How 1t Was Formod-Twenty.fiv five Thou-
sand Plumed knights In Liuc.
DENVER, Col, August 9.-This was
tho day OF tho great Knights Templar
parade. Crowds thronged the streets
from early morning and up to the pre-
sent time there are 1000 visitors in
the city. Every one Of the beautiful
costumes Of the ladies added to tho gay
scene. The sidewalks wore lincd ten to
twcnty feet deep. Boxes and barrels
woro in demand and severul long-hcad-
ed crocerymen nado small fortunes re-
failing those articles. There was no
more enthusiastic crowd than the men
from tho mountains with their som.
breros. They had never seen such q
gathering before and they made the
most OF their opportunity. 1t was o
good natured crowd, too. The Knights
.wero cheerel to the echo as they
marched along, looking happy and
proud.
Fully20,o conditional knights arrived
in the city yesterday and nearly half
that number this morning It Is calcu-
lated that not fewer than %, 900 people
participated in the parade.
A spLESDdD PAGEANT.
The handling of these knights was ac-
complished with considerable dexterity.
They were divided into fourteen divi.
sions, to each OF which wgs assigned
streets for forming upon. The arrange.
ments we're so perfect that every divi.
sion moved into line in splendid order,
All along the line the people crowded
go as to form an unbroken line three
miles in length, and there could not
have been less than 200, 600 people view
ing the magnificent pageant. The
grand encampment officers were driven
from their headquarters at the Brown
place in carriages 10. the official review
ing stand on the corner OF Logan and
Sixteenth avenue, accompanied by their
escort, st. Johns Commandery No. 4,
of Philadelphia, and tho famous Cow
boy band Of Pueblo, Colo. The review
stand was reached about 10:S0 o'clock.
AS the cowboys in their picturesque
costumes came in view, tho multitude
awaiting the arrival OF the grand en-
campment officers at the stand, started
enthusiastic cheering which was con-
tinued until Grand Master Goblin took
his seat.
THREE HOURS IN PASSING.
It was some time before the head Of
the parable reached the reviewing
stand, but the cowboy band entertained
the large throng during the wait with
excellent music.
It took over three hours for the
knights ito file by, and although the
march was a long one, none OF them suf-
fered from the heat, as the sun was
hidden during the entire parade by the
clouds.
