(American News Service)
Chicago, Aug. 8.-Half a million visitors, including many thousands of white plumed uniformed Knights Templars are expected to be entertained by Chicago this week during the thirty-first triennial conclave. Half that number are already here, including today's arrivals, among which were the world-famed Raper Commandery No. 1 of Indianapolis, whose drill team has won many prizes in contests. Other arrivals today included the Right Honorable Earl of Euston, most eminent and supreme grand master of the Knights Templar, heading a delegation of English visitors. He represents the Duke of Connaught, head of the order in England. Los Angeles is being boomed for the next conclave.
It is estimated that Tuesday's monster parade will require three hours in passing the reviewing stand.
LOCAL KNIGHTS LEAVE.
Richmond was the center of much activity among the Knight Templars yesterday and today.
The local Knight Templars, about thirty-five strong, several accompanied by members of their families, left on a special car for Chicago yesterday noon to attend the triennial conclave.
Three special trains carrying Knights Templar from Dayton, Springfield, Cincinnati, and delegations from different points in Eastern Kentucky, passed through the city today. There were two trains from Cincinnati, each bearing about five hundred passengers.
The lodges represented for the most part included members of Manson, Trinity and Cincinnati lodges. On the special from Dayton, O., Reed lodge No. 6, of Dayton, and Palestine lodge No. 33 of Springfield were provided for. Each lodge had its own band, and short concerts were rendered in the Pennsylvania depot.
Clarence Green, a member of Reed lodge of Dayton, formerly a resident here, is a member of the Reed drill team.
