KNIGHTS TEMPLAB.
The Excursion TO pittsburgh.

/ Man to Market and Masonic Hall. Com
! ing down Main the column marched in
the form of Passion Cross, the
movement from sections of three into
this form and back again into
sections, being beautifully performed
and with accuracy.
We learn from the knights that the
excursion was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who participated in the pleasures. The
hospitality of the Pittsburgh Knights is
loudly praised, and it seems that nothing
which thoughtful care could suggest was
| left undone which might contribute 20
the pleasure of the visitors. The city
was gaily decorated with flags and BAN
ners and notices of welcome and, espe-
cIaily along the line Of the grand par
AIDE, there was a constant succession OF
elaborate and tasteful decorations. The
sidewalks along the line of march
were densely crowded with people,
and from every window, balcony, and
"coign of vantage along the whole line
bright eyes looked down in smiles and
fair hands waved welcome and applause.
The parade took place on Thursday.
About half past nine o'clock the Wheel
ing Knights were formed in front OF their
headquarters at the Allegheny Central
Hotel and were formally received by
Pittsburgh Commsndery No. /, who es-
corted them to their place in the line
which was formed on Water street, Pitts
burg. The whole column moved at half
past ten. About 1900 Knights III FnlI
uniform participated in the parade, COM
manderies being present from PhiIadel-
phia, Meadvllle, Oil City, Sharon.
Washington and other places in Western
Pennsylvania, together with the three
splendid bodies in Pittsburgh and Ale
gheny, and the Steubcnville and Wheel
ing communicates The scene is de-
scribed by those who saw It as the finest
society display that has ever been wit
messed in Western Pennsylvania.
At certain point on the march the
line was inspected and reviewed by Sir
James H. Hopkins, Grand Master ofthe
United States, and Sir f. II. Schultz, of
Baltimore, Grand Captain General Of the
United States. These dignitarcs were
accompanied by Sir Dusenbury, Grand
Commander of Pennsylvania Sir King
ton, Grand Commander elect of the same
State, Sir Shidle Past Grand Commander
of Pennsylvania, and Sir o. ;. Long,
Grand Commander Of West Nir-
ginja. No prize wa. offered
for competition, but all ,troye to appear
to best advantage. We learn that the
Wheeling Knights acquitted themselves
well and received many compliments
for their proficiency in drill and their
tasteful appearance. While rendering
tribute of thanks to all the gentlemen
who contributed to make their recent ey-
cursion to Pittsburgh one continual
round of pleasure, the Knights of
Wheeling Commandery are especially
emphatic IN the heartiness of
their thanks to sir James II. Stewart,
of Allegheny. whose princely hospitality
they will not soon forget.
Taken all together the trip seems 10
have been very pleasant one indeed,
and its pleasures will long be green in
the memory of the Knights Of Wheeling
rCommandery.

their stay they made their
headquarters ut the Allegheny Cen
trial. OF all the delegations present at the
celebration of yesterday, the Wheeling
Knights attracted possibly the most gen
eral attention. In the procession their
marching was exceedingly excellent, and
all along the route they were applauded.
The band which accompanied them was
very good one, and also received the
plaudtS of the crowds which filled the
streets. The Wheeling Knights are very
assiduous in their drilling, and the good
effect of their training was seen in the
marching of yesterday.
