DENVER, Aug. 1O.-The rain of Monday
afternoon, while it rather spoiled the
beauty of some of the decorations, cooled
the air greatly and made life more pleas
ant for the thousands of visitors in the
city. Shortly after noon the showers COM
menced, and by 6 p. m. all was cool and
pleasant, where before it had been hot,
dry, and very uncomfortable. Prepare.
tions were going on all the time for the
grand parade. The chief smarshal's office
was busy place. All the positions had
been assigned long ago, but it was impos-
sible to tell just what Communicates would
be on hand to take the positions assigned
to them.
The Procession Moves.
Orders were issued to be in place at a.
m. yesterday, and at that time they were
all ready. After waiting an hour three
guns were fired and the head of the pro-
cession began to move. Just at the same
time Grand Master Goblin and his escort
St. Johns commandery, of Philadelphia
started from the Brown Palace hotel for
the official reviewing stand at Sixteenth
and Logan avenues. The line CT march
of the procession began on Fourteenth
street crossed over Court place to Sixteenth
street, then up Sixteenth avenue to the
reviewing stand to Race street, and then
returned TO the business section again
rade broke up at the Masonic Temple.
