Commandery No. of California has
published a long account of it's itinerary.
The members who come from here are to
make grand pleasure trip and sight
seeing excursion Of the occasion, and will
probably spend more money than any
Others who will come. copy an extract
from the printed account which they
have published of their plans, pertaining
to their stay in Vermont, which shows
that they are coming with full appreci-

"At $50 p. NJ. the commandery will
be in the classic shades OF Newport, VT,
on the banks of the world-renowned
Lake Memphremagog, at the summit Of
the Green Mountains. At this elevation
the commandery quartette will be invit-
ed to sing The Star Spangled Banner
while the bugle corps will play he grand
accompaniment. How BETTING to have
Sir Knight Burns, the standard bearer,
wave the Stars and Stripes in the air,
which a century ago echoed with the
rifle shots of the Green Mount ain Boys.
Will any of those departed brothers
materialize, for the moment, in our
honor? If so, present swords
An invitation having been received
from Malta commandery 10 Of Newport,
VT, to accept their Inequalities and to
enjoy ride on the lake, stop of several
hours will here be made, and soon after
our arrival we will embark on the beau-
tiiu steamer, the Lady of the Lake,
chartered by Malta commandery 10 for
the occasion. For awhile this floating
beauty will be ours, so we will take off
our spurs and transform ourselves into
veritable sailors. The steamer will be
under the command of Commodore
Edwin B. True, the eminent commander
of Malta commandery, assisted by that
veteran navigator, Sir Knight George T
Bromley, as first mate, who was never
known to miss taking latitude and long
itude, even when the whole ships COM
panv has been more than half seas
over and all hands busy paying tribute
to Neptune,
This sail will be memorable. For the
time being we will be rovers on the
mighty deep, ifnot freebooters on the
ships lockers. A fine equal to the value
of California gold slug will be imposed
upon every Sir Knight who seeks the
seclusion which the cabin grants.
Every able-bodied seaman on deck is
the order of Commodore Bromley, as he
sings, Happy are we tonight, boys, in
his inimtable way.
Supper will be served at the Lake Mem
phremagog House, where each Sir
Knight can fill an aching void ad libi-
tum. Here Sir Knight George A. Knight,
the distinguished California attorney,
will thrill us with his eloquence as he
speaks to us of the immortal worthless of
1776." MAX BENNETT THRAsHER.
