They demanded an opening. A passage

to render the Battle of Gettysburg"
Presently there was a narrow oblong
line in the sea Of humanity, and through
| it the cream of the first regiment flowed
like gulf stream through the ocean. The
/, marching order was:
Companies A, z, c, D, z, and G, and Troop
| Il, the Cavalry battalion.
The troop was in command Of Capt. Ash

A, Capt Rinehart; B. Capt Booth: c. Capt
Howell; u, Lieu. saum; +, Ingrahsm; +, Capt.
Wiseberger: G, Capt. Billings.
OF these companies, A is of Olympia; b,
ID and f and Col. Green's staff, of Sc
| attic, and c and G, of Tacoma. Col. Hen
ry Landes, regimental paymaster, repre-
sented Port Townsend.
Owing to the great crowd the militia was
compelled to march in twos, and even
with two abreast they had to hold their
elbows close to their sides. Each COM
| handing officer saluted for the entire
company as the governor and staff were
passed
Gov. Ferry was in civilians dress, and
military etiquette required that his mill
tary secretary. Maj. Ayers. appear in SIM
liar dress. There were 80 militiamen in
the review parade. Peppery, enliyening
airs were played as they marched priskly
| about, and while this was going on the i'm
mense audience cheered enthusiastically.
Everybody seemed to be congratulating
! King county on the enthusiasm OF Its
delegation. Senator Allen said it was
most inspiring sight. Immediately after

WHEREAS The Odd Fellows mayor, officials
and citizens OF the city of Seattle have cooper

and the expositon management in their efforts

ington Industrial exposition at Tacoma such
marked success.
Kesotred, That We the Commercial Club of
Tacoma. resident Odd Follows of Tacoma and
| the EXPOSITION management, do hereby tender
| TO these various parties our most sincere and
| fellowship COMMERCIAL CLUE OF TACOMA,
ODD FELLOWS OF TACOMA,
EXPOSITION MANAGEMENT.
In relation to the above resolutions and
! especially the item in an evening paper re-
| hecting on the Seattle committee on the
excursion train and accusing them of
| making an effort to 'sidetrack' Tacoma,
I /. A. Manning, of the committee who
went from Tacoma to Hot Springs to meet
| the Odd Fellows, said to a Posi- INTELLI-
| GESCER reporter that there was no truth in
| the report.
''On the contrary" said Mr.. Manning
| "the Seattle committee did their best in
| the interest of both cities, and worked
| heart and soul with our committee as we
| did with them. At Seattle and at all
times during the day they kept
| the utmost good faith with the
Tacoma committee The thing the Joint
committees had to fight was the effort of
the Portland committee, headed by DR..
George II. Chance, to sidetrack both Seat
tie and Tacoma, claiming that things would
| be all wrong if the excursion did not reach
Portland at ] o'clock this friday evening
in order to get an excursion down the
river at o'clock Saturday morning. This
effort was backed by three or four vigor-
Gus kickers on the train, and our work
had to be with each individual on the
train in order to combat this influence"
Secretary Schafner, of the Commercial
| Club. extolled Seattle and King county,
and President Collyer, of the exposition,
said he was simply too full of ex-
ubrance for utterance. He said he
| had seen nothing like it before.
Mr.. Echafner wanted it known that Sc
attic has done nobly. 1t is great show
| ing Further" said he. Seattle by
working tremendously with Tacoma to-
| day has downed Portland. Port
land had 1t arranged to put the
Odd Fellows right through to that
city without stopping here at all. Seattle
| stood by Tacoma and Tacoma stood by
Seattle, and As result We have had the
pleasure Of the presence in both our cities
| of the visiting Odd Fellows"
Nothing seemed too good for Seattle and
King county.

county visitors could be ferreted out with
