Awarding the Prizes at Night.

Of the Select knights OF A. y. u. w d.
of Missouri, came to an end yesterdav a.,
and the great majority of the attend
ing Knights left the city on lastnight's
train. The greatest measure of the
success of the encampment is due TO
Sedalia Legion No. 5. They have
been interchangeable in their efforts
to make everything 60 off right, and
the non-success of the encampment
cannot be traced to single defect or
direlectioD of theirs. In truth the en-
tire affair was a success, except in
point of members.
