Lloyd as Grand Master.
A VERY QUICK ELECTION

Junior Warden, the Other Officers
Being Advanced One Grade-Con-
clave VIII Soon End.
LOUISVILLE, Aug 29-By an election
said to have been unprecedented for
celebrity Frank H Thomas, past grand
commander of the District of Columbia,

campment of the knights Templar to
the office of junior grand warden. This

being elected perfunctorily as forecasted,

uty grand master, to grand master.
George H. Moulton of Chicago, grand
generaissimO to deputy grand master,

nior grand warden to senior grand
warden.
These officers were elected without
material opposition ON the first ballot.
Interest centered in the fight for ju-
nior grand wardensnip, for which there
were Is candidates. The office was
much desired, as it means that eventual
ly the holder of it will become the head

SIR KNIGHTS SIGHTSEEING.

They Visit Many Places of Interest In
Kentucky and Tennessee.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 29.-Today, for the
first time since the conclave of the
grand encampment of knights Templar
began here, the visitors were able to
take full advantage of the pleasure and
sightseeing excursions which have been
on the program every day.
With no all absorbing feature to oc.
cupy their time, the knights and their
ladies went for rides on the Ohio river,
took excursions into the country to see
the home of Kentucky farmers, the bat
tlefields of Tennessee, Mammoth Cave
and Cumberland Gap. These excursions
to Tennessee were made inviting to de-
pleted purses by the low rates offered
by the railways, and many people took
advantage Of them.
The festivities of the COnClave will
reach their climax tonight when the
Knights Templar grand ball is given in
the Horse Show building. A thousand
couples will dance and it is expected
that there will be 10000 spectators pres
ent. Many knights left the city today
and nearly all of the visitors who came
W VIC" U1O SpCCGdC1GS VI JlG COuCIdFG
have departed. The conclave ends to-
morrow.
That the COnclave has already begun
to break up was shown by the departure
of the Pittsburg Communicates early in
the day. They left on a special train
for Buffalo. The exodus, however, will
not begin in earnest till after the grand
ball tonight.
The business meeting of the grand
encampment was called to order at $3.50
a. M, but it was after 10 o'clock before
the last straggler appeared. The re-
ports of committees, which only half
completed their work yesterday, took
up considerable time. The election of
officers was scheduled to begin immedi-
etely after these reports were heard
Before the session began it was still
taken for granted that the offices will
be filed by promotion from the next
lower grades. This would make Henry
Bates Stoddard of Texas grand master.
The old question Of changing the con
stitution to make Washington, D. O.. ,
the conclave city, unless otherwise pro-
vided for, was discussed in the corri-
doris before Grand Master Lloyd called
the sir knights to order.
