The members of New Haven commandery, Knights Templar, will hold their annual field day, June 16, and will spend the day at Branford Point, going there by steamer from New Haven.
On this occasion the Naugatuck valley Sir Knights are specially invited to become the guests of the New Haven Sir Knights, who will meet them at the New Haven station on the arrival of the train from Ansonia at 9:20 a. m. They are to be received with the honors extended to visiting Sir Knights and after a short parade through the city will be escorted to the steamer which will carry them to Branford Point.
Here the day will be spent in pleasure with the exception of about an hour, which will be devoted to a drill by the entire commandery, in which the sword drill will figure extensively.
Invitations have been sent to every Sir Knight of Ansonia, Seymour, Derby and Shelton to be present and it is expected that nearly every one will go. The boat will return in time for the valley knights to leave New Haven on the 7:50 p. m. train.
