THE GRAND ENCAMPMENT. The first division was composed of the four commanderies of this city, who acted as an es- cort to the members of the Grand encampment. While it was forming the oilicers and me mbers of the Grand encampment assembled in the parlor of the Ebbitt, The grand officers wore the regulation uni- form with chapeau ard flowing white plume, their only mark of d.-tinction being the Selem cross, the badge of the Grand encampment,which was worn on the side of the chapeau. Shoulder straps of different colors also distinguished the officers, ‘The first division, under the com- mand of Eminent Sir Wm. G. Moore and An- drew W.

Among the other Wasbing- tonians who rode in the carriages were William BR, Singleton, E, L, Stevens and James E.

CAPITOL, How the Great Parade Was Formed and Started ou lis Way. - The Capitol was a nucieus of knights this morniug-a sort of initial letter to the grand parade. ‘Lhe arranged program set forth for |the formtion was carried out in perfect |detall, everythmg moving smoothly, As ‘early as o'clock columns of Templars be- gan moving eastward, aud for two hours there- ter the lines of black and white went wind- ing up the great hil! and deploying off in vari- ps directions when the summit was reached, plaza east of the Cupitol was a maze with risserossed Mines of men, some headed east, some north and south. The seene from steps was a beautiful one, the gay colors of the banuers and the bright uniforms of the bandsmen combiuing to form A CHARMING PICTURE. lumes on the knights’ chapeanx winkled sud waved as their wearers kept step to | the rythmatic strains of the masic which filled the air. coming from every direction. There were comparatively few Baas a gathered on the steps,.nost of them having gone down on the avenue. There was quite a sprinkling of folks, however, just enough to crowd up on the curbs suflicieutly. to give the policemen something to do in keeping the way clear for the knights, were no bitches in the order in which the various commanderies ir way to he | of F street and then | ON PE which they had to march, had a tendency to break their lines, but they went manfully up the slope. their faces growing redder as they neared the summit, until the general com- plexion of the crowd wasa benutiful rose color. The glistening points of the spears carried by Richmond commandery. No. 2, came into sight some time before the heads of the kni appeared. ‘This armament made a fine effect and caused general applause. It frequently happened that the temporary blocking of the street caused a halt on the hiil and the sword points dropped to the ground at once as the already weary knights began their brows,” The famous commandery of Maysville, K went up the hill with their swords across their shoulders in a happy-go-lucky style. There were considerably more than five men in line this time, THE LIVE EAGLE, carried by one of the western commanderies, was a general favorite, and when his bearer halted he ‘was strrounded by a crowd of urchins, all endeavoring to win notice from the king of birds, who only blinked in lazy pence, not being compelled to keep balancing imself with his outstretched wings, His ma- jesty was sullenly silent, ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST DIVISION, Grand Marshal Parker reached the crest of the hill on the south side, at the head of the first division at 11:15 o'clock, and the kine behind him went immediately “5 around the ‘square to Street east to the corner of B street north where a halt was made, By this time the knights were almost all in their proper places, standing at parade rest on the squares to the enst of the Capitol building for a distance of a quarter of a mile. Everything was ready, the the mine dug, the train laid ond the match lit. HOW THE SIGNALS WERE GIVE A line of signal men from the District militia was posted between the grand marshal to the guns on the hill near the Baltimore and Ohio depot that were to give the signals, The flagmen were stationed as follows: One | at ist and B streets northeast. one at B street | and Delaware avenue, one at Delaware avenue | #nd C street and a fourth at C and North Cxpi- tol streets, within a rod of the gaus, Th:se men were Flagmen Campbell, Toepper, Whit- acre und Barston of the signal corps, provided with the regulation signal flags, Lieut. Robbins commanded guns, called. in | art-ler; conten the Napoleons of the light battery, District national guard, Th Sergeants Mount, Lowndes and Upp Murray and Heird; pri- nm, aud drivers Waters and Cauliield, The caissons were stocked with cartridges, every man was in his place, the guns were loaded, and a primer was ready to be plunged into the vent and fired. Lt, Robbins bad his eye ou the fag- man, Who was looking straight up C street to the next bit of red and white buating. THE FLAG WAVED, Suddenly the latter waved down and then up again, the last man of the line repeated the | operation and the word was given to fire the | right gun, which bellowed fourth its signal for the division marshals to report to the grand atl, This was at 11:30.
