CONCLAVE ENDED,
SHR|NERS DEPART
Huge Pageant Attended by
100000 eliminates Con-
vention in Capital.

Having said farewell to Washington
in a blaze of glory last night. the
weary but happy thousands of Shrine
pilgrims today were evaCuatins rapidly
The oasis of their cclorful sixty-flrst
conclave, described by officials as the
greatest in Shrine annals.
The Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine
gave the Capital hna: salaam with
glittering nocturnal program Of pag
eantry, street revelr7 and an after
midnight pyrotechnic display prob
ably eclipsing ANYTHING of its kind
ever held here.
The grandeur of last nights show
thrilled more than 100 900 men wom-

sides of Pennsylvania avenue inr the

a Mardi GraS-lke dance of ali ma
tons and the startling fireworks on
The nearby Monumen: grounds.
Staged Under FestoOns Of Lights.
The four -and-a-half hour pageant
and preliminary parade of uniformed
Shriners were staged beneath tastoons
of vari-colored lights stretched like
ropes of iridescent pearls across the
Avenue and Under perfect maon-lit
skies that contrasted sharply With the
storm clouds of the night before.
The 10-part pageant itself-main
feature of the final snow-drew upon
the romance and cosor of all history
for its material. The scenes shifted
from the sands of the Sahara &C the
snowdrifts Of Volley Forge, from the
arenas of Rome 10 the battlefield of
Monmouth. from dragon infested
China to the ice-hoes of Little Amer
ica. from Robin Hood and Maid
Marian in the green forest to a stage
coach robbery in the days Of the
Wild West.

of pageantry, the brain child of three
