 Clark Commandery No. ', of Water bury, halted just before wheeling into Commonwealth avenue and gave the lookers-on an opportunity to survey more at leisure the knights from the City of Brass, and the verdict was that the manhood of Waterbury was ster- ling, with no admixture of brass metal. The wheel was perfect and showed the results of the careful training given by Eminent Sir Fred A. Spencer, who is a past grand commander of Connecti- cut, and a military enthusiast, he hav- ing been a major in the late war
 Cyrene No. of Middletown presented an especially fine appearance, which the crowd was quick to note and reward as it passed into the avenue, and wave of applause followed the commandery as it disappeared down the avenue.
 Moodus Fife and Drum corps heralded Meriden No. g. and was hailed with de- light, sharing with the commandery in the plaudits of the crowd. The drum corps was in continental uniform, three cornered hats, blue coats with red fac- ings and high boots with buff tops. Meriden carried a particularly hand some banner and fittingly ended Con- necticut's representation and the sixth 1.- r { +l, Nf rI0Ie Ie division, and that was the equal of any in the parade.
 Everywhere the Connecticut knights were noted for their fine appearance and marching. Passing the grand com mandery stand at Copley Square, they were enthusiastically applauded. Irl= deed the spectators on Commonwealth avenue, liberal as they were with ap- plause and general praise. were apa- thetc compared with the crowds in Cop ley Square.
 The bands in the Connecticut division were especially remarked wherever they were heard. Where all were so good it is hard to single out one as pre-emi- neant, but the First Regiment band of Hartford (Colt's) was especially notice- able for the snap and vigor of its work, and its perfect time. The musicians con- tributed not aslittle to the brilliancy of the whole of Connecticut's success.

While in front of No 1,030 Washington street Sir Knight Guillard was overcome and was assisted to a nearby residence by his comrades. pr. J. c. Ely, surgeon of the Palestine commandery, attended the dying knight He fingered for three hours and then died. Sir Knight Guil- lard was about forty-five years of age, and leaves a widow and two children, aged twelve and fourteen respectively. | He was an old Boston boy having re- moved to New London about twenty years ago, where he had since been en- gagged in the tailoring business, under | the firm name of Strickland & Guil- l lard fancy tailors. Not beng very strong physically, the sultriness of the weather proved to much for Sir Gull lard. He was very popular man in his commandery, and was well beloved by all who knew him. His kind heart and generosity was shown by the fact that in spite of his slight constitution he was one of those who came forward and vol unteered to carry the banner, a very large and heavy one.
 At 12 o'clock last evening an escort of four knights from the commandery under the command of Sir Knight Sam uel Caulkins, who is himself an under taker, left Boston on the train for home with the body in their charge. A teIe- gram preceded them, informing the family of MT. Guillard of his death
