EXTENDING GLAD HAND.
Washington Lodge Of Elks Welcoming
Fraternal Visitors.

The Washington Lodge of Elks is today
welcoming many of the members or the
order who are retul ming from the big day
at Baltimore, and expects to continue its
work as host until the end of the week.
The members of the lodge who participated
in the great parade at Baltimore yester-
day returned on different trains, a large
number not getting home till morning..
But much the larger portion of the dele
cation and visitors came back to Washing
ton on the Baltimore and Ohio special at
IL o'clock last evening.
All the returning members are warm in
praise of the fine showing made by the
United States Marine Band and Washing
ton Lodge, No. 10. They were accorded a
conspicuous place in the forefront of the
parade, and carried off the honors of the
day. There is small doubt that they would
have proven to be prize winners had Wash
lngton, by reason of propinqufty to Balu-
more, not been barred from competition.
The Baltimore American of this morning
Band and Washington Lodge they APP
peared at Baltimore and Eutaw streets
yesterday. The American says: "a feature
of the parade was the excellent showing
made by the United States Marine Band of
seventy pieces, under Director w. H. San
lehman. The band took position in front
of No. I engine house. on Eutaw street,
and fell in behind the New York delegation.

Washington delegation, $50 strong, was
close behind the Marine Band, and they
were attired in blue serge coats and trous-
erS, white shirts, Panama hats with pur-
pie bands and neckties. Each member car
ried a cane surmounted by an American
flag. Following close upon the Washing
tonians came the Philadelphia Lodge, No

IN blue and white Panama hats. They
were preceded by the Allentown (Pa.) band
of fifty-four pieces. The Marine Band was
