LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 21.-A gala week
lor tho Knights Templars of tho United
Btatcs began tdnlght, though tho formal
exercises of tho opening of tho twenty
eighth triennial conclave of tho order will
not toko place until next Tuesday morning.
Immediately after dusk the city became a
Vfcrltablo dreamland of dazzling brilliancy
when tho electric current was turned on a
hundrod designs and decorative structures.
Tho cntlro central portion of tho city is
tonight Hooded with light from myriads of
varl. colored Incandescent globes. Great
Templar crosses nml nhi
tiro fronts of olDco buildings nnd business
houses, Crusaders and prancing war horses
of horolc design constructed of cathedral
glass behind which aro placed electric llghtB
afo conspicuous figures on somo of tho pub
lic buildings. Kostoons of colored lights
span tho thoroughfares of forty dlrfcrcnt
blocks in tho heart of tho city.
California commandery, No. 1, of San
Francisco, tho first ofllclal nrrlval from a
point outsldo tho state, reached tho city
shortly after nooa today. Tho commandery
started from homo last Sunday, stopping In
Dbnvo'r and Chicago enrouto Most Eminent
Sir Itouben II. Lloyd, grnnd master of tho
grand encampment, camo with tho com
mandery. Tonight a reception nnd musi
cal was tondcrod by California, No. 1, to
tho Knights Templars of Loulsvlllo and all
other members of tho order who aro now
In tho city. Tho function was held at tho
Quit houso, whoro tho commandnry has
headquarters nnd whoro it will entertain
lavishly during tho coming week. Only Blr
knights In full dress uniform, minus tho
eword, nnd ladles in evonlng dress wero
admitted to tho reception.
Each train since noon has brought In ono
or raoro Tomplar delegations and hundreds
of other visitors. Tho attendance prom
ises to surpass that of any previous moot
ing of tho grand encampment, with over
25,000 Tomplars nnd their Indies already
Iirovldcd with quarters.
AH Grand Ofllecra Present.
With tho arrival of Grand Master Lloyd
all tho ofllccrs of tho grand encampment

hand of music. Kov. J, C. W. Coxo, grand
prelate, will officiate at tho rollglous exor
cises at tho church.
Tho remainder of tho, day will be devoted
by .tho local Tomplars to tho reception of
Incoming commanderlcs. An escort com
mittee of 700 members went on duty at
noon today and will remain until Tuesday
morning. Tho body his divided Into thirty-
three details, each under 'tho command of
a captain. Every outsldo commandery Is
mot on arrival at tho railway station with
a dotal! and escorted with a band of music
to its quarters.
Scries of Seven Ileceiitlona.
Monday night tho grnnd commandery of
Kentucky, tho state's supremo body, which
is oxpectod to maintain tho Bluo Grass rep
utatlon for hospitality, will' Inaugurate a
Eerlcs cf seven receptions at Its hcadquar
tcrs In tho custom house. Tho Interior
of tho building has been elaborately dec
orated. A great court covers tho city
postofllco department and is surrounded by
a corridor lined with masslvo columns
ThlB Interior Is centered with a platform
hoavlly banked with plants and flowers,
behind which an orchestra will play each
afternoon and evening of tho week. Spa-
clous courtrooms surrounding tho corridors
will bo used for tho different functions
connected with the receptions.
On Tuesday morning tho formal opening
of tho trlenulal will tako placo with tho
great parade. Major John II. Leathers of
Loulsvlllo, an ox-contoderato officer, will
bo grand marshal of tho parado. Ho esti
mates that thero will bo not less than
20,000 Templars and 2.B0O musicians In
line. Tho start will be made promptly at
0:30 o'clock (central standard time), from
tho Intersection of Sevonth and Main
streets.

"That cup Is stltt In tho lap of tho gods.
I am often asked whether I think I shall
win It. My only reply Is that I hope to
win It or I should not enter tho contest.
I have that hope and it Is part of my san
gulno nature, perhaps, that during tho re
cent trials of the now challenger In tho
Clyde tho hope grew at moments Into an
expectation. If there was certainty that I
should win or that I should lose thero would
bo no sport. Only one thing Is quite suro
that the best boat will win, and I am
sportsman enough to wish that It should.
If my boat Is tho best, well and good. I
shall rcjolco to bring tho cup back with mo,
but the next best thing to bringing It away
Is to leave it whero it is.
"Wero this contest not a thoroughly
friendly ono I should not enter upon It.
