MYSTIC sHRINER CARAVAN TO
 ~JorRSEY TO OSWEGATCHl

More than 2,O00 Mystic Shriners are expected to be in New London and Oswe- gatchie on Aug. 20 for ceremonial, a parade, a banquet and an entertainment, to be arranged for the nobles and for their women friends. The Shriners who will come are affiliated with Pyramid temple, Bridgeport. of the oasis of Con nectieut. and they will come from the southern part of the state.
 The tentative plans for the event pro- vide that officers of Pyramid temple are to. start from the Connecticut state line at Greenwich at o'clock on the morning of Aug. 20, in automobiles, preceded by several motorcycle police, to clear the road, and followed by several automo- piles containing buglers, and then many automobiles with Shriners from various towns and cities through which the cara van will pass At each town and city Shriners will join the procession and by the time New Haven is reached it is ex- pected that there will be 2,000 nobles in | the caravan, all wearing the fez. It is expected that the Shriners and the ladies will reach the Hotel Mohican at noon, and arrangements will be made to serve the ladies a luncheon. The 1 Shriners will go. direct to the state aJnory, where the candidates will re- ceive the degree and luncheon will be served at the armory to the nobles. i Following the ceremonl al at the armory a street parade will be held.
 i Following their luncheon at the hotel the ladies will go to Oswegatchie by spe cial trolleys and after the parade tht nobles will join them A tent will b' erected on the Miner lot at Oswegatchie underneath which the bake will be served and possibly some circus stunts provided
 for the benefit of the party.
 Following the bake. there will b' water sports and a general good time In the evening there will be dancing.
 Fully 75 candidates for the Shrine de
 gree have already been obtained in Nev London and it is likely thai number o
 candidates will be brought with the car
 avan, these candidates being picked u | en route.
 The whole affair is particularly for tn benefit of New London Shrners, most o whom are members of Pyramid temple o Bridgeport.
