campment on the east boulevard at 10
O'CLOCK, marched across the long bridge
leading to the island park and to the
play ground commons on the easterlv
side of the island, where the biennial
inspection and review Of the uniformed
rank was held. The long line moved
In column of fours, down the boulevard
across the bridge, and through the drive
ways of the island. Two long lines Of
troops stretched from end to end of the
great field, the brigade and regimentaI
officers grouped to the fore In their an
proprfate places, the artillery and cavalry
on the left for the inspection formation.
The inspection proceeded, the major gen
eral and staff moving down and up the
long lines, their approach saluted by Of
f1cers, Knights and numerous bands of
music.
Gen. Carnahan then took station In
The center field, his army wheeled right
into company front and marched in re-
view in that formation. AS the head Of
each brigade passed the commander-in-

1.-THE grand electrical and fireworks
parade" of the Knights of Khorassan to-
night, which was announced as the spec
tacular feature Of Pythian week, resulted
In vast deal Of confusion. The police
mad made no arrangements for clearing
the streets along the line Of march. The
picturesquely clad Khorassans were
obliged to make their way through mar
row lines opened through the crowd
and much of the deliberately prepared
humorous features were lost to a great
majority CT the spectators.
Some $500 Of the Knights of the ftol-
licking branch Of the order, took part IN
the spectacle. The favorite airs PLAYED
by the numerous bands were Hot Time
in the Old Town." How Dry Am" and
the Nike. A great many of the marchers
carried var1-colored torches, others
swords and scimitars of antique origin
and pattern. The high potentate rode in a
canopied float, preceded by a represen-
tation of the NEUROLOGICAL temple Of the
order. There were several elaborate
electrically Illuminated floats and many
funny features. Following the parade
most Of the Khorassan knights boarded
trolley cars for the barbecue and mid
way, which opened this afternoon at JEFF
ferson park under auspices of the local
committee. Tomorrows principal fea-
lures will be the election of supreme Of
ficers and the prize drills.
