Jay--Plons in Detail With Cominit- tee. Forty-three years ago on February 19, 1864, at the city of Washington D. C., Justice H. Rathbone conceived the idea during the darkest days of the civil war, of binding men together in fatrernal order for the betterment of mankind, founded upon that beauti- ful lesson of friendship as exemplf1ed in the lives of Damon and Pythias of ancient Syracuse. From small nu- cleus of twelve men, which constituted the entire membership of the first lodge the order has steadily grown, until to-day it has a membership of more than six hundred and eighty thousand.
 To celebrate this noted event. and to fittingly commemorate the birthday of George Washington, on February 22, 1907, at Music Hall, New Haven. Conn.,. the rank of Knight will be conferred upon candidates by a selected team of one hundred Knights, under the direc- ton of the Grand lodge of the Domain of Connecticut.
 This rank will be conferred in full and amplifed form and will be the most beautiful exemplifcation of the ceremonies ever attempted in this do- main.
 All the Grand lodge officers of the domain of Connecticut and the supreme chancellor or vice-chancellor together with the grand chancellors of all the New England domains and the New York and New Jersey are expected. The hall will be opened to all Knights at one o'clock p. rn., when all members of good standing and having the pro per credentials, will be admitted.
 To further celebrate the event, the Past Chancellors association will hold the annual banquet at steinerdt's Atheneum, corner of Court and Orange streets at 8 o'clock p. m., at which time addresses will be made by the su- preme chancellor and Mayor studley, and other speakers of note.
 This celebration promises to be the grandest and most stupendous in the annals of Pythianism in the grand do- main of Connecticut, and much credit is due Grand Chancellor I. P. Turner of Bridgeport for the deep interest he has manifested in all the arrangements.
 The hall will be decorated with the colors of the order, and music will be furnished during the ceremonies.
 Between fifteen and twenty hundred knights will attend the afternoon af- fair, and between three and four hun dred at the banquet in the evening.
