lions of the Louisville Con.
clave in August will be the
entertainments of the visiting
communicates. Each Grand
Commandery, representingthe
governing body of the order
IN the representive States,
will open headquarters; that
is a room, a suite of rooms
or a building, where the TEN
plars and their friends will he
welcomed, and where such so
clal functions as the host
cares to give will take place.
More noteworthy, however,
will be the entertainment pro-
vided by some of the subor-
dinate Communicates. Several
of these in different sections
of the country have a national
reputation for the lavishness
with which they dispense hos
pitality while on pilgrimage
to one of the Triennials of the
great order. Notable among
such Communicates is Pitts
burg, No. 1. The Sir Knights
Eof the commandery are famous
as hosts from Boston to San
Francisco. They have rented
Liederkranz Hall for Trien-
NAL week, and will use it ex-
clusively as headquarters.
The Sir Knights themselves
and the members of their par
ty have secured accommoda=
tions at the Louisville Hotel.
An officer of the commandery
is responsible for the state
ment that the sum of $15,0 900
has been set aside out of the
commandery treasury for the
sole purposeOf entertaining"
while in Louisville.
Hardly inferior are the eff
forts at hospitality of the San
Francisco Sir Knights. Cali
fornia CommaDdery, No. l, will

coast style in the Gait House
basement. This commandery
has rooms for 206 persons in
the same hotel. Golden Gate
Commandery, No. Is, which
has quarters for 206 persons
at the Gait House will open
headquarters in the billiard
room. California wines and
fruits, the latter brought on
at the rate of a car load a day,
are noteworthy incidents to
the hospitality dispened by the
Westerners.
Another liberal entertainer
is the Colorado delegation.
The Denver Drill Corps is en-
tered in the competitive drill,
and this fact attracts more
than usual attention to the
party from the Centennial
State.
Henselmann Commandery,
of Cincinnati, has a corps en-
tered in the competitive drill
contest, and the Queen City
Knights avow their intention
of showing how people are
made at home by the Buck
eyes abroad. The comman-
derry has headquarters for 200
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and
on the days of the parade and
of the drill expects to have it's
hands full with the thousand
or more Ohioans who will run
down to Louisville to watch
their representatives in these
important events. Headquar-
tiers will be maintained at the
hotel occupied by the com
mandery. Washington, No.
l, of the national capital, will
give a taste of the style of the
elite East at the headquarters

other that spends money on
anything but "the installment
plan.''
