Of the Knights Of Columbus. Incidentally,
Sightseeing tours, business meetings,
luncheons, and two large receptions kept
the knights busy during the morning.

from Broad street to the Cathedral at

Archbishop Prendergast celebrated b
Solemn Pontifcal Mass, after which
sermon was delivered by the Rev. John
j. Loughran, of Scranton.

preme Knight James A. Flaherty and
State Deputy A. S. McSwiggan made ad-
dresses, after which the meeting was
called to order for business.
AT o'clock this afternoon another CON

Columbus headquarters, at ;Sth and Mar
ket streets. After the business was at
tended to. the knights went in a body to
