The weather was fine and the ~eonneetion be-

Pennsylvania avenue was made in time. Thus
fortune smiled ON the knights Templar today.
Their splendid lines, with plumes nodding
and gided bannerets, the masses of
spectators, the flying flags and streamers all
made in the sunshine a spectacle not soon to
be forgotten. The parade had the advantage,
which the Knights Templar have enjoyed at no
other conclave, Of having the widest and
smoothest streets in the country to march over.
All along the route the streets were thronged
with spectators. The parade moved promptly
over the prescribed route from the Capitol
grounds along 1st to B street northeast,
b street to 1st street northwest, LIST
street to Pennsylvania avenue, Pennsylvania
avenue westward to Washington circle, around

either side prevented their escape. This af-
forded amusement for hundreds of persons. who
yelled at the top of their voices until the
frigh tened dogs were gotten on the run. and
then they were whooped up all along the line
KNIGHTS AsrRAY
Around the monument two or three dozen
sir knights who had got astray from their COM
mandery gathered to remain there and fall
in line as their Communicates came along.
''We'll call ourselves the 'straggiers said one
of the party" and fall in line in the rear with
the Oldest past commander with us in
the lead" Such proceeding, however, did
not prove necessary, for when the empty
carriages came along some one said Come on,
boys, and they went. Instead OF having to
march over the route they were conveyed in
the carriages. As the time for the procession
to start drew near the crowd grew larger and
larger, until every available inch was occupied
