TIE VICTORY.

FORT WORMS GALLANT KNIGHTS WHO
BORE OFF TIE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
THE TRIP TO TERRELL.
The initlatory trip and drill by the Uni
form Division, Knights Of Pythiss, OF
Fort Worth, seems not only to have been
exceedingly enjoyable but eminently sue
cessful. THE GAZETTE has recently pub
llshed accounts of the meeting of the
grand lodge Knights of Pythias at Terrell,
but the best news was received yesterday,
when 1t was learned that that body had
given premium of 500 to the Fort Worth
division for its splendid appearance and
skillful drilling. The boys had only been
drilling about month, and at most eX-
pected but to receive the thanks of their
brethren for making the trip. They not
only earned the appreciation of their
lodge, however, but won their way TO the
hearts OF the Terrellites, and captured
the substantial token referred to above
from the grand lodge.
The trip was attended with the usual
number of pleasant Incidents Upon ar
met at the depot by reception
committee and Meme Bros band,
and escorted to the Harris hotel,
where arrangements had been made
TO entertain them. At 8 p. M Tuesday
the grand procession formed, after which
public meeting was held by the citizens
of Terrell and visiting Knights. Upon
the return OF the division to the Knights
of Pythias hall repeated calls were echoed
for an exhibition drill by the Fort Worth
Uniform division. The request was com
Piled with, and not a single error was
made, although some complicated and
beautiful movements were executed. The
streets and windows were filed with spec
tators, whose loud and frequent applause
evuced their appreciation.
A grand bali and banquet was on the
programme for the nights entertainment,
| From the fact that bevy OF handsome
Young ladies were on hand when the train
made It's departure for the return trip, II
is quite probable that Senator TerrelPS
advice about love making had been well
taken. 1t is needless TO say the Mistle'
toe representation from the Fort were
not "wall flowers"
| The next meeting Of the grand lodge
will be held at San Antonio, and that
body will again give premium OF SlOl
| TO the most successful Uniform division.
| II is believed that the Fort Worth boys
will compete. At present there are only
three Uniform divisions in the state, but
by that time there VIII probably be twice
the number. The prize will probably be
raised to several hundred dollars by San
| Antonio.
The ladies Of Terrell, mostly wives
sisters and sweethearts Of the Knights
made and presented that lodge
with beautiful banner. 1t Is limited
that a ike movement in Fort Worth
would be heartily appreciated by the
Uniform division. The following Is a list
of the officers and knights who went e
