Knights Templar March" After parade through Church street, to Chapel, to College, to Elm, to Church, and down Meadow street, the company on arriving at the Union depot found the special train, partly filled with the wives, daughters and friends who were to accompany them, waiting. The train left at about 11:5O. The New Haven commandery has accepted an invitation from the Newburyport com mandery to spend Thursday August 29, with them, and will probably en- tertain the Milwaukee, Wis, comman- dery here on their way home.
 THE MERIDEN KNIGHTS, | Meriden, Aug. 26,-St. Elmo com mandery left this place this morning for Boston under command of Emil nent Commander Senator John w. Mix of Yalesville.
 The three rear coaches that were as- signed to St. Elmo commandery had as their occupants ninety sir knights and their ladies, all of the party highly appreciating the beautiful morning and joyously anticipating the pleasures be- fore them at the Hub.
 The sir knights wore fatigue or regu- lation caps, handsome ribbon badges, regulation Boston 95 triennial metal badges, buttons showing the cross and the suggestive baked bean pot and gilded nutmegs suspended from their | button holes by blue ribbons.
 Sir Knight Everitt was christened "E Banner Everitt" by the crowd before the train hove in sight. St. Elmo's beautiful white satin banner will have faithful guardian in Brother Everitt | on the Boston trip. Another happy man was Sir Knight R, W.. Miles, who would persist in rushing through the | car asking the party if "any lady has | lost diamond earring"
 On the outside of the second car was a huge cloth sign, extending the whole l length, which read: tSt. Elmo Com- mandery, No. g. Meriden, Conn.," The rear car was for the baggage.
 The cars were attached to a K T.! l special train at New Haven, thence to be whisked along the Shore Line road I into Boston. The Moodus Drum corps were to be picked up at New London. l Grand Treasurer H. Wales Lines tele- graphed to John w. Coe this morning 1 that he had secured twenty chairs for I the ladies of the party to see the big 1 parade tomorrow.
