Bedoulns Striking
The change in costume and color
from the Arabs to the Bedouin patrol
of Al Malaikah, which followed, was
striking in the extremes In their long
flowing robes, purple pantaloons and
white and gold turbans the Bedouins
added flavor of the orient to the
parade that was not to be found else
where, and their popularity was at
tested at every turn.
Almost the only floral decoration in
the Shriner portion of the parade was
carried by the Bedouins. In advance

Preceded by their famous band tho
Syrian drillers of Cincinnati came next.
Blue turbans and jackets, white trou-
sers and blue effects in hosiery marked
the showy uniforms of the Ohio dele
cation, and their band was attired in
a similar fashion.
Syrian Band Popular
The Syrian band made a hit Hav-
ing a repertoire replete with the most
popular airs of the day the Syrian
noise makers entertained the reviewers
along the entire line of march, and
their music was one of the pleasing
features of the day.
With perfect step and intricate for
nations the Moolah mobiles from st.
Louis came next. The twenty-four
men, under the command of Captain
Sinclair, were attired in uniforms which
combined red and white in their make
up, and when the line of men swung
in and out in their famous drill the
play of color was like that of an cleo
trio fountain.
An array of color announced the
appearance of the members of Saladin
patrol from Grand Rapids, and the |
Michigan contingent in the stands |
broke loose with cheers for their men.
Red, white and green turbans, green
Jackets, red trousers, yellow vests and
sashes and long robes of red and white |
gave to the Saladin marchers a dis
tinction of color not reached by any
of their brother mobiles, and the sym
phony to the eye when they formed |
Greek crosses, figure eights and other
numbers in their march through the |
streets was a most agreeable part of |
the pageant.
Mormons FaVorites
After Saladin's cohorts came Moore's !
F'idelia band, and the contrast between |
their plain uniforms and those of the |
around them was wonderful
to behold. Immediately behind the |
bandmen the uniforms of Ell Kalah |
temple of Salt Lake flashed forth in |
their white and gold beauty, and the
Mormons were early proclaimed favor
ties by the crowd.
Drum Major Burke, about the young
est specimen of his kind, led the Bos-
ton-Montana band and he was GER
tainly a hit. This little Burke boy Is |
only about 10 years old, and he's small |
fo4 his age at that, but the applause |
he received when marching at the head |
of his bandmen in a uniform of white |
and gold more than made up for his
appearance.
The different patrols were not stingy |
with their salutes yesterday. At al
