DENVER, Aug. 9.-The grand Knights
Templar parade began at 10 o'clock this
morning. The divisions presented a
magnificent appearance, and there was
much regret when the parade broke, for
it was such a pageant that the spectators
never seemed tired of watching it. The
members of the Grand Encampment
were escorted to the asylum with fitting
honors, and the Supreme body OF
knights were in session all afternoon for
real business of the encampment. Very
little was accomplished this afternoon,
but tomorrow the work will be done in
earnest and continued until finished.
The election of officers occurs Thursday.
In the mean time there is the report of
the Ritual Committee to be considered,
and the fight for the next Conclave is
quietly going on between Boston and
Cincinnati, with Louisville and Mime
apOlis also in the rear.
The details of the parade were so per-
feet that not the slightest hitch occurred.
The Grand Encampment officers reached
The reviewing stand lew minutes after
10 O'clock, and the grand parade, headed

Nearly 10000 people were scattered
along the line OF march when the parade
started. Scores OF grand stands, public
and private, were packed, and every win
dow along the route was crowded, as well
as zoos, porches and lawns. Downtown
the buildings We're all jammed with
sightseers, and spectators stood tive to ten
deep on the sidewalk. 1t was a good
natured, enthusiastic crowd, ready to
cheer everything and everybody. The
various communicates were cheered as
they passed along, and expressions of de-
light were heard on every side.
After the parade a scene OF great con-
fusion ensued, but the streets finally re-
sumed their usual conclaye appearance.
The business of the Grand Encamp-
ment was confined principally to well
coming officers by Representatives of the
city and State. Frank b. Hill, Chairman
of the Triennial Executive Committee,
extended cordial greeting, and Governor
Routt and Mayor rogers each delivered
addresses of welcome.
1euerdl Carr, NFduu commander OF
Colorado, extended fraternal greetings
Grand Master Goblin, in responding,
spoke highly of the manner in which the
knights Tenplar were received.
After the addresses the Grand Encamp-
ment went into secret session, and SUISSE
quently adjourned till tomorrow.
1t is probably definitely settled that the
successor OF Grand Master Goblin will be
the present Deputy Grand Master Nc
Curdy. This evening around the various
headquarters informal receptions being
the order of the evening, the Colorado
headquarters were given up to recep-
ton by the wives of the Colorado knights
to the ladies. accompanying the visiting
Templars.
1t is hardly likely that a competitive
drill will take place, but an exhibition
drill will be held and the silver bricks
that have been made will be presented
to the smartest Communicates
