John Thompson Brown.
After the transaction OF some other busi-
ness, the Commandery adjournedfo for dinner
and parade.
THE PARADE.
IN the afternoon the weather was very
warm and the streets dusty; but the bulk
OF the population, despising these little in
conyenicnces and only intent upon seeing
the parade, crowded the sidewalks. With
the stirring martial music, the gaily-deco-
rated buildings, the rich banners. plumed
knights, and eager multitudes, the day will
be memorable for its pageautry, no less, we
hope. than for its pleasant memories.
The line was formed at 2 O'Clock, the
grand officers, the visiting bodies and dele
cations, the Richmond communicates, and
the bands OF music occupying the positions
assigned to them in the programme, hereto
fore published.
The appearance OF the Knights was very
fine. 1t has been long since we had bet
ter parade here. The route OF march, being
we'll known, was crow ded, the ladies being
out in unusual numbers. They occupied
porches and seats at windows, where they
could be obtained; but the demand being
greater than the supply, many bad to con-
tent themselves with standipg-room on the
sidewalks.
REVIEW.
Arrived at the parade-eround-a large
open lot between Franklin and Grace
streets west OF Shafer-the Knights were
formed into a half square, in open order.
The Grand officers passed down the line on
it's front and back between the open ranks.
The Grand officers then took their station,
and the communicates passed in review be-
fore them. Then there was dress parade
OF the usual character.
The parade having been dismissed, the
Knights came back into the city by way OF
Grace street. At several points they ac-
knowledged the presence OF crowds OF la
dies by cheers.
GUBERNAToRIAL.
Finally, they proceeded to the Governors
mansion and nassed in review OF his Excel
bow to each commandery.
The Grand Commandery having been
escorted to their quarters at the American,
the outdoor ceremonials were concluded.
BANQUET.
Last night the Grand officers and visiting
knights were escorted by Richmond and
St. Andrew commanderies from their ho-
tells to St. Albans Hall, where banquet
was spread, and great many Of the breth-
len were assembled. The evening was en-
jovaDly spent
Most OF the visitors leave the city to-day.
