CISCO on account Of the conclave. Aside
from those who were brought by the
Santa Fe system, the Southern Pacific
company had the handling of this vast
multitude. They conveyed from all TIE
railroads of the country on to the
Southern Pacific system, from the
northern lines by wav of Portland and
the Shasta route; from the east by the
Overland route, Ogden and Sacramento,
and from the south and southeast by
the Sunset route, passing through Cali
fornia l.. two great streams, one up the
rich SAM Joaquin valley, and the other
up the coast line that traVerses the
glorious valley or series of valleys
stretching from San Luis Obispo north
to the Golden Ga e. But all these
streams of travel united to terminate
either at the Ferr.' station at the foot
of Market street, or at the Southern
Pacific station at the foot of Third and
Townsend streets. At both termin
there was an almost constant stream of
arrivals. Train after train followed
each other in unbroken succession over
both these Southern Pacific routes, that
from ogden and that from Los Angeles.
The immense traffic was handled with
out confusion or apparent difficulty.
There was not the slightest casualty
and scarcely a train was behind time.
Nothing but praise and encomiumus
have been heard from the visitors or
their travel here, their reception and
the hospitality that has been rendered
them.
SO far as the general public is con-
cerned, next to the illumination, the
parade of Tuesday was probably the
greatest event of the concla"e. 1t was
a magnificent parade in numbers, in
brilliant and striking uniforms, and in
the effectiveness of organized bodies of
men, mounted and afoot, in military or
der. 1t is said there were between TO-
OOO and II 900 Knights Templar in the
long line that took two hours to pass
a given point. The parade was re-
viewed by Gov. Pardee and Major Sch
mitz on Van Ness avenue. 1t is be-
lieved that between a quarter and a
half million people lined the route of
the parade.
Though Honolulu was not represented
in the parade by an organization, there
were quite a number of Island Knights
in the parade. Sir Knight Charles
Haul was splendidly mounted on
the staff of Eminent Sir Charles l..
Field, Grand Captain-General of Cali
fornia and in command Of the parade.
Sir Knight II. H. Williams was also a
mounted aide of the commander detail
ed with one of the later divisions OF
the parade. Sir Knight e. r. Bath
marched with San Jose Commandery,
and Sir knights c. ]. Campbell X. G,
r. Wallace and John Bowler marched
with Chico Commandery Sir knights
G. Waldo Burgess and T. ]. King did
not take part in the parade but wit
messed it from one of the grand stands
The day was a pretty hot one and
yesterday broke the San Francisco re-
cord going up to 1902, something like
or u degrees hotter than it ever gets In
Honolulu.
