X. Shepherd, Esq, reviewed the procession from
The balcony of the st. James Hotel The bal
| cOny was tastefully decorated, and crowded with
aides. The knights passed the hotel in sec
ions OF twos, threeS and fours, alternating into
| rIosSes, triple crosses and triangles, the music
| riaying the choicest operate airs. Detroit
Commandery, Michigan, marched by in fine
| style, the whole commandery in straight line
| lust filling up the Avenue from one curbstone to
| he opposite one, and elected much praise BY
| heir excellent marching.
| After the review the procession broke ranks
| On the Avenue, and the communicates sepa.
| rated, most of them returning to the Temple
where the collation. was prepared for them
| Many of the knights, instead of going TO Ma
sonic Temple, went TO hotels and eating houses
| THE COLA TIoN.
| Fopr rows OF tables were spread out the entire
| length OF the hall, laden with all the substantial
| and lighter edibles, making most welcome col
'ation for the hungary multitude The collation.
was partaken OF standing, as it was impossible tc
| seat so vast a crowd, and af6er satisfying theiI
hunger, the Sir Knights would file out making
room for others.

satlsfed, the visitors were escorted by theil

! was III readiness TO convey them there and re-
| turn in time for the evening train for Baltimore
Carriages have been provided by the knights OF

| desire to go.
An Imposing Spectacle.
| The spectacle Tor exceeded the expectations
| II our citizens, who apparently looked for moth
ing more than an ordinary tournout, until they
saw the full extent OF the grand procession. The
me appearance of the men composing the
various communicates, their excellent march
| ing, bright uniforms, and handsome banners AT
universal commendation. All along the line OF
march, and especially on the Avenue,
| CROWDS OF EAGER SPECTATORS
TILED the sidewalks, and each commandery
| PASSED vented their admiration in cheers and
iapping of hands. A detail of policemen
| diminished on either side of the PROCESSION
keeping the Avenue clear of pedestrians and
vehicles while the procession was passing.
| Each band
| WORE GAY UNIFORM,
and presented a very fine appearance. 1t is
| needless to say that the Marine Band of this
ity, which was out in full force, under the lead
| ership of Professor Scala, and which preceded
he procession, was greatly admired, not only
for the excellence of its music, but for the SUI
PeIb appearance and marching OF its members.
Richmond COmmandery, No. 2, was preceded
| ny platon OF standard bearers, carrying small
| black flags, on which were inscribed silver
crosses. They marched wen and received many
encomiums on their general appearance.
| A PLEASING REGULARITY
| of the parade weae the intricate marching
evolutions of Hanselman Commandery, No Is. OF
| Cincinnati. These movements were executed
| without in the least interrupting the march OF
| the procession, nor did the commandery appar
entity lose ground in their performance Their
man9uvres were loudly applauded by the spec
| tators on the sidewalk. -.
l. ANXIETY TO WITNESS THE PROCESSION.
Besides the thousands of people who thronged
the sidewalks on the line of march, every window
was filled with animated faces. At the Treasury
building the southern and eastern porticos and
stone stairways were crowded with clerks to
witness the procession.
