas Sir Knights have
extended an invitation to all to drop in
and see them at any time, as their rooms
will be open from sunrise to sunrise,
meaning they will not be closed during
the conclave.