America knows my mind on this matter and
I know America's. Nothing could exceed .
tho kindness shown mo when last I chal
lenged, from tho tlmo of my arrival In
American waters till tho tlmo of my de
parture. Thousands of people camo out to
say goodby. I shall nevor forget the sight
or tho sound. Crowded steamers ' came
down tho river and as tho St. Louis passed
Banoy Hook's battery fired two guns In
larewell salutation. Tho American press
was particularly good to mo and tho inter
viewer, who Is rather a bcto noire In the
Imagination of some of my traveling coun
trymen, I found n capital and a consldcrato
enough follow. And it is my confident
opinion an opinion I expressed on my re
turn home that a great number of the
people of America wero rather disappointed
becauso 8hnmrock I did not win. A grcator
proof than this of tho hospitality of any
country I do not know nnd cannot Imagine.
"I do not think It necessary to reiterate
my fnlth In tho absoluto fair play of
American sportsmen, or to retell hero how
congress, quit independently of this par
ticular raco, has, by a special amendment
of its navigation laws, undertaken tho task
no light ono of keeping tho courso clear
for combatants. It used to be necessnry to
say theso things here at home. That Is not
nn agrccabla roraark not a raoro agrco-
ablo remark than tho woman made to
Dlsraoll tho Youngor, 'I spend my llfo In
defending you.' Without saying that, I
hnvo to admit that when I first entered my
challengo many of my friends asked me
whether I was suro of a fair field and no
favor. Well, I wo3 sure, nnd I told them
so with an emphasis that rather sUirtlrd
somo of them. Now, nobody even asks mo
tho foolish question. That is something
gained by the race of two years ago and
by the race which is about to bo run. It
I do not bring back the cup, I do some
thing much better add to tho right under
standing and the consequent goodwill be
tween tho port-lovlng public on ono side
of the Atlantic and their colleagues on tho
other.
"Turning to tho future, I havo no reason
to think that the circumstances of tho sec
ond raco will bo any less congenial than
those of the first. On the contrary, I be
lieve that the American people and myself
wero never on kinder terms than wo are
now. I speak, at any rate, for myself. Sep
tember 21 will sco the first of tho five races
that are to decide which Is tho better boat.
Why, as a citizen and a cosmopolitan, I
await that decision with equanimity has
been already told. Why, as a sportsman, I
equally await ,lt with confidence Is, of
course, a far moro problematic affair.
Shamrock II Is, however, in my opinion, a
better beat than Shamrock I. Mr. Watson
has spent moro tlmo over It. Day and
night, so to say, for tho last eighteen
months, he has put hie best work Into it,
aided by Mr. Ffe. They havo benefited by
their bygono experiences. Tho result Is
that I have now a better boat than ever, and
I could not havo a better crew. When I
said goodby to them beforo they set sail
across tho Atlantic the other day I told
them to their faces what I thought of them
that tbey arc tho finest Bet of tain our
country can produce. I told them, too, that
It any favor was shown, It would not be
to their disadvantage They are full of
hopes for success, and they have, besides,
In that event, certain substantial expecta
tions. Mr. Watson, too, promised them a
reward, and their confidence In the winning
powers of tho boat Is shown by tho request
hoy made thnt tho money should bo put
up on the races.
"Tho two years elapsed since tho last
attempt and falluro havo brought other
things besides experience Ono regret goes
with mo Into this renowed contest tho nb
Bcnco of Lord Russell of Klllowen, who
was engaged at tho dato of tho last race
or ho would havo been with mo In set
tling peacefully tho vexed question of
Venezuela. Ho by his work nnd I by my
play, ns I flattered myself, wero both
conducing to the samo groat end a bet
tor and closer comradeship between tho two
nations. That double Interest of tho keen
patriot and tho keon sportsman, which tho
raco excited in him, Is here to lnsplro us
no moro. His son, Hon. Charles Hussell,
will, however, be with mo now as then.
Lady Ilusscll of Klllowen christened Sham
rock I, nnd tho countess of Dufferln grace
fully performed tho samo ccermony for
Shamrock II. Lord Dufferln Is still presi
dent of tho Ulster Yacht club that Ulster
from which my own family springs and
which has given a McKlnley to the White
House. It is tho flag of tho Koyal'Ulster
Yacht club which Shamrock files; and on
that flag Is tho "lied Hand of Ulster" an
inspiring sign. According to tho old legend
thero was a raco at sea for supremacy and
ho who touched shore was first was to bo
king. O'Neill was behind, but ho touched
shoro first by a gruesomo device. Seeing
his rival ahead, he chopped off his own
band, flung it ashoro and so won the
crown. Tho moral is that in this, as In
everything worth the doing, ho who would
win must be thorough In his struggle for
victory. Alt things must bo subservient
to that desired end.
