IT WAS AFTERNOON WHEN TIE LAST DIVE
SION WHEELED INTO LINE.
BY that time the advance guard Of po-
lice, who headed the procession, had
reached Lake street. On the return
march it was estimated that nearly 10000
Knights were in line, and 1t required
about three hours for the entire procession
to pass a given point. Every part OF the
parade went off with precision that is
only attained by the best drilled troops,
and the evolutions were performed with
such beautiful exactness as to draw forth
round after round OF applause. The bril-.
liant uniforms, the inspiring music and
the bright sun which eventually appeared
rendered the scene one remarkable In
every respect and which will not likely
be witnessed again in many years, as 1t
has never been before. The various COM
manderies were heartily cheered from the
streets and sidewalks, but the marks OF
appreciation were most hearty where the
evidence OF superiority in military man.
oeuvers was apparent and where particu'
larly brilliant uniforms were visible. :,
THE BANDS WE'RE AN ATTRACTIVE PART OF
THE DISPLAY, THEIR GAY UNIFORMS
AND MUSIC
contributing to the entertainment fully as
much as the knights themselves. One
OF the most remarkable features was the
Oriental Commandery Of Cleveland. who
escorted the Eminent Grand Master in his
carriage, drawn by thirteen horses, seven
white and six black. A very brilliant
staff attended him. The Detroit Com.
mandery, st. Johns, oi Philadelphia, the
Mount 0iivet, OF Erie, the Raper, OF In.
dianapolis, the Richard CGur de Lion, Of
London, Ontario, the Marine band, OF
Washington, the Sixth Infantry band, Of
Lexington, and the Sixteenth Regiment
band, OF Ohio, all called out applause.
The streets were finely managed, there
being no interference. with the line oil
march. Much dissatisfaction was express
ed when it appeared that before the line
OF march was completed, almost the en-
tire line broke ranks and went TO their
tents. This was particularly unsatisfactory
to many thousands oil people who &C.
cupied advantageous positions in the
latter part OF the line OF march, for which
they had paid extravagant prices In some
cases.
THE TRlRSNIAL MEETING.
After the parade had terminated SO ab-
ruptly and disastrously to some OF the
spectators, the Sir Knights dined and then
the triennial meeting was held at the
Asylum on the Lake front. The meeting
was secret and it Is only known that the
usual committees, and that the report oi
the financial officers shows the order In
good condition, the dues from the Grand
Communicates in three years having
been S7,02l.
AT EXPOSITION HALL.
The brilliant exposition building was in
brilliant dress tonight to welcome the
guests who attended. The spacious hal
/ was more than double the size Of the di
mensions OF that used at the National Re
. publican Convention, and was so com
[ nlataly illad that walking about was Of
