President Review ihc brilliant Procession
or Knights.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. a0.-The feature of
the Pythian cneampment was the grand
parade of the uniform rank Fifteen
thousand knights were in line, marching
by state brigades, and tho procession was
more than two hours In passing the pres
idential reviewing stand. Pennsylvania
avenue was crowded with more than lpO,-
GOO people large proportion OF them be-
ing visitors from out Of tho city
The president reviewed the procession
from a small stand erected on the curb
just in front Of the White House. He was
accompanied by Colonel Kaloe, chief of
staff, representing the knights Of pythins
and Colonel Wilson, United States ongi-
neers.
The procession was greeted by cheers by
a crowd Of several hundred people assem-
bled about tho entrance OF tho White
House. Tho president walked slowly to
the wosteTn gate and thence along the
sidewalk, which had been inclosed by
ropes, to the stand As he stood up the
crowd broke into cheers and hand clap
ping, which continued for several min
utes, while the object Of their attention
removed his hat and bowed his acknowl-
edgments Then ensued a rather disa-
greeable wait for the procession, which
was late. The president seated himself
and waited patiently for fully 20 minutes
before the head Of the line appeared Then
he arose, and as the knights swept past
he acknowledged the salutations Of the
commanding officers by bowling repeat
edly
The scene was a brilliant one, looking
down the mile stretch Of the avenue, with
double lines of marching men, buildings
covered with bunting and spectators at
all windows and packing the open spaces
and improvised stands.
At the head of tho line rode the mem
bers Of the citizens committee in black
'lothes and tail hats, escorted by three
.rack militia organizations of the city.
After them came Major General Carna-
han and his staff on horseback All the
Knights were uniformed in black broad
cloth frock coats, with silver buttons, red
belts and white or silver helmets, with
heavy scarlet plumes Their officers were
mounted and richly uniformed. Ev
cry division was headed by a band and
displayed hands1me banners. Major Con
eral Carnahan reviewed the line near the
treasury department on its return march.
