The headquarters of this commandery
will be at the Hotel Boston, 1925 Wash
ington street, during their stay in Boston.
The special train which will carry them
across the continent is one OF the most
elegant in all its compartments known to
the railroad world. 1t consists of four Pull
mans, an elegant dining-car, two commits
sary and one quartermaster cars, eight cars
in all, and as fine as the most approved
Judgment and skill of the railways can
furnish.
w. D. Sanborn, the agent of the Burling
ton route, will have charge of the party to
Chicago, where James Mccall, the local
agent of the Erie, will take charge of the
party and pilot them on to Boston.
Chautauqua and at Niagara Falls, arriving
in Boston at noon on Saturday.
Monday of next week they will pay their
respects to the commanderes of Boston.
Tuesday will witness the grand parade, of
which this commandery will form no in
conspicuous feature, as they are body of
most excellently drilled men. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be at least 80, 600 Sir
Knights in line on that occasion. Wednes-

enjoyable bill of entertainment in store
for them during their weeks stay In Boston.

courtesies of California to their Eastern
brethren, as they take along carload OF
the choicest California fruits and wines.
These luxuries when dispensed with the
