An American Knight Templar Pilgrimage To Europe.
AN AMERICAN KNIGHT TEMPLAR PILGRIMAGE TO EUROPE .
In A RLY next month the Sir Knights of the Mary Com-J mnndery , No . 3 G , of Philadelphia , U . S . A . will start on a Pilgrimage to Europe , the countries ifc is proposed to visit being the United Kingdom , France , Switzerland , tho Rhincland , and Belgium . All the necessary arrangements
have been made with Messrs . Cook , Son , and Jenkins , and a short sketch of them will probably interest our readers . There are four separate programmes , or rather tho original programme will be varied after a certain date , so as to admit of the Pilgrims extending their visit to other
countries than those at first contemplated . The whole party will leave home on Saturday , the Gth July , by the steamer Anchoria , and on the 15 th they arc expected to land afc Mobille , and go thence to Londonderry . The day following they will go by train to Port Rush and visit the
Giants Causeway . The 17 th will be spent in Belfast , and the 18 th and 19 fch in Dublin . On the 20 th the party will return by express train to Belfast , and take boat for Greenock and Glasgow , reaching the latter early on Sunday morning , the 21 st . On the 22 nd they will go thvousrb
Lochs Lomond and Katrine , and the Trossachs , to Stirling and Edinburgh . The 23 rd will be spent in the Scottish capita ] , whence , on the 24 th , a visit to Melrose and Abbotsford , and then by train to York . Hero we are given to understand the Pilgrims will experience a K . T . reception ,
whicb , it is needless to say , will be of a very cordial nature , and at Sheffield , on the following day , the reception will be Craft in its character , and equally cordial . London -will bo reached on the 27 fch , and the four remaining days of the month will be occupied in seeing its lions . On tho 1 st of
August , after a flying visit to Brighton , the party will leave for Paris , via , Newhaven and Dieppe . Here a stay will be made till the 7 th instant , the ordinary attractions of the French capital being this year increased by the Exhibition . Here , too , we doubt not , the French Craffc will welcome the
opportunity of receiving the Pilgrims , and extend towards them thafc kindness for which they are distinguished . They leave Paris for Geneva by the night train , and reaching it early on the 8 th , will devote the " rest of that day and the next to seeing the sights for which the centre of the Swiss
watch trade is remarkable . Then Chamouny on the 10 th and 11 th , Martigny and Bouveret on tho 12 th , Lausanne on the 13 th , Interlacken on the 14 th , on the 15 th via the Brunig Pass to Lucerne , reaching Neuchatel on the 17 th , and returning to Paris on the night of the 18 th , and to
London on that of the 19 th . The return journey to NGAV York -will be commenced on tho 21 st , and the Pilgrims will reach again their native shores on the 3 rd September . Thus , the Pilgrimage will last fifty-nine days , of which twenty-two will be occupied with the ocean passage out and
home , while nineteen are assigned to the United Kingdom , six to Paris , and the other twelve to the rest of the Continental trip . The arrangements have been made with that regard to comfort and accommodation for Avhich the Messrs . Cook and Co . are so well known , and the cost is
set clown afc 3 G 0 dollars gold . The second programme is intended for those who do not propose to visit Switzerland , and the cost is set down at 275 dollars gold . The arrangements will be the same as for tho main party up to the
Gth August , when a ticket will be provided for London and New York . The third programme is for those who , not caring to visit Switzerland , are desirous of prolonging their sojourn in Paris . These accordingly will pay 300 dollars

in gold , remaining in Paris till tho 13 th , and returning home via London and Now York . The fourth and last programme is for Pilgrims who , remaining with the main party as far as Lucerne , may wish to see tho Rhine country and Belgium . Those will therefore continue
their journey from Lucerne via Bale to Baden-Baden , thence to Heidelberg , and via Worms to Mayence . Continuing thence by boat to Cologne , they will leave that city by morning- express to Brussels on the 23 rd August , and after a stay of two days will go by boat
to Antwerp on tho 2 Gth , and reach London on tho 27 th . They start by Anchor Line steamer for New York on tho 28 th , and may be expected homo on tho 10 th September . Theso will pay 400 dollars gold . Such is tho series of programmes as prepared for the Pilgrimage of tho Mary
Commandery , No . 3 G , of Philadelphia . We trust that everything may turn out as favourably as possible , and thafc the Sir Knights will thoroughly enjoy their trip to Europe . Wo are certain thafc , wherever they go , bo ifc in the United Kingdom or on the Continent , they will bo heartily welcomed .
