Three new castles were instituted in New

A new drill manual is to be compiled by
Lieutenant General Louis {. Stilz, the sword
movements being the same.
There are now IS grand castles, and the order
Is established in IL other States where no grand
castles have been instituted.
Acme Castle No. S52 turned out in the parade
with all its membership excepting four men,
who could not possibly get excused from work.
Pride of Alton No. 170. located at Willow
Grove, came into the parade with almost its
full membership. 1t certainly made fine
Showing.

one-year term just ended instituted 20 castles
and added four new States-Montana, Rhode
Island, Mississippi and Wyoming.
The Supreme Castle has appointed commit
tee on jewels for the military branch and

tablished in Is StaIes including six regiments
two brigades in Pennsylvania, and one regi-

came the farthest distance was awarded prize
accordingly, which it certainly was entitled to.
1t was accorded continuous applause through
out the line of march.
The General Committee will have a meeting
next Thursday evening. at which time IL is ex-
pected that all the members will be present, in
1a1
adjournment sine die.
Mt Penn Commandery, of Reading, which
was awarded the prize of a silver water service
for general efficiency certainly deserved it.
Their marching was beyond the expectations of
the most critical, and as escort TO the Chief
Marshal was certainly worthy of the position it
held in the parade.

the castle in Allegheny county winch turned
out in the parade with the largest number of
men in proportion to their membership, con-
sists of Past Grand Chief A c. Lytle, of

phla. Pa The castles which have not already
