Sir Knight Frank H. Thomas, who has re-
Gently been elected one of the directors of the
New York Accident Insurance Company, re-
lates very pleasant incident which happened
to him on a recent business trip. He was
knighted some years ago in Bay City Com
mandery, Michigan, and on boarding his
train at Syracuse for Albany noticed that
Pullman with a placard bearing the legend
ebay City Crusaders was attached to the
train. A pleasant surprise awaited him, when,
attracted by the name, he entered the car and
found about thirty of his old fraters who
were going to Albany to join Temple Com
mandery, of that city, in a pilgrimage to
Europe. 1t is unnecessary to state that his
stay in Albany was prolonged until the en-
tire party, numbering 296, left for New York.

France, Switzerland, Germany and Holland

points OF interest in those countries.
