The number OF bands In the column was

The head Of the column first began to
strike the great crowds at 18th and Penn

though close packed. was not too dense for
comfort, but around and opposite the richly
decorated reviewing stand of the President

parade progressed, and at the Intersection
of New York avenue and 18th street the
police worked hard to keep the roadway

this line were rewarded with Just measure
OF triumph.

knights on the grounds. Huge banana

cdor that Is very attractive end draws the
steps of many of the visitors in that direc-

mass OF OraLges, guavas, bananas, pine
apples and other characteristic fruits. A
huge stuffed alligator ornaments the front
of Col. Meyersons tent, while a number Of
other characteristic Florida products are
exhibited In a manner to attract attention
Members of the Ivanhoe Division wear
with their fatigue uniforms white duck
caps ornamented with small stuffed alli-

distinguishing mark of the Florida knights.

Some Camp Notes.
Camp George Washington has rival of
Steve Brodie in its population. The name
of the bridge jumper is Prof. Belmont. and
he holds forth with the Pennsylvania
knights. He makes a proud display Of the
medals which he has won by his nerve in
jumping from the Brooklyn bridge. a dis
lance of 1872 feet.
No drunkenness Is observable in camp.

made II possible for pedestria, on the south
side to move away. When the parade was
over there was a rush for the street cars
but IL was SOM time after dark before the
cars could carry away the thousands OF
spectators.
During the parade several OF the visiting
Pythians were taken sick because OF the
heat, and had to be cared for either in a

None of the sick ones were dangerously i'll

A SPLENDID PAGEANT.
The Pythian Parade Pronounced n
Great Success.

The Pythian Parade Pronounced n
Great Success.
The Pythian parade was one Of the finest
paReants ever seen on Pennsylvania avenue,
and its light will shine for years In the
memory Of Washington. The countermarch
on Pennsylvania avenue was a departure
from tie routine of parades. and in recogni-
ton of its merit and its beauty the populace
cheered approval. The avenue was full,
both sides and the two ends of glittering,
disciplined soldiery. 1t was a moving,
marching, ever-changing phalanx, the equal
of which occurs but once in a generation.
1t was not the superior in point Of size Of
some military displays which at other times
have trod the streets Of our fair city, but in
point of martial spectacularism, excellence
of drill and order, its superior Is not set
down in the diary of the city.
