10 for the comfort Of the paraders and
lie spectators was done by the local
Committees, In nearly every block
along the line Of march were station.
ed physicians who were also knights
templar, with trained nurses and
equipment for emergency cases. In
addition, emergency hospitals to be
kept open day and night during the
couclave were established at many
points IN the center OF the city and
at the West Side ball park which was
selected as the place for the competi.
tive drills.
Wednesday and Thursday were the
days set apart for the drills for which
handsome trophies are awarded, and

receptions were on the program.
Enhancing Scenes at Night.

was especially beautiful, for all the

Illuminated, and on State street. In nd.

transformed the great shopping dis.
