The fairest flowers of Cali- fornia’s womanhood, gorgeously at- tired in decollete gowns, sparkling with brilliant diamonds and’ rare jew- els; graced the occasion with their presence. Many of the Sir Knights wore the rich emblems of their offices, which greatly added to the brilliancy of the scene.

Corinthian “Chasseur” Commandery No. 53, the mounted commandery of Philadelphia, together with Pilgrim Commandery No. 11, from Harrisburg, and Kadosh Commandery No. 29, from Philadelphia, arrived at Oakland yes- These commanderies are followed by eight special train loads of Sir Knights and ladies from Pennsylvania on their western pilgrimage, bringing the fol- lowing commanderies of that State: Pittsburg No. 1, of Pittsburg; Northern No. 16, of Tawana; Allen No. 20, of Allentown; Baldwin No. 22, of Wil- liamsport; Allegheny No. 35, of Alle- gheny; Mary No. 36, of Philadelphia; Tancred No. 48, of Pittsburg:; Reading No. 42, of Reading; Washington No. 3, of Washington, and Pennsylvania No. 70, of Philadelphia, including in all 619 Sir Knights and 525 ladies, a total of 1144 people. This is the largest excursion of Sir Knights and ladies so far to cross the continent to San Francisco. The three commanderies that arrived yesterday, after stopping long enough te permit those in charge to arrange definitely the details concerning their headquar- ters in this city and other minor mat- ters connected with their stay here, proceeded south to Monterey, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, to return by the way of San Jose. They will arrive in San Francisco again next Monday morning. The commanderies following them will pursue the same course and on Monday evening, September 65, the Fran- | will give an informal reception to all Sir Knights and ladies from 8 until 10 o'clock. The recepticn will take place in the maple of the Palace Hotel. The committee will be composed of the officers of the Grand Commandery and and twelve additional from the several commanderies from Pennsylvania. Refreshments will be served and a handsome souvenir badge given to each visiting lady. This badge consists of a beautiful gold Mal cross and crown in enamel, bearing the Pennsylv: 1904 apd “San Francisco.” AR RETAILERS TAKE roor reception s ACTION. Will Keep Open Monday and Tuesday. Committee Mceting Calied. At a al meeting of the retail mierchant members of the Merchants’ Association, held to consider what ac- tion would be desirable in regard to closing their places of business during the week of the Knights Templar con- clave, it was decided that, inasmuch as this would be an unusual occasion, the large number of visitors to the city during the first part of the week could be better accommodated, and the city made more attractive, if the re- tail stores were kept open Monday and Tuesday, except during the hours of the parades. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the retail stores in San Francisco should be kept open on Monday, September 5, and Tuesday, September 6, and close on Friday, Sep- tember 9, and that during the hours of parades on Monday and Tuesday stores, at their discretion, should close in order to allow their employes time to view or participate in the parades.” The association requests that all re- tail stores in the city will, so far as possible, conform to this recommenda- tion, in order to secure uniformity of action. The citizens' committee, formed for The Citizens’ Committee, formed for the purpose of aiding in entertaining the visiting Knights Templar and their friends during the triennial conclave, will meet this afternoon in the Maple room of the Palace Hotel to receive further reports from sub-committees and to perfect plans for the reception of the strangers upon arrival. Mem- bership cards and credentials will be issued to all that have joined the com- mittee, and some of the most prominent citizens will address the meeting. In- vitation has been sent to each member of the committee and to those whose names have been handed to the com- mittee by its members. \ At a meeting of the Eastern Star Chapter, held at Golden Gate Hall, all of the chapters of San Francisco, Oak- land, Alameda, Berkgley and Mill Val- ley were represented.

The ties which stern Star to the Masonic will or Easte bind the E: | fraternity are being knit more closely with each passing year, and the com- with its interchange of courtesies, it is hoped, will contribute materially to that end. - PLAN FOR UNION SQUARE. | Novel Scheme of Illumination Is Sub- stituted for the Original. Union square will be {lluminated for the Knights Templar conclave, but not 80 extensively as was originally planned. It will be attractive, however, considering the {llumination of the square and of the builidings facing it. Twenty-four masts, about thirty feet high, painted white, will be placed around the park. From the top of each pole will float an eight-foot American flag, at the base of which there will be a cluster of electric lights. Five feet | below the cluster of lights will be a battery of smaller flags. Ten feet above the sidewalk there will be clustered about each post a battery of green palm leaves forming the basis of garlands of green, which will be twined about the posts to the top. Strings of electric lamps will be sus- pended between the posts, thirty feet above the sidewalk, in graceful loops, encircling the park in rows of brilliant lights. Varicolored Japanese lanterns will be ssupended from the wires and | loops at regular intervals to the num- ber of 250, each illuminated by an elec- tric bulb. At each of the four entrances to the park a huge Japanese lantern, six feet high and containing a cluster of elec- tric lights, will be suspended. This sort of illumination and display is entirely novel. The St. Francis Hotel and some of the larger business houses f.cing the square will have brilliant illuminations ornamenting their structures. Open air concerts will be given in the center of Union square every evening during the conclave. i B L o KNIGHTS AT LOS ANGELES. Advance Guard of Oncoming Hosts Reaches the Southern City.

The experience of some of the com- manderies was anything but pleasant, their trains having been blockaded by washouts, and it was necessary to hold their trains until miles of track could be rebuilt before they could proceed. | ‘If a hearty welcome to. California | will add to the success of the San Fran- cisco conclave the Los Angeles Knights Templar are contributing to that suc- cess. Committees sometimes twenty or more strong have been sent out to meet incoming trains and give to the delega- | tions aboard them a real California | greeting. These committees have taken with them the choicest fruits of this section and carloads of flowers, and the | belated Sir Knights who have been the recipients of these favors were more than delighted. At the Masonic Temple to-night there was a public reception on a scale never before attempted here. Nearly 300 visiting Knights attended, and until nearly midnight they were entertained. Then it was announced that the most eminent Knight of all the eminent Sir Knights would arrive at midnight, and it was decided that all the visitors go to the depot to greet him. When at nearly 1 o'clock the train bearing Grand Master Henry Bates Stoddard of Bryan, Texas, rived and he stepped from his spec ar, he was greeted b early 500 Knig] in full iform. The com- mander of all the Knights Templar was wearied from his journey that it was out of the tion to hold a re- ception to-night, and he was escorted to a special car and departed immedi- ately for Santa Monica, where he wil s spend the night. With him came officers of the Grand Commg es of Louisiana, Texas and M ippi, and they accompanied him the ocean tow To-morrow trains bearing dele- gations of Sir Knights are expected t arrive at intervals of two hours, and every member of the Los Angeles com- manderies will assist in the reception of these guests.
