THE PARADE.
DENVER, Aug. 9-Pifty thousand
knights turned out to-day in the great
street pageant which forms the principal
feature of the triennial gathering of the
Knights Templsr. The communicates
began to assemble at nine O'Clock, but 1t
was almost eleven before they started. Al
though the line of march extended over
several miles, every inch of sidewalk on
tbs route was crowded from curb to build
ing line, every window was filled with
eager spectators and even the housetops
were covered with people watching the sea
of plumes that moved steadily forward like
the current of a mighty river many feet
beneath them.
Last nights shower had little effect on
the decorations, and they showed up bright
and handsome this morning. The air was
cool and bracing, and few fieecy clouds
at times hid the suu and prevented 1t
from exhibiting its full force upon the
people. The parade formed on Fourteenth
and Market streets, and moved up
Fourteenth street to Court place,
Court place to Sixteenth street, to
Broadway, to Sixteenth avenue, to Penn
sylvsnia avenue, Pennsylvania to Eight
zenith avenue, to Broadway. Broadway to
Seventeenth street, to Curtis street. Curtis
street to Nineteenth street, to Larimer
street, Lsrimer to Sixteenth street, |
Sixteenth street to Masonic temple on |
Welton street, where the divisions |
dispersed. Sir Frank B. Hill was grand |
marshal and Sir Julius B. Bissell chief of |
staff. In the third division, Right Emil |
nent Sir George F. Loder, grand command |
er of New York, commanding, were sew
enteen Communicates from New York, |
three from New Hampshire and three from
Connecticut.