"Nobody has ever accused me of half
heartcdness in any enterprise of mine, and,
of all my enterprises, this, perhaps, Is one
which stands first- I havo dono my utmost
to get a good boat and a good crew, and
when I reach New York, a month ahead of
tho raco, I shall gtvo all my tlmo and
thought to getting tho boat Into tho best
condition. I shall force my tongue to say
'No' where It would prefer to tramo a 'Yes'
to all allurmcnts on land until I have set
tled this great event on the water. Yet I
can sincerely say again, what I said before:
I shall emergo from this contest unmalmcd
I shall have at least that advantago over
King O'Neill. Indeed, I often feel that I
am in tho almost invidiously favorable posl
tton expressed by the formula, 'Heads I
win, tails you lose' For this is a contest
and theso aro foes whero victory Is glorious
and defeat not a disgrace.
"With my last lntcrvlow with King Ed
ward stilt uppermost in my mind, I may bo
allowed to say that nobody takes a greater
Interest in this raco of ours than Edward
VII, and that tho American nation has no
greater admirer than ho. His Interest In
all that concerns tho cup has been shown
by his visits to my boats at various stages;
to tho first while It was still on tho stocks,
to the second in that trial spin which well,
was a trial nnd a spin of n kind wo did not
wnnt. That ho wishes good luck to Sham
rock II on patriotic grounds is only natural.
But If I may make a guess at another mo
tive for his majesty's deslro that it may
win, It would be this: Its victory would
mean tho return visit of American boats to
our shores, nnd a royal wctcomo to Amor-
lean yachtsmen."
Heat and Humidity
Weather Expert Dunn Writes Some Hot
Weather Advice.
(Copyright, 190t, by E. B. Dunn.)
It requires no great prophotlc powor or
distinctive weather Judgment to arrive at
tho determination of what causes most dis
comfort during tho summer months. Most
pcoplo would say offhand that tho objec
tionable clement is heat and that personal
comfort is in inverse ratio to tho changes
of tho thermometer, but a llttlo thought
will bring out tho fact that tho element
which causes tho actual suffering during
hot weather is humidity.
From tho term humidity wo understand it
to be molsturo in the air, and its prcsenco
Is dotormlncd by means of hygrometers, the
amount being expressed in per cent form.
The hygrometer is formed of two ordinary
thermometers, ono being dry and the other
having a piece of linen wrapped around the
bulb and kept thoroughly saturated with
water, especially boforo taking an observa
tion. To get tho true readings both in
struments should bo whirled around so that
evaporation may bo more' rapid than when
the instruments aro motionless and at the
same rate ot speed at each reading, so as
to obtain the true amount of moisture pres
ent and ellminato a dlfferonco in the force
of evaporation. If the whirling of the ther
mometers did not take placo the wind force
and evaporation would be different at each
reading and it would be imposslblo to get
tho absolute amount ot molsturo present.
By relative humidity we understand the
condition of tho air when considered In con
nection with tho temperature. Thus it will
bo seen that humidity involves two ele
ments: first, tho amount of vapor present;
second, tho amount which would thoroughly
saturate the air at tho actual temperaturo
when tho reading Is made. It is upon the
ratio of these elements that our sensations
of dryness nnd moisture are experienced.
The greater tho difference observed in the
reading of tho dry and wet thermometers,
tho creator tho dryness of tho air; tne
closer tho rending, tho greater tho mols
turo. If they read exactly tho samo it
would moan that the air was thoroughly
saturated and held all the moisture it was
possible to contain at that temperature,
that Is, 100 per cent. When it reaches
that point, however, condensation in tno
shape of rain, snow, sleet or fog must tako
place, either heavy or ngni, 10 ms piu
for the moisture thnt Is being constantly
taken up by the forco of evaporation,
which goes on at ail times under all tem
peratures and conditions. It is not to bo
understood that it is necessary tor me
humidity to reach 100 per cent before con
densation takes place; rain or snow may
fall when tho humidity registers 40 per
cent or even less, but condensation Invaria
bly takes place in some form when 100 per
cent of humidity Is registered.
In New York City tho nvcrago humidity
Is 72 per cent. The average is necessarily
high on tho seaconst and decreases as
tho distance into the interior increases.
Tho air in a room heated by a hot Btove
may contalu as much vapor, weight for
weight, as tho open air outside, but it Is
dryer, because warm air expands, making
Its capacity for holding molsturo greater.
In Ilka manner, tho air at noon is dryer
than at midnight, though tho amount ot
vapor present bo tho same, and it is dryer
in summer than in winter, though tho
amount of vapor present, is greater. When
air containing aqueous vapor is gradually
cooled Its density gradually increases and
tho rate ot Increase is sensibly tho samo for
vapor as for dry air, with which It Is mixed,
until a point is reached, at whtch the
density of the vapor becomes equal to tho
-maximum density posslblo at a given
temperature. This temperature is called the
dew point, and any further reduction ot
temperature will cause condensation of a
portion of tho vapor in tho shape of rain,
snow, dew, fog, frost or sleet, according to
the season.
