TOKENS OF REMEMBRANCE.
SENT BY THE LOS ANGELES
( KNIGHTS TEMPLAR,

Sacramento Commandery and the
Ladies' Drill Corps Are the
Gratified Recipients.
When the Grand Conclave of knights
Templar was held here in April, Sac
ramento Commandery and the citizens
of Sacramento exerted themselves to
make the occasion as pleasant as pos
sible to all the visiting Communicates.
Among these was Los Angeles Com
mandery, and the members expressed
themselves freely as being gratified at
the pains taken to render their visit
a pleasant one, and hoping that they
might next year be able to reciprocate
in kind. Other Communicates spoke to
the same effect.
They did not forget the pleasure they
had received, but on their return home
began to cast about for some means
OF expressing their sentiments and the
result of their conference is apparent
Past Commander E. A. Hale, who was
at the time of the Conclave Eminent
Commander of Sacramento Comman-
derry, this week received two elegant
testimonials of appreciation from Los
Angeles Commandery, which have
been framed appropriately and placed
on exhibition for, a day or two in, the
show window of his store. They are
splendid specimens of ornamental pen
work and coloring, such as is seldom
seen, and will be much appreciated for
their beauty, as we'll as the sentiments
they convey to the members of the
Commandery and Ladies' Drill Corps
The greeting to Sacramento Comman-
derry is a work of art.
