The line OF March extended west to
Main, north on Main TO Elm, east on Elm
to Market, and south on Market to Eng
lish and north on Main to Douglas, where
the divisions were dismissed and broke
ranks.
At the government building the parade
was reviewed by Gen. Lyon and staff.
The parade was one Of the finest ever
held in the state and presented an i'm
posing appearance. As the rain made
the unpaved streets impossible the line OF
march was altered from the one first in
tended. The drilling of the men was ex-
cellent and the department OF the different
divisions, including the Light infantry,
displayed careful training.
After the parade the band contest took
place on First street in front of the old
court house, it being impossible to have
this held at the fair grounds. The contest
was between the Hutchinson and the Kid
bands, the Winfield band not being pres
ent. Each band played several selections
and did remarkably well, especially con-
sidering the rain which had again set in
and was coming down in torrents. The
judges were James Hobbs. Charles Frank
and g. NJ. Brown. The score showed
Hutchinson to have gotten 93 out OF a
possible 100 and Caldwell So. The Hutch
inson band received first prize and the
Caldwell boys second prize.
Last evening the bril- given the knights
and their Ladies' was grand success in
on the floor at one time Shaw's full or
chestra furnished music. The grand march
was led off by S. B. Amidon and Miss Lucy
Ford. During the march and counter
marching, three distinct triangles were
formed, representing one of the emblems
Of the order.

No. 2, Uniformed Rank knights of
Pythias. II. l.. Piper. Orb Bryan, l. I.

Garfield hall was beautifully decorated,
and one end of the hall was covered with
bunting, with the colors of the order, with
the word welcome inscribed thereon.
Festooning in colors of the order and the
national colors, which blended beau
tifully, was suspended overhead, form
ing triangles in every direction. The
electric light globes were inclosed
in globes of three colors heavy
the letters f. c.. B., in the center of the
hall were suspended by triangles of bunt-
ing. On each side of the hall were the
knights of Pythias coat of arms, and in
the center the United States coat of arms.
The object of the decorator, Mr.. G. w.
Clark, was to convert the hall into
Pythian hall in every respect and succeed
ed admirably. Although the largest
gathering the Garfield hall has seen for
years was assembled they all had good
time.
