Entertainment by Mobiles of Fl Zarib
 ah and Daughters of Isis

The Honolulu pilgrims were given the right of way. yesterday afternoon. The pilgrims consist of the Imperial Potentate of North America, Lou B.. Winsor of Reed City, Mich, and his escou. embracing nobles from more than half the states in the Union, be- sides New Jersey. The object of the pilgrimage is Honolulu. where they will build a temple named Aloha and erect a shrine. The pilgrims congregated at Detroit and started on their long Journey more than week ago. This journey. by the way is the longest ever taken for sucn purpose. The escort. under the auspices of Saiaiin Temple. Grand Rapids, Mich, consists of about 160 nobles. many of whom are accompanied by wives and sisters.
 Short stops have been made at the more prominent places along the route. The next one will be at Los Angeles and the last at San Francisco. The pill grimage will cover about a month from San Francisco.
 Fl Zarihah temple of Phoenix had made great preparation for the recep- tion of the visitors, who were expected shortly after noon. The great banquet hall of the temple was prepared. tables were spread and laden for 250 guests and row after row of receptacles filled with gem gem and goats milk stood ready for the refreshing of the fam ished pilgrims. The hall was garlanded with smilax and was bright with flow CTS. At one end a huge scimitar and oA ha yo The hrQ e nobles of the Mystic Shrine and the lovely Daughters of Isis had gathered to meet and cheer and comfort the wearied guests.
 Then came a period of delays 20 that it was not until shortly before o'clock that word was received of the early arrival of the visitors. The nobles and the daughters gathered at the Santa Fe derot along with a consider. able part of the population of Phoenix. the Indian school band and Chinese band chartered by the shrine by the year The train bearing the pilgrims steamed In on the NJ. X P. and then there was another delay cccas,oned by the shifting of the camels from the Southern Pacific to the Santa Fe en- zine. As the train drew up to the Santa Fe depot the Indian school band struck up tune which died away with the stopping of the train. Then the Chinese band struck up and many of the pilgrims who had alighted hurried ly got on the train and signaled the engineer to go on or go back or side- ways or up, any way 60 as to keep go- ing.
 The visitors were finally treasured and were asked whether they would rather have the banquet or the bronco busting first. They naturally agreed on the broncos. A half dozen horses with good regulations for cussedness were anchored along the track near the West End school house. The train was run out there and the cowboys Jumped on the fiery steeds. but those broncos. like everybody else in Phoe- nix, were on their good behavior. They moved about slow and stately as if they feared they might hurt their riders and give the customers a bad impression of the territory just when statehood Is wanted. The bronco bust ing was failure. but the banquet was far from one. The Phoenix Shriners said they never had SO good a time and the pilgrims said it was the hottest one ever had by them The train
