and the parade was much over mile
In length.
Shortly after Z o'clock in the even-
ing the escort of horsemen, so strong
and with horses hooded and robei,
emerged from the fair pavilion. The
procession was led by r. w. Fletcher
as herald and the horsemen follow>
ing rode two abreast. With the riders
clad in regalia and wearing helmets
and holding penants aloft the troop
made splendid appearance and elicit
ed much applause. So did Roland
Oliver who drove a chariot with four
prancing steeds attached.
Immediately behind the horsemen
came the floats and they too were
gorgeous in royal finery. Upon one
float rode the Officers of Damon lodge
No. 4, with Chancellor Commander A.
Z. Lambert in the seat of honorl an
other float bore the senate; another
bearing three young ladies represent
ed Friendship, Charity and Benevo-
lence. The ladies were Miss Gertrude
Huffman, Miss Ethel Kennedy and
Miss Minnie Juergen and their ap-
pearance in the parade was such as to
make the float one of the incest fea-
lures. Another float represented the
headsmen and the read float was oc-
cupied by the Portland Dokie team
under the royal wiser, L. f. Couch.
The "Dokies" were garbed in gorge
Gus oriental costumes and constituted
a decidedly interesting feature of the
parade.
Following the 'Dokle" car came the
band of "Tyros' on foot These wor-
thies were attired in Garments of the
night" and they aroused much inter-
est along the line of march.
Behind the Tyros came the grand
lodge representatives and local knights
on foot. Following them came the
autos bearing the grand lodge Off
GERS and the members of the Pythian
sisters. The following had autos in
the parade and by doing so contrib
uted much to the success of the af-
fair: w, j. Stockman, DR.. c. ], Smith,

During the parade Main and Court
streets were lined with people ana
those on the side lines showed their
appreciation by applauding the various
features Owing to the great length
of the procession it was necessary to
make the line of march longer than
was originally intended. Practically
the entire center portion of the city
was covered by the marchers.
The "DolSie" Session.
At the conclusion Of the parade the
ceremonial session of the "Dokies'
was held in the Eagles Woodman hall.
A class of 100 was taken through the
mysteries of this branch of the order
and the work was hugely enjoyed by
those present. 1t was after midnight
when the session was completed and a
lunch was served in the banquet room.
TOday's Session.
Probably the most important piece
of business transacted this morning
was the adoption of a resolution en-
bodyng the recommendation Of the
retiring grand chancellor made in his
report yesterday afternoon. This
makes 1t incumbent upon the grand
lodges in the state each year and the
grand chancellor the other half AS
the vice chancellor Is elevated to the
chancellor's chair each year, the
resolution will have the effect of re-
quiring each man to visit all the
lodges in the state while passing
through the two chairs. Heretofore
the grand chancellor has tried to
visit all the lodges, and Moser sue
ceeded in getting to all but six. He
will visit those this fall In company
with the new officer.
Prizes were awarded this morning
for last nights parade. The beauti-
full cup was presented to Stevens
lodge Of Weston for having the larg-
est percentage Of members in the
parade. while the Athena lodge was
second. The prizes were given by
the Pendleton lodge, which therefore
could not compete.
