Parade and Feast.

Many of the visiting Shriners who
last night made up one Of the most
Kaleidoscope ~pageants that ever was

departed for their homes. The cere-
monial session in the Kruger Audito-
rum which followed the parade and
was part of the testimonial rendered In
honor of w Freeland Kendrlck, of Lu
Lu Temple, Philadelphia, didn't come to
a close until early today owing to the
length of the program and the number
of candidates initiated.

rade, which was witnessed by thou
sands on the street. Along the short
line of march from the Market street
depot to Kruger Auditorium red-lre
was burned n fireworks set off, add
ing to the enlivenment of the spectacle.
There was dignity and fun in the pa
Iade. When the splendidly drilled or
g%anization passed in review the throngs
that filled the sidewalks a%pplauded. And
when the g~rotesque features passed in
review there were roars of laughter.

tomobile with Judge Simon Hahn and
Wilson J. Vance, reviewed the parade as

of Philadelphia, more than 900 strong,
was in the lead. They wore the white
uniforms originally used at the i'm.

stuffed camel was borne aloft, while a
specially-costumed band of Oriental
dancers brought up the rear. Led by
a g%rotesque band 500 members of Cres-
cent Temple. of Trenton. passed in
review.
A bear and a Chinaman in the ranks
of Kisnet Temple, of Brooklyn, which
had 1000 members, provoked a big
laugh. Then came camels. goats and
| other animals.

silver Service for Guest.
At Kruger Auditorium thousands Of
people formed a solid bank, and the
red fez caps passed through the black
mass like the children of Israel through
the Red Sea, although conditions were
reversed. At the door all mummery
ceased and a dignified period set in.
Mr.. Kendrick was greeted as a visitor
to the city, a worthy son of the East.
He spoke, others spoke to him, and
about him, Inc many compliments
were passed on both sides.
They were not merely empty compli-
ments, however, as Salaam Temple
showed in many ways. The most tang
ible of these was the presentation Of
a solid silver service. which was pre-
scented in the name of the templa by
Past Illustrious Potentae Alfred N.
Dalrymple. To each of the visiting IL
lustrious ~potentates of temples was
presented a fez cap beautifully jeweled

the presentations and the general re-
ception of the visitors a banquet was
served, after which the candidates were
