All Ees erve Credit.
There were so many good-looking
communicates in line that it would be
impossible to mention all, but every one
| OF them deserves great credit for the
| magnificent appearance made. The
scenes on the streets during the parade
were full of life and animation. Every
| other resident of Denver was out, and
the suburbs and nearby cities sent
thousands. The bright costumes of the
ladies added to the attractiyeneSS of the
scene and contrasted nicely with the
beautiful decorations of the city.
Every other person wore some sort
of badge or another, and of course
Knight Templar badges predOminated,
for the sisters, cousins, aunts and other
relatives of these men were out in large
numbers. The decorations showed up
finely and attracted much attention ami
many kind remarks. 1t was a glorious
scene. and one never witnessed before
in Denver. There were nearly 100000
naNrto al Df
march when the parade started. In the
down town district spectators stood five
and ten deep; up town the crowd was
not as large, but every accessible point
of vantage was crowded. The score of
grand stands. public and private, were
packed, and every window along the
route was crowded as well as the
Roofs. Porches and Lawns
The downtown buildings were all
jammed with sight-seers. The same can
be said of the structures on the inter
secting streets. Wagons crowded with
spectators stood on the cross streets, and
many private houses had small stands in
front of them just large enough to ac-
commodate the family and few friends.
The court house, the new pOstoffice
were a sea of faces. The brilliant sun
when it did show through the light
clouds frightened up the decorations
and the handsome costumes OF the
ladies. The various stands with their
crowds of spectators presented
an animated spectacle with their
waving hands and hankerchiefS. 1t
was a good-natured, enthusiastic crowd,
ready to cheer everything and anybody.

sandwiches and other foods and drinks

proprietors will become wealthy with
today's business. Wires were stretched
from telegraph pole to pole and from
tree to tree to keep spectators from
intruding on the marcherS, aud it was
wise precaution. The various COM
manderieS were cheered as they passed
along, and expressions OF delight were
heard Oh every side.
Colorado Communicates
were cheered continually. Leadville's
band was led by boy on donkey.
Colorado No. made a fine appearance
and attracted considerable attention.
Boston's famous comnandery executed
various eyolutions in a mastery man
ner, and were cheered and applauded.
De Molay. of Washington, mounted,
looked well and rode well. ST. Ber-
nard's, of Chicago: the Philadelphia,
New York and California communicates
looked exceptionally well. There was
not pOOr-loOking cOmmandery in the
parade. All made good appear
ances. There were no bitches, and
everything passed off nicely. At
ter the parade scene of
great confusion ensued. Spectators
rushed hither and thther in their ell
deavOr to tind places on the cars. This
continued for half an hour, and then
the streets resumed their usual con-
claye appearance, and crowds wan
dered about jostling each other all dav.
The grand encampment went into SeS-
sion Immediately after the parade, but
little business was transacted, the buSi-
ness being confined for the most part to
the welcoming of officers by the repre-
SentatlveS of the city and state. Frank
B. Hill, the chairman of the triennial
executive committee, extended the
grand master and other officers of the
grand encampment
A Cordial Greeting
and introduced John L. Routt, the gov
ernOr Of the state, and Platt Rollers,
the mayor of Denver, each of whom de-
Gen. Carr, grand commander of Color
ado, likewise extended fraternal
greeting. and i'll responding Grand
Master Goblin spoke highly of the man
her i'll which the knights Templar in
general had been received. He stated
that everybody was more than pleased
with the reception that had been given
them and with all they had
their visit to the silver centennial
state would be something they would
always remember with a great deal of
pleasure and satisfaction. The grand
master closed his brief address bv
thanking the citizens of Denver and
Colorado for the complete preparations
they had made for the cOnclave and the
hospitality accorded to all the visitors
The roll call was then called and the
grand encampment went into secret
session, subsequently adjourning until
tomorrow morning at 9:30. The
Election of Officers.
of the grand encampment of the United
States for the ensuing three years will
take place Thursday, and it is probably
well settled that the successor of Grand
Master Goblin will be the present deputy
grand master, McCurdy. A great deal
OF the time of the encampment will be
taken up in considering the new ritual,
upon which special committee has
been working for year past. There
will probably also be some considerable
time spent in settling the location of
the twenty-siXth triennial conclave, as
two or three states are competing for
the honor. The fight will most likely
narrow down to Boston and the state
of Connecticut before it is taken
up for consideration, although
the present cities i'll the field are Louis
vile and Minneapolis, in addition to
Cincinnati and Boston. This evening a
round of social calls was carried on be-
tween the headquarters of the different
state communicates, these informal re-
ceDtions being the order of the evening.
All the rooms were gaily decorated
with silken banners and trophies OF the
particular state commandery, and the
hospitality extended to all callers in the
matter of refreshment is unbounded.
The Colorado headquarters were this
evening given up to reception by the
wives of Colorado knights to the ladies
