An auto load of Knights of Pythias went to Remington yesterday evening, having understood that the K. of P. lodge would have work in the second degree. They found after their arrival there, however, that the work had been postponed for two weeks and that the Remington brothers were not expecting any visitors or they would have informed the lodge here. The trip was not without some good results, however, for it resulted in an invitation being issued to the Rensselaer order to come over in two weeks. This invitation will probably be accepted by several, the weather being suitable.
