The knights Templar.
The Richmond Commandery of knights
Templar, escorted by De Molay Commandery
of Boston. visited the Monument grounds early
in the forenoon as guests OF the Coeur de Lion
Commandery of Charlestowns The occasion
was significant as heartfelt reunion OF repre-
sentative bodies of the South and North on the
soil sacred to the nation. The speeches on the
site of the redoubt where the patriots were en-
trenched were worthy of the eminent gehtle'
men who made them, those of the VIrglnlans
being particularly expressive OF the prevailing
sentiment of 'Union now and forever. one and
inseparable' The beautiful act of the Fifth
Maryland Regiment in horaly decorating the
graves of those killed at Bunker Hill was
alluded to in the remarks as the most graceful
tribute that had been paid to the memory OF
the patriots The visiting Communicates
breakfasted with the Ceur de Lions, and dined
with st. Andrews Lodge, of which Gen.
Warren was member, at his rooms on the
site of the old Green Dragon tavern on New
Washington and Union streets
Tue Grand Review.
The first feature of marked interest in city
proper was the parade review by Gov. CASTOR
and invited guests of the state and city OF the
entire body of militia, home and visiting and
at the state house. Major Gen. b. +. Butler
commanded and the display OF nearly l0,00O
troops, 1000 of which were Massachusetts regi
ments, was very fine. The visiting bodies from
New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connectl-
cut, Rhode Island were especially compliment
ed for their correct military bearings, and the
home troops acquitted themselves beyond the
hopes of their most saDgune supporters.
Forming the Procession.
The formation of the grand processi IN was =, 2
work of great magnitude, and haraiy sSloos
of any account was without its section OF the
nageant in preparation. During the entire
morning the streets through which the pro
cesson was to pass were roped OFT at 3 a. M.
and no vehicles allowed in them during the en-
tire day. The populace increased vary fast as
the various divisions arrived eacn pr e
train on the railroads bringing thousands upon
thousands. The grand review at the State
House. though magnificent in itself, hardly
compensated for the delay il caused to the man
body, and impatient walters were not SLOW ln
denouncing the authorities for detaInlDg the
troops. which were the main attraction OF the
day, SO long The weather held fine, a refresh
ing breeze from the northwest prevailed to take
off the effect of the suns rays, and the sun IT,
self for good portion of the time was obscur-
ed by thin but not threatening CLOUDS, which
proved boon to spectators as well as troops
who. when they entered the procession at hal
past IL, had been on the march i've hours, ano
that without food. But at l o'clock the line
was complete as follows:
