The Silver Triennial

Ann Arbor Commandery, Knights Templar, is making extensive arrangements for attending the 25th triennial conclave at Denver, next month, and everything promises an enjoyable excursión of the Sir Knights, their families and a íuimber of friends who will accompany them. Thus far there has been no break in the rates, but it is not improbable that before the day of starting the rate will be fixed very much lower. The Michigan Central raihvay is the initial route for the third consecutive triennial conclave of Knights Templar for the Grand Commandery of Michigan and for Ann Arbor Commandery. It is a peculiar circumstance which speaks volumes for the good judgment of our local commandery and the excellent facilities offered by the M. C. R. R., that both the Grand Commandery of the state and Ann Arbor Commandery have selected it as the initial route for the 23rd conclave at St. Louis, the 24th at Washington and now the 2 5th at Denver, next month. Mr. Joseph Hall, representing the M. C. R. R-, was in the city Monday in conference with thecommittee of the Grand Commandery, consisling of Past Grand Commander Doty, of Ann Arbor; Grand Commander Conover, of Coldwater; and Grand Recorder Innes, of Grand Rapids; and all the details of the trip were satisfactorily adjusted. The Ann Arbor Commandery was representèd by Eminent Commander Goodrich and Past Commander C. E. Hiscock. The Grand Commandery goes by regular train August sth and the local commandory by special palace vestibule train, August 6th. It is expected that about 35 Sir Knights with their families and friends will represent our city at "the silver triennial" in Denver. It will be a glorious trip and a wonderful experience for those participating. Applications for sleepers en route and for lodging while in Denver can be made now to C. E. Hiscock, chairman of committee for Ann Arbor Commandery. The Ann Arbor headquarters are on i3th street, Denver, where rooms for 50 people have been secured in an elegant modern stone residence accessible to all points of interest. The headquarters of the Grand Commandery are at the hotel Albany where all Michigan Sir Knights and their friends will be cordially welcomed and courteously entertained. Circular No. i, embodying all the details of the trip to this date, has just been issued by the commandery. The fare for the round trip including Colorado Springs, Manitou, the Garden of the Gods, and Pike's Peak, is only L34.80 from Ann Arbor, and may be less by the time of starting. Applications should be filed at once as accommodations are necessarily limited to 50 people at headquarters. The Santa Fe R. R., in accordance with its previous notice, yesterday advertised a rate of $ 12.00 from Chicago to Denver and return, on account of the Triennial Conclave of the Knights Templar. This insures a rate of S12.00 from Chicago and return for the Ann Arbor commandery andtheirfriends, via the Chicago & Alton, that railroad having contracted to meet the lowest rate made. No doubt the capacity of the commandery's accommodation will be severely taxed by those who desire to avail themselves of this wonderful opportunity.
