Yesterday morning dswned anything but
auspioiousy for the visit of Hugh de Payens
Commandery, K. T. to Portland Commandery.
| The rain, SO long stranger, came down with
a will, and throughout the earlier hours Of the
! day there was little prospect of clearing. AT
noon, however, the clouds broke away and the
| afternoon was all that could be desired.
THE PARADE.
A deputation of the reception committee
from Portland Commandery went cut on the
noon train to Biddeford where they met the
| Hugh de Payens and escorted them to the
city. The train was very heavy one, con-
sisting of fifteen cars, aud it was 1.3O P. ms
when it rolled into the Boston & Maine station
AT 1890 Portland Commandery fell in at the
Asylum and preceded by Chambers Band,
marched to the foot of State street, where the
visitors were received with due honors. The
line of march was then taken up over the
published route in the following order:
Chandler's Band. D. H. Chandler, leader-25 pieces.
Portland Commandery, =. e., Sir Knight Leander
W. Fobes-3S Sir Knights.
City Band, Boston, Hersey, leader.25 pieces.
Hugh de Payens Commandery-E. e., Sir Knight
N. j. Simonds-44 Sir knights.
The two bands played splendidly-the City
Band being the old NIedforI Band SO well
known here-and a great crowd tagged the
procession to the quar- tiers of the visitors at the
Falmouth Hotel. The Hugh de Payens were
attired in the black and gold regalia, instead OF
the black and silver,and wore black plumes in
their chapeaux instead OF white. They are
very fine looking set of men and both march
ed and drilled with precision. While they
had lint in, p1rc tharA q har
with their ladies-of whom about % accom-
panied the commandery-in carriages, and
some walked directly from the station to the
hotel where they registered seventy Sir knights
without the band. Many of the houses on the
line OF procession displayed flags, while the
Falmouth was gaily decorated without and
within. The following is full roster OF tho
