candidates, has received the most
favorable comment of the local and
visiting Knights. About 300 Knights
from all parts of Wisconsin and upper
Michigan attended the limitations.

of st. James church. at ST. James

the ladies succeeded well in re-
arranging the tables SO as to accom-
| modate the extra 40. The speakers

by several vocal selections. This was
without question the largest X. C.
initiation ever held in this city. Some
of the visiting knights and their
wives arrived on Saturday and Satur-
day night at 10 O'Clock. Every hotel
was filled, and it was necessary for
the committee to take many of the
brother Knights to the homes of local
! Knights for entertainment. About
300 Knights and ladies, in addition TO
the candidates, were present from
| different parts of the state, among
| whom we're Judge VIM. Conway OF
Grand Rapids, Thos. Delaney of Green
Bay, Patrick E. Stone and John P.
Stone of Tomahawk, VIM. Gleiss and
D, J. Sullivan of Tomah.
The committee in charge is very
much pleased with the courteous
| treatment and efforts of the local
hotel men to accommodate the out-of-
town guests and the officers of the
local council, also sincerely appreciate
the extraordinary accommodation
and kindness of Supt. Ober of the
| Milwaukee road, who consented to
and did arrange the train schedule
Sunday evening for the benefit of the
candidates and visiting Knights from
Grand Rapids, Stevens Point, Niece
dab, Tornah, Lacrosse and other
cities. The train that leaves Wausau
! at 1850 was held over until $50, SO
that the Knights who left on that
train were given an opportunity to
attend the banquet after the degree
work. The committee is indeed
| grateful to Mr.. Ober for this courtesy.
| The Columbia orchestra furnished
splendid music during the banquet
and when "Die Yacht am Rhein''
and snatches from "Marsailles" were
| played, the enthusiasm brought forth
| great applause, which was only ex-
ceeded after the last strains of "It's a
Long Way to Tipperary," were heard;
but it took America" to bring the
happy throng to their feet, and every
voice joined in singing the national
hymn.
