YELLOWSTONE AND
TRIENNIAL C0NCLAVE.
A Journey of Three Weeks Filled With Sightseeing
and Pleasure

On the lst of August, the editor of
this paper started out with a party
on the Racine Commandery Special, .
its ultimate destination being Denver,
TO attend the 32d Triennial Conclave
of the Grand Encampment of Knights
Templar The Racine plan for at
tending the Triennial Conclave of the
Grand Encampment, for many years
past, has been very admirable. 1t is
an organization the members of which
pay a stated sum monthly, which at
the end of three years is sufficient to
defray the expenses of the journey, at
the same time to enjoy side trips to
some Of the most famous places of
scenic beauty of our country. Since
its inception, this club, if it may so
be termed, has had it's affairs in the
hands of Milton NJ. Jones of Racine,
and he has made each trip one of un-
told pleasure, having the details of
the itinerary so completely and care
fully arranged that one could look
forward with certainty and know
what was going to take place every
moment of the journey. In the trip
just completed of over 1000 miles, the
itinerary was carried out, almost to the
moment as schedules; the very best
OF service on train, in meals and side
trips, was had, withOu. the least
friction whatever, all be Iuse Mr..
Jones personally looked after the de-
tails. The train was in charge of
Harry V. Wilmot of Milwaukee, Dist.
Passenger Agent of the G.. NJ & st.
Paul road, and was composed of three
steel Pullman coaches, with dining,
observation and baggage cars. In the
latter was steam plant which gener-
ated electricity to light the entire
train and operate fans, three of which
were in each Pullman car.
