to the Church been made than in any previous
year, but there have been urgent calls from every

Detroit, Mich, June 13.-Through
the principal streets of Detroit, about
noon Tuesday, marched 1000 gaily
plumed and uniformed Knights
Templar. The sight was magnificent,
and the thoroughfares were well lined
with the city's citizens and visitors, to
witness the grand parade.
Standing in the reviewing stand at
Woodward and Grand Circus park, Sir
Knight Moulton and Sir Knight Frank
c. Holmes reviewed the twenty-five
communicates in line, each headed by
a band. From the park clear to Jeffer-
son avenue 1t was a sea Of flags and
marching men, Of which there seemed
to be no end.
With perfect step and alignment the
knights passed the reviewing stand.
The weather and day seemed just
made for the occasion.
After the Communicates had passed
the stand, they formed In a mass for
nation, each row abreast, so that 1t
stretched the full width of Woodward
avenue. The bands we're massed, as
we're also the standard bearers. The
mass formation then remarched from
the park to Michigan avenue, where
