for the sun was pouring down his rays as
if into torrid zone and the general con-
dition of the atmosphere was what may
be termed sweltering. The throng was
mostly massed on Spring and Main
streets below second, for in this section
the procession would be in full swing and
they eagerly awaited the coming of the
pageant, whose approach was heralded
by the sound of martial music. The
first to appear was squadron of mount
ed police, whose appearance would have
satisfied the most vigilant martinez, for
they turned out as well as body of
military and their neat appearance was
the subject of general remark. Then
came the first brigade N. G. G. with
Brigadier- General H. H. Boyce and his
staff riding at the head of the column.
They marched well together and their
soldierly demeanor evidenced care
full training ard good citizenship.
The complimentary escort to the Lieuten
ant-General and the Patriarchs Militant
consisting of the Seventh Regiment N.
G. c., Colonel w. H. H. Russell, COM
manding, went by in splendid style and
then came Meine's band, with j. Harry
Conlan in gorgeous attire at their head,
as he twirled the baton of tambour-
major. The silken pennants of the Pa
triarchs Militant announced the appear
ance of Deputy Grand Sire-General Un-

staff under the command of Major-G Gen

to the wearers, who bestrode animals
that must have been the pick Of the city's
stables. The Chevaliers in two brigades,
under the command of Major General E.
E. Phelps, came next, the San Bernar-
dino contingent leading the way. The
First Brigade consisted of the troops OF
the Grand Department of the Pacific,
Brigadier-General E. X. Russell COM
manding, and the second of the troops
without the Grand Department of the
Pacific, Colonel Homer w. Pond COM
manding. They marched three deep with
banners representing the differentC Cantons
borne by standard bearers at their
heads, and presented very pleasing dis
play. San Francisco was we'll repre-
sented, and the Oakland contingent
added to the effect of the line by having
superb floral decorations carried by one
of their number. The Orion Encamp-
ment was rendered noticeable by its
handsome banner. and when the San
Diego Chevaliers had passed, a band
heralded the approach of the Sacramento
and Sherman Cantons. The elegant flag
of Red Bluff was much admired, and
with loud tattoo came the Arrapahoe
Drum and Bugle Corps, of Denver, Colo.
They were loudly applauded in response
to the music with which they entertained
the onlookers and gave good evidence
that their reputation had not been over
rated. As soon as the news went around
that the Marion, Ind, Canton was ap-
preaching general feeling of interest
was apparent for the fact of their having
won the 81 900 prize for the best drill at
Cincinnati last July was well known.
They performed various military evolu.

hearty applause of the admiring specta-
tors. Some more Coloradoans came next