It is found that many of our storms pro
ducing rnln along or near the scacoast
occur in tho evening or shortly after the
warmest part ot tho day. Tho winds blow
from tho ocean, carrying In an excessive
amount of moisture, until the humidity
registers from normal to tho point of
saturation. Then, as the coolness ot night
comes on, tho ntmosphero contracts 'jid
Its capacity tor holding all tho molstuie
which it had taken up during the day Is
diminished and there is a partial condensa
tion this condensation may not af
ford much rellof, as Is often
found to be tho case, for tho ntmosphero
has only thrown off. Its surplus caused by
contraction and Is stilt charged to Its full
capacity according to tho tempornturo
prevailing at the time. Howovpr, It Is
usually found that after wo ha70 been
bollod or steamed through a hot summer
day thero Is usually some relief from thun
der storms of this kind, even It tho air is
still molsturc-ladon; tho streets and
houses havo been partially cooled by tho
rain. It Is seldom on our coast that some
relief Is not afforded by thunderstorms
during tho heated terms in less than threo
days; In this respect wo aro better off
than our neighbors In tho Interior of tho
country; they do not suffer from humidity
as wo on the coast do, but their heated
spells last much longer than ours and very
llttlo relief is afforded In thunderstorms.
Human beings can stand n temperaturo
of from 100 to 125 degrees for a long period
without any great discomfort it tho ale is
dry, but inject into that same air enough
moisture to Increase the humidity from
IS to 20 per cent above Its normal amount
and the people who .aro subjected to it
would die from exhaustion in a few days.
A good Illustration of what nature will
stand In tho lino of dry heat Is demon
strated every day by tho stokers on tho
largo steamers and somo of the firemen
in our large factories nnd buildings. Their
flro rooms are heated up to more
than 100 degrees for days and
months, and still thero Is no more
Injury to health complained of than
from pooplo who aro walking tho
streets during the hot days. Why? Sim
ply becauso tho molsturo in tho overheated
flro room has been taken up by the ex
cossivo heat, and tho humidity, It tested,
would show from 20 to 40 per cent below
normal according to the temperature. On
the street outsldo tho temperaturo would
probably bo from 30 to 40 degrees below
that ot the fire room, but tho humidity out
sldo would be from 20 to 40 per cent higher
and in consequence the suffering would be
correspondingly greater.
Although humidity Is ono ot tho most
Important elements to tako Into considera
tion regarding our health, It receives llt
tlo or nc attention. Wo are accustomed
to looking at the thermometer and trying
to regulate our comfort according to the
amount of heat and cold Indicated thereon.
Now It would bo far better to lay
tho thermometer aside and give a tew
momonts' study to humidity. We. can
tell by our feeling about what the tem
perature of any1 day Is, but not so with
humidity. As I stated before, tho normal
humidity of New York City is 72 per
cent. Any per cent between 40 and
80 is healthful; anything below 40 Is
too dry and Injurious to health and
destructive to plant lite; anything
above 80 per cent Is too moist, op
pressive to tho human system, enervating
and exhausting, but generally beneficial
to nlant life. For Inland cities the per
ccntages aro lower. Tho humidity of one's
homo should be given more consideration
It is not nn easy matter to regulato the
humidity of your home In summor time and
It Is not nocessary to try, for tho molsturo
Is seldom above a healthy per cont for any
length of tlmo, but tho winter months,
when wo turn on the steam and havo
our furnaces and stoves booming, our homes
becomo overheated and all tho molsturo
absorbed. Tho furnltu'ro drops apart and
wo complain about the dryness, but what
do wo do to prevent It? Pile on moro coall
I would bo willing to gunrantee that nine
out of every ten houses In Now York City
during tho winter months have a humidity
registering less than 40 per cont and that
some one In the family is suffering from
throat or lung affection. You may ask bow
this can be remedied. I should say
first, do not keep your bouses so warm;
second, open your windows at the top each
night and let out the overheated air; third,
when you find you have too much heat do
not turn off tho steam or let your fires
go down sufficient to cool off tho entire
house, but rather ventllato your house;
open tho windows, top and bottom, for a
fow moments, let in tho fresh air, thus
reducing tho hent nnd letting In sufficient
moisture with the cool air to keep your
house In a good, healthy condition. Why
are most of the English and foreign races
possessed of such fine' healthy appearance?
Simply this they do not live In over
heated bouses devoid of alt the natural
elements of tho air. This cold weather
advice may not be cOmfortablt reading Just
now, but It will be worth thinking about

Immediately following the parado tho ses

question likely to come up for the con
sideration of the grand encampment Is that
of establishing permanent headquarters for
tho order In Washington, D. C. Another
problem that will doubtless bo considered
la tho relation of lodge and chapter mem
bership to propor standing In the Templar
order. Tho fraternal attitude of the Amer

matter for consideration. Regular routine
