There was much regret when the parade
broke, for it was such pageant that the
spectators never seemed tired Of watching.
Large numbers Of the grand encampment
were escorted 10 the asylum with fitting
honors The supreme body of the knights
was ia session all the afternoon for the real
business Of the encampment. Very little
was accomplished this afternoon, but to-
morrow work will be done in earnest and
continued until finished
The election of officers occurs Tuesday.
in the meantime there is the report of the
ritual committee TO consider, and fight for
the next concave is going on between Bos-
ton oDd Cincinnati Louisville and Mime
apolis are also in the race
THE DETAILS OF TEE PARADE
show that not the slightest hitch occurred.
The grand encampment officers reached the
reviewing stand q few minutes after 10
O'clock and the grand parade, headed by
the Colorado commandery, made its ap-
pear6nce before the grand stand at 1880.
There were nearly two hundred thousand
people scattered along the line Of march
when the parade started. Scores were in
the grand stand, and public and private
places were packed and every window
along the route crowded, as well as roofs,
porches and lawns.
Down town the buildings were ell
jammed With sightseers, and spectators
stood i've TO ten deep on the sidewalks.
It was q good-uatured, enthusiastic crowd,
ready to cheer everything and everybody.
Various Communicates were cheered as
they passed along and expressions Of de-
light were heard on every side.
After the parade
SCENE OF GREAT CONFUSION
ensued, but the streets finally resumed the
usual cOnciave appearance.
The business at the grand encampment
was confined principally to welcoming the
officers by representatives OF the city and
state Frank Nell, chairman of the tri-
cordial greeting and Governor Routt and
Mayor Rogers each delivered an address
Of welcome.
General Cary, grand commander of
Colorado. extended fraternal greetings
Grand Master Cohen in responding spoke
highly OF the manner in which the knights
Templar were received.
After the addresses the grand encamp-
ment went into secret session. and subse-
quently adjourned till tomorrow.
1t is probably definitely settled that the
successor TO Grand Master Goblin will be
the present deputy grand master.
This evening a round Of social calls were
exchanged between the various head
quarters. informal receptions being the
order Of the evening.
The Colorado headquarters were given
up 70 a reception by the wives Of the Colo
RADIO knights TO the visiting tenplars.
IL is hardly likely that the competitive
viii be held and silver bricks that have
been made will be presented to the smartest
commandery.
