Show Gone to San Francisco 0 In many ways the coming of the commanderies of Sir Knights here has had a pleasing effect and is sure to be followed by good They have enlivened our city have for a time released dull care they lave 1 seen for themselves what Salt Lake is and no words even of the oldest resident that we have heard were ever of so extravagant and complimentary a character as the thousand and one pretty pleasing andsententious remarks re-marks that have fallen from the lips of gallant Sir Knights and their charming lady companions Coming as may do from every part of the United States they will tell the story of their sights audit aud-it is certain that among the many places visited none will be of more general interest than this city The bathing too which Great Salt Lake affords will at last receive that national publicity ta which its singular and dtlightful features entitle en-title it and which had the owners of the Utah and Nevada displayed even ordinary enterprise would have attracted hundreds of visitors and healthseekers yearly There is no way in which the visits of the Sir Knights is not fraught with pleasant associations and no light in which It does not appear that good must follow The only regret re-gret is that they could not remain longer and that they cannot come again ST BERNARD Agreeable to the announcement made on Thursday morning the

military drill At the trIennial conclave of 1877 at Cleve laud Ohio this commandery carried car-ried off the second prize and in 1880 at the conclave in Chicago they succeeded in gaining the first prize a jeweled sword costing over 700 They were also given a challenge banner to be competed for between the conclaves of 1880 and 3883 The commandery in the summer of 1882 undertook and successfully carried out the management of the encampment encamp-ment of the militia of Indiana and companies from twelve other states in all numbering about 3000 men participated and Raper awarded prizes for drill excellence amounting amount-ing to over 3000 For several months pre ° edlng this encamp meat and while their entire attention and energy was engrossed en-grossed in arranging and perfecting this scheme the commaudery was necessarily compelled to neglect their own drill and at this time were challenged by St Bernard 3ornmandery of Chicago for the banner St Bernard won Raper in turn at once challenged St Bernard to regain the lost trophy but were again defeated They now again enter tho lists at the approaching enclave in San Francisco Colonel 11 Ruckle the Captain General of Raper has alsofilled the offices of Eminent Commander and Grand Commander of Knights Templar of the State of Indiana His record in the war of the Rebellion was especially meritorious and to his military knowledge and skill the command cry undoubtedly owes more than tony to-ny other cause its present reputation reputa-tion for proficiency in military tac tics Although Colonel Ruckle was called home by telegram received at Omaha announcing the death of a member of his family it is still hoped by his command that he may rejoin them in San Francisco The Commandery has its special train two Pullman

Thursday morning bright and early was the Ascalon The old adage last but not least is especially applicable in this case for it Is one of the pleasantest parties par-ties has some of the most intelligent intelli-gent gentlemen and lovely ladies of any commandery that has yet visited Salt Lake City They had their special cars to which were attached a dining and baggage oar The eame courtesy was shown this commandery that the others received and they went to the lake and many enjoyed a bath in the finest bathing resort in the world and as delighted de-lighted is too tame a word to express ex-press their sentiments language is powerless to express their delight I Following are the names of the I party which contains many prominent prom-inent gentlemen not only as masons ma-sons but in a business sense and they represent the Commanderies of Missouri as well as those of St Louis ASCALON COMMANDERY 0 James F Aglar Mrs James FAg lar Miss lone F Aglar H L Aid neb StLouis John W Adams New
