was reached about 1890 O'clock. The
multitude awaiting the arrival OF the
grand encampment officers at the review
lag stand started enthusiastic cheering as
the cowboys in their picturesque costumes
appeared, which was continued until Grand

PASSING OF THE PARADE.
It was some time before the head Of the
parade reached the stand but the Cowboy
band entertained the large throng during
the wait with excellent music. With waving
plumes and flying banners accompanied by
bands Of music, which were placed every
block, the great parade passed the official
renewing stand. 1t took over three hours
for the knights TO file by, and although the
march was a long one none OF them suf-
farai from the heat, as the sun was
hidden during the entire parade by
cloIls. A better day for the purpose could
not have been made to order. There were
nearly two dozen public stands scattered
along the line of march. They held from
100 to 1000 people each; besides, there were
innumerable private stands, and every win
dow in the business blocks was crowded
with sight seers. -.-
f DENVER HOSPITALITY.
Unlike the business men of the eastern
cities those of Denver did not charge for the
privilege of looking out of the windows, and
visitors took advantage Of their kindness.
There was a charge, though, for seats in the
#public stands, and at 10 O'Clock $40 would
not purchase one. They were packed from
&top to bottom, while the streets about them
were filed with a living mass. The
a beautiful costumes of the ladies added to
the scene. The sidewalks were lined ten to
tWenty feet deep. Boxes and barrels were
&ln demand as standing places, and long
Sheaded Rrocerymen made many dollar by
Tetallng these articles.
THE DECORATIONS.
Last nights shower had little effect on
the decorations and they showed up bright
Hand handsome this morning. the air was
cool and it is one Of the pleasantest days
imaginable
M Every other person wore q badge, and
there was hardly woman to be seen who
did not wear some sign denoting she had q
husband or brother belonging to the knights
1t was an enthusiastic gathering
and none were more enthusiastic
than those who came from the mountains
anu stood with sombreros and spurs among
the spectators. They had never seen such q
gathering before and they made the most
#ot their opportunity. 1t was a good
natured crowd, too, and the Knights were
heered to the echo as they marched along
iooklnR happy and proud.
