illuminated with Chinese lanterns, fambeaux
and refectors, while the moon shone brightly
with an apparent endeRvor to outrival the
sublunary spheres that cast q radiance on the
surroundings. Probably not less than 500
ladies and gentlemen, the best of whom the
city can boast, honored the occasion with
their presence.
About 8 o'clock the last train from St.
Paul reached the camp, and few moments
afterwards train from Saltwater arrived,
bearing twenty Sir knights from Bayard
commandery, nearly all of them old friends
and associates of Mr.. Presley. Thew
marched from the depot to the camp to the
music Of the Saltwater oornet band, each
knight having fair lady reclining upon his
arm. They were received at the parade
platform with knightly honors Ey the Da-
mascus commandery, and bidden to the
hospitalities of the camp.
brief parade took place, when Eminent
Commander Monfort announced that al
present would have an opportunity to pay
their respects to the bride and bridegroom
of thirty six years ago. The knights and their
wives, their cousins, their sisters and their
aunts then proceeded in line to offer their
congratulations to Sir Presley and his wife.
They were found standing beneath
q canopy erected in front of Sir Presley's
tent adjoining the headquarters Of the en-
campment. On either side were tables
loaded down with floral tributes, illuminated
by the light of tapers, the whole festooned
with dags and streamers. Allpresent passed
in and extended their congratulations to the
couple. Sir Presley was arrayed in his
Templar'c uniform, Mrs. Presley in rich
brown silk dress, trimmed with
Honiton lace, fischu of the same covering
her shoulders. The greetings were all hearty
and many of them affectionate, and the wish
was frequently expressed that thirty-six more
years might pass over the heads of the pair
before they were forced to separate.
The reception over, the Knights were sum
moned to drill once more. Both comman-
deries displayed rare proficiency and were the
recipients of frequent applause. Before the
order to break ranks was given, Sir knight
J. N. Castle, of Bayard commandery, Still
water, stepped from the ranks and in a few
well-chosen remarks, presented Sir Presley
and his wife with q massive silver goblet as q
token OF the esteem in which they were held
by the members of the commandery which
he had the honor to represent. Sir Presley
was taken completely by surprise, and lacked
words in which to express his
thanks. With much feeling, however, he
expressed his qualification at SO substantial
q tribute Of affection.
From the platform to the dancing canopy
the guests and their entertainers proceeded,
and while the Great Western band discoursed
sweet music, the feet of the merry dancers
kept perfect time. Those who could find
no room at that place resorted to the lunch
tables, where most bountiful fruit lunch,
embracing she products of the whole coun-
try, from ocean to ocean, was
served. Ices and ice Dreams FIN
ished the repast. The tables were spread
underneath the trees and in the ladies pavil-
lion, and were most artistically arranged by
MIR. A. Charbonneau, the popular head waiter
of the Merchants.
Dancing was kept up without intermission
till some time after IL o o'clock, when the or
der to fail in was given, and the Knights
proceeded in body to Sir Presley's canopy
to offer their adieux. Theu those who de-
sired to return to the CITY followed their
bent, the lights in the camp were extin-
guished and all was quietness.
The occasion was q thoroughly enjoyable
one in every respect, and the GLOBE desires
to add its wish to the others that Sir Presley
and his wife may have many happy returns
of the day.
