KNIGHTS IN FORCE
Templars From All Parts Of the
Country Pouring Into
Boston.
Railroads Taken Completely by
Surprise in the Matter of
Visitors.
It Will Be a Difficult PrOblem>tO
Get Them All in on
Time.

BosroN, Aug. 27.-Kmghts Templar
and their ladies from every section OF
the United States. and visitors from
every nook and corner Of New England,
have been pouring into the city by the
thousands. One hundred communicates
including over 3. 500 sir knights, arrived
at the different railroad stations before
noon. and before night 90 more delega-
tions will arrive.
The first commandery TO put in its ap-
pearance was Holycroid Of Pennsylvania.
There were 100 sir knights and 50 ladies
in the party which was due TO arrive at
3 a. m. The train was late bat came III
soon after dawn.
Among the delegations when nave
arrived were IL &c mmanderies from llh-
nuis, inc.udiEg Chicago CO TnminCerE, tne
grand cGnmanaesy Of Colorado; Two
from - nth Dakota, two from indian
Territory and Oklahoma commandery o1
California.
knights are Everywhere.
The city was astir early TO greet the
host of strangers. Before the sun was
fairly up strains Of music were heard
in the streets as resident cOmmanderleS
moved towards the depots to meet and
escort early arrivals. Before midday
so many bands We're out the air was full
Of music. One could not go more than
q block or two down town without meet
ing at least one body Of Knights.
A great feature of the gathering this
year is the great number of visitors who
are attracted simply as spectators. All
trains from New England points are
late from one to two hours, and glance
at the hotel registers shows that there
is hardly town. village or hamlet III
all the six New England states that is
not represented.
Surprised the Railroads.
The railroad men have been taken
completely by surprise, but they are
making hurried plans to meet the emer
gency. and say they expect to bring III
over $4,000 people before the parade
starts, besides those from the suburban
towns that make up greater Boston.
The only meetings are those devoted
to committee work, relating to the hous
ing of visiting communicates. The ex
cursion steamer Cignus, which has beeI
chartered for the entire week, made two
trips down the harbor, carrying 1,2o'
passengers each time.
