IDEAL WEATHER.
With iust enough cloudiness TO lessen
| the effect of the SUMS brightness the
knights had an ideal day for their pa
| rade. Broadcloth uniform coats were
| little too thick for comfort, perhaps, but
| the Knights did not appear to mind such
| n slight inconvenience, and made mag
| nifcent showing with their waving plumes
| and gold and silver acoutrements.
The parade assembled at Camp Wash
| ington, on the monument grounds, at
O'Clock. and marched up Seventeenth
| street to Pennsylvania avenue. where the
| procession turned eastward. and the
| knights marched in review before Presi-
dent Cleveland. A small stand. deco
| rated appropriately, had been erected IN
| front of the White House. and on this the
| President stood during the entire time
| occupied by the procession in passing.
