Officers Of the Knights Tenn
plar Report Business Well
in Hand,


were viewing Denver and its uburbs
today, that is. those who were not in at
tendance at the grand encampment or
who were not engaged in looking after
the comforts of the guests in various
clubs and headquarters. The weather
was delightful and the visitors enjoyed
it immensely. All day and far into the
night the street cars were crowded and
SO were the sidewalks. Several com
manderies left the city early this morn
ing and journeyed around the loop
and to other points of interest.
The smelters ard other milling
plants also received many visitors
during the day. The courteSies
were exchanged between different
clubs in the shape of visits and sere-
nades. Bands marched to and fro all
day, and there was good cheer every
where. Fewer waving plumes were
seen, for the Knights were in fatigue
uniform, and they wandered about
at will, accompanied IN nearly every
case by their female relatives. The
principal event of the day, outside the
meeting of the grand encampment, was
Ine EEXnlDstaOn Drill
in River Front park. 1t is estimated
that at least 5000 spectators witnessed
it, and. although only two command
cries had entered, everybody was we'll
satisfied with the exhibition. Grand
Master Goblin had forbidden cOmpeti-
tive drill. and many companies which
had entered declined to take partlin the
exhibition drill, but they pr obably
regret it now; for St. Bernard IS. of Cho
cago. and California No. l. the only two
communicates which entered, will re-
ceive handsome presents from the Den
yer chamber Of commerce. They will
probably he the silver bricks which
were intended for prizes in the cOmpeti-
tive drill. The California knights
drilled first. They were mounted on
handsome black horses and were attired
in black suits trimmed with silver.
They presented handsome appearance.
There were twenty-five men III line,
headed by six trumpeters from the Sew
eDth United States cavalry,
Custer's Fighting Musicians.
Sir r. p. Hurlbut was in command,
and his men were:
j. P Frazer, G. W. Bennett. j. F. Logan,

Norton, j +. Clark, Ii. H. Williams, James

/. Stallion, Adolph Homada, Col. Il. J.. Crow
ley. Paul BOetcher, George Harms, Thomas
Flint Jr., ". II F. Titus.
The various cavalry evolutions were
gone through. The columns, diamonds,
crosses and circles were formed amid
the greatest applause, and the com
mandery retired knowing that they had
pleased the people. Then st. Bernard
cammandery, of Chicago. marched in,
headed by the George w. Cook drum
corps. II. q. PurntOn was in command,
and there were twenty-five swords i'll
line. The corps was composed of
c. c. Crab, F. c. Roundy. q. D. Eddy, 5. ID.

w. L. Householder, Ernie Gehrke, William
l.. Tuller, A. E. Dorner and George Weidy
The ST. Rernards
drilled on foot. Templar tactics. Their
column formations could not be eX-
celled. They were simply perfect. The
platoons wheeled perfectly, and equal
distances were observed between the
marching sets. Several very difficult
double rank movements were executed
OF marching pivot and drew forth
much applause. The drill ended by
the formation of fancv figures. and the
men walked off the field covered with
glory and dust. Promptly at 10 o'clock
the California Knights thre W open their
reception rooms at the chamber of
commerce. and the visiting Knights
began to thrOng in. This is one
of the largest halls in the city, and it
was soon filled. Refreshments were
served OH set of tables arranged in
| the form of a hollow square. During
the afternoon Ashland commandery, of
Wisconsin, was formally received. Then
| followed a reception for all the visiting
| Knights, and they attend ed IN large
| numbers. 1t was stated that there was
only one Indian knight attending the
| cOnclave. This is = mistake, according
to Sir Robert w. Hill, eminent COM
mander of Muskogee, the only COM
mander in Indian territory. He says
| he has six Indians in his commandery,
representing respectively the Choctaw,
| the Cherokee and the Creek tribes. All
] of them are
Leading Chiefs
| in the Indian nation. Mr.. Hill states
| that there are fifty-SiX lodges in the In
| dian territory. st. John cOmmanderv,
| of Providence, X. l.. has one of the pref
test and most expensive badge pins
seen at the conclave. 1t is made of sill
yer and gold. and is in the form of a
sword to which is attached shield,
| giving the armorial bearings of the
commandery. On the hilt is the word
"Denver" in raised letters. Sir Andrew
B. Eddy is generalissimo of the COIN
mandery. The WOrcester-Denver asso-
citation occupies special train which is
located in the union depot yards. The
| commandery has kept open house since
its arrival, and has already entertained
several hundred people. Sol Smith Rus
sell visited the boys the other night
and they had jolly time. One Of the
Sir knights accompanying the delega-
| ton is John p. Munroe, city editor of
the Worcester Spy. The Spy is one Of
the oldest papers in the United States.
1t was founded In Boston in ITO. and
during the British occupation it was
moved to its present location. st. Johns
Commandery No. 4, of Philadelphia, at
tended one of the Wild West shows to-
night.
