and extended a hearty greeting and
much good cheer.
The affair was the third pilgrimage
to this city and the Wilkes-Uarre del
egation arrived here on a special train
over the Delaware and Hudf-on rail
road, which reached here at G.10 o'clock.
They were met at the station by the
Scrantou members all of whom were In
evening dress and who wore on their
heads the led fezzes which form the
only distinguishing feature of dress
worn bv the nobles of the order.
Headed by T.auer's Thirteenth regi
ment band the visitors and the recep
tion committee marched up Lackawan
na avenue and through Wyoming to
the Hotel Jerinyn, in the lobby of
which an informal reception was held
between the hours of 7 and S o'clock.
Here the Wilkes-Barre and .Scrantou
nobles met vepiesentatives from Jlemi
temple of New York city, I.ulu Temple,
of Philadelphia, and Kalurah temple,
of ninghamlon, who had come on es
pecially to be present at the cercmonleh
conducted In tho Lyceum theatre.
Exercises in Lyceum.
The exercises In the Lyceum began
promptly at S o'clock, when the nobles
filed over from the Jerinyn and took
seats In the pit. TJie stage was set
with a magnificent Oriental setting and
was occupied by Potonlate Frank Deit
rlck, of Wilkps-Harrc, and the other of
ficers of the temple, who comprise the
degree team having charge of all degree
woik and initiations.
No less than sixty-four candicluti-s,
either Knights Templar or thirty-second
'degiee Mas-ons, were initiated into the
mysteries of the order. Of this number
about fotly weie from Scrauton and
the icmalnder from Wllkes-Barre. The
initiation service requlies the services
of a bund and a trained male chorus.
The instrumental music was furnished
by Ruler's band and a chorus under
the direction of Prof. C. B. Dennmn
rendered the vocal music.
As only a few of the musicians and
singers who participated wete members
of the order and as the eyes of the un
initiated are not permitted to look upon
the temple while In session it became
necessaiy to establish them In one of
the rooms adjoining the first balcony
und they either played or sang In re
sponse to signals communicated to a
member ftnuding nt the entrance.
It had been planned to biing the nine
show girls now performing at one of
the theatres to tho Lyceum at the con
clusion of the degree work to provide
an entertainment, but they did not ar
iie until just after sojournment had
been tuken,
Banquet at Board of Trade.
The visiting nobles, augmented by the
I wo hundred local memoeis of tho order
learned two abreast after the adjourn
ment and marched to the board ot trade
building. They formed a piocesslon ex
tending for over a block. Tables had
lx en spread in the boaid of trade as
sembly mom for the accommodation of
the guests, but the mom soon became
packed to the door and it became neces
sary to provide for the overilow in the
looms oi tho Scrantou club.
The assembly loom presented a beau
tiful spectacle with the hundreds of red
fezzes worn by the nobles and the Jol

A number of songs Including "My
Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," and
many other good old tunes wete sung
by thi) nobles and so Interesting did
they beeonio In singing and eating that
it was nearly midnight before Poten
tate Ilt'ltrlck got a chance to get a

but owing to the lateness of the hour
and the urgent necessity of tho Wilkes

they were dispensed with. The only
noblo heard fioni was Attorney John F,
