KNIGHTS TEMPLAR In TOWN.
Pilgrim Members Stop Off En-
Route to Denver.
They Are Taken in Hand and Entertained BY
the Local Communicates = Trip
to Monterey To-Day.

The town is full of Knights Templar hav-
ing fun, and another large delegation IS ex-
pexted in to-day to participate in a short
season of feasting and general joy with the
local knights.
Yesterday forenoon a band of pilgrims
comprising the Denver Club reached this city
from the north, en- route to the Triennial
C0nclave of Knights Templar which opens
at Denver on the Sth of August.
The party numbered 100. including wives
and friends. and is made up with Knights
from the Communicates of Philadelphia and
vicinity. In some way unknown to the
local Templars at the time the schedule as
published in the itinerary became "pied"
and the club arrived one day ahead of time.
Consequently all previous arrangements
were upset, but the San Francisco Knights
came to the rescue and the visitors were
royalty received and entertained on very
short notice.
The cause of the early arrival was
the dropping of Victoria. B. c., from
the route. That town is in the midst of
smallpox scare and the travelling knights
did not care to luXuriate in anything they
can enjoy at home in season. When the
news OF the near approach Of the club was
teegraphed a committee from California
COmmandery no. l. consisting of Captain
J. II. Burns, W. H. Davis w. a. Davies.
j. 7. Frazier, John +. Logan and NJ john
son, went as far as Woodland. met the dele
gates and escorted them to the city.
They were received at the ferry by repre-
sentatives of Golden Gate Commandery No.
16 and escorted to the Palace Hotel, where
apartments had been provided for the guests
during their stay In town. There had been
no time to prepare formal reception, but
the committee was lavish in floral displays
and provided each room with a handsome
bouquet OF fresh flowers. As the travellers
were greatly fatigued the day was spent in
resting. The men OF the party wear uni
form Norfolk jackets of gray and soft
travelling hats.
