In the ranks of Ohio Valley lodge
were led a goat and two kids, with rib
bons on them. They caused much
merriment all along the line. This
lodge also had a banner which was
magnificent
There were over q dozen bands in the
line, and music galore all along the
route. The streets were crowded with
people enthusiastic in their admiration.
Many prominent people were in line,
and the appearance the knights made
| surprised sven their friends, and in
fact, some OF the members, who for tine
first time got an idea how strong the
order is in West Virginia.
Parkersburg admittedly has the crack
division. Ash appeared in the ranks
It was composed as follows: officers:
Captain, L. B. Baker; lieutenant, L, W.
Warwick; Herald, c. Z. Morrison; right
guide, L. W. Grimm; loft guide, ]. b.
Aker. L. D. Bailey, |. A. Bee, j. l.
Cramer, W. E. Davis, W. II. Dunbar,
c. P. Dudley, W. r. Freed, George X.
Gumbrill, I. j. Garrett, Adolph Hiehla,
Harry G. HOPKINS, ]. S. Paxton, Z. K.
Prince, Ben G. Rauch, W. n. Smoot, q.
r. Taylor, G. 7. Taylor and Lieutenant
Paul Prayer.
A sextette Of the handsomest knights
in the Grafton division were Messrs. A.
C. Love. Alonzo Bartlett, w. w. Wood
ward, T. j. McAvay, DR.. Abe Warder
and Postmaster James W. Holt.
The Fairmont division presented an
attractive appearance, led by the Fair
mont silver band Of thirteen pieces and
handsomely uniformed. The band is
worthy OF special note, being composed
entirely OF young men, every INT a born
musician.
The Opera House band, of Grafton,
furnished some OF the best music OF the
day. 1t has few superiors among tho
musical organizations OF the state. The
Grafton division also won many com
pliments.
There were eleven full cars on the
special trains that went out to the park
at 4 o'clock, and not less than a thou:
sand Knights and their friends enjoyed
a general good time at that resort till
dark. 1t was n OF the most enjoyable
gatherings seen there this season, al
though there was no formal programme
OF exercises.
THE FLAMBEAU DRILL.
Never was such a scene witnessed in
Wheeling as that on Market street last
night The announcement that the
Parkersburg Flambeau club would give
an exhibition drill drew 20 that street
as many people as it could hold. The
sidewalks were densely packed, and
much OF the street itself go, full OF peo-
pie that it was impossible to pass. In
deed, the drill almost had to be aban-
doned, owing to the unmanageable
throngs.
About 8 o'clock tho club appeared, in
white uniforms, with the ~flambeaux,
and drilled under great difficulties.
The club is made up as follows: Cap
tain, S. B. Baker; first lieutenant, =. W.
Warwick; second lieutenant, c. E.
Morrison; Z. ". Grimm, W. Fl. Dun;
bar, F. D. Bailey. u. I. Taylor, G. t.
Taylor, AuOlpn Illeule, f. I. LaLItEVPI
W. Z. McDougall, ]. A. Bee, E.. R
Prince, W. K. Freed, @. I. Dudley,
George X. Gambrill, Paul Prayer, 7. ].
Garnett, Ben G. Rauch, ]. S. Paxton,
w. L. Davis, j. L, Cramer, W. N.
Smoot, Harry @. Hopkins, f. +. Aker.
The drill is novel as 1t is neat, and 1t
provoked much enthusiasm. The only
drawback was the density Of the crowd
on the streets. Not less than 10000
people congregated on Market street
from Twelfth TO Sixteenth, and most OF
these packed themselves into the street
north OF the alley below Twelfth street
before the drill was begun.
As the club marched up Market
street before the parade the street was a
solid mass of fire from housetop to
housetop. Every member had either a
redtire stick or a roman candle, besides
his torch. 1t was a scene never to be
forgotten.
This afternoon there will BIO a competi-
tive drill on the State Fair grounds be-
tween visiting divisions OF the uniform
cd rank, which will be very enjoyable
and doubtless draw largo crowds.
