The bugler blasted “assembly” at 3:30 this afternoon, and the scores of the bri- gades, regiments and divisions began to marshal for the review and inspection which takes place on the ellipse of the White Lot at 4 p.m. The Pythian army will turn out as strong, perhaps stronger, than it did on Parade yesterday, and its appearance will be equally impressive. The event will be accompanied with due military pomp ard circumstance, and will attract thousands of spectators. Preparations for the event were begun early in the afternoon, and throughout the day. it was one of the lead- ing conversational themes in Camp George Washington. Music in Camp. An interesting. feature of the music in camp is the wide recognition extended to ‘Washington composers by the many excel- Jent bands congregated there. The unusual number and high order of merit of the mili- tary bands present has been the subject of Knows His Business. much favorable comment, and has con- tributed greatly toward enlivening life in the tented city. The martial strains of each arriving band is the signal for a gen- eral turn out of the uniformed -hosts, who hasten to welcome the new arrivals with true knightly courtesy. The familiar strains of John Sousa’s welcome melodies are every- where. heard. and as frequently are the lis- teners entertained by the “Pythian En- campment March,” written expressly for this gathering of military bands by D. B. MacLeod of the reception committee. This comresition has “caught on” with the local and visiting bands, and is everywhere heard. Profes:o> Fanciulll, the leader of the Marine Band, is also recognized by the rendition of many of his contributions to military mu- sic, and Mr. Bvglione of the Artillery Band, quartered here, has also produced a march for this occasion, which has been well re- ceived, that Washington music may well be said to be in the forefront during the Pythian encampment. The men composing the various bands are, as a rule, jolly good fellows, out for a good time, and when off duty with their commands, ready for any fun that offers; and many of the innocent pranks and practical jokes perpetrated in camp can te charged to their account. It is unfortunate that the proposed grand com- bined concert. with competitive features, ‘was not arranged for In time, as it would undoubtedly have proved a strong attrac- tion, and served to interest and entertain the multitudes who are now visiting the capital eity. The Field Hospital. In anticipation of possible illness among the knights from their state the boys from Indiana have established a model field hos- pital, and Col. John M. Wampler, together with a staff of half a dozen excellent sur- gecns, has charge of it. Speaking of the eases that had been under their care Col. Wampler said: “We have hai about half a nundred m -n under treatment since hang- ing out our sign, but most of them have complained of minor troubles, such as camp diarrhoea, indigestion and the like, and most of them have recovered. Our brigade, the one from Indiana, is the only one with Out for a Bath. a hospital tent, and as a result we have had to do all the work in our line for the whole camp. Col. Wampler is assistant surgeon general of the Indiana brigade, and thoroughly competent to take care of any of his com- rades who may have the misfortune to get under the weather. In this he is assisted by an able force of hospital stewards. One of the knights punctured his ear with his sword while putting that weapon at the “earry arms.” The case proved of no con- sequerce, but no doubt the gallant fellow ____ SPECIAL NOTICES. _ Had Your Vacation Yet?

THARP, $12 F st. ow. has learned a lesson in the manuul of arms. Maj. Erb of the medical department of the Indiana brigade reported sick this morn- ing, but was soon relieved. The Cot Department. There is about as much hurry and bustle round about the “cot department ” as there could consistently be. They furnish every- thing, frum a complete suite of furniture down to a blanket, and the clerks in charge are kept on the run dispensing the jui- sites for a good night’s rest. ne About 4,000 cots have been put out, as many as 200 being taken by the delegation from West Virginia. Massachusetts took fifty-seven; Michigan, thirty, and other commands various numbers. Mr. J. W. Cronie has charge of the issue of beds and bedding, and everybody seems well pleased with his conduct of this most patronized department. There have been no grumblers over the delivery of the cots, and the 4,000 that have been sent out have not, as yet, collapsed, though some of them hold pretty big men. Answered by the Wholesale. The committee on information today made @ tent-to-tent inspection, and have secured @ complete roster of every division now in camp. To secure this data required con- siderable time and labor, The names of each command are entered in a large in- dexed. ledger, being classified by states. ‘The camp is divided into streets, the letters of the alphabet being used to classify them. As one enters the camp the first tent is that cecupied by the committee on information. There one finds severai affable gentlemen ready to rt any information they pos- seas. to le the visitor to locate friends who may be among the campers. The questions these gentlemen are called upon to answer are as varied as the per- sonalities of the questioners. Yesterday a sir knight, with a woe-begone look upon his face, timidly entered the tent, and pre- senting a baggage check, requested that his, trunk, containing his uniform, be looked up and sent to his brigade headquarters. It was not, of course, within the power of the committee to lcok up lost baggage, and he was referred to the baggage master at the depot of the road which brought him in- to the city. The most numerous inquiries at the in- formation booth are in regard to the where- abouts of brigade headquarters, divisions MAJOK band. Mr. Brannon’s chief characteristic is his luxuriant hair. Buffalo Bill is not in it with the hirsute appendage that Capt. Brannon affects. He wears his hair in a great loose fluffy mass that hangs down over his shoulders, almost reaching to his belt. As he marched up the avenue yester- day in the parade his unique appearance Sport in the Water. attracted general attention. Mr. Brannon is, in addition to being a musician of con- siderable note, given to writing poetry and is an artist of ability. One of Mr. Brannon’s pictures graces a nook in the White House. It is a panel, painted upon a plain bit of pine board, and represents a large tarpon, strung through the gills with « stout cord, and apparently hung to a nail. The picture ts said to be realistical- ly startling in its effect, and Mr. Brannon Dossesses an autograph letter from the President acknowledging the present and@ complimenting the artist on his skill. 4 A Complete Hospital. The Indiana brigade is the only organiga- tion in camp that has a complete hospital in charge of a corps of physicians. ‘The health of the hoosiers, as well as the wel- fare of sir knights’ generally, is being looked to by Col. J. M. Wampler, assisted by Capt. Fitch of the first Indiana regi- ment; Capt. Deven of the third, Major Swartzel of the sixth and Capt. Lipes of the ninth. The hospital tent of the Indiana brigade is thoroughly equipped with every appliance known ta:medical science which could be successfully brought into play in emergency cetes, Fortunately, however, and individuals. ‘These the committee are now able to answer promptly and without much trouble. They simply turn to the index, and the desired information is promptly supplied. The ’Gator State Boys. The Florida Knights of Pythias are at- | tracting a good deal of attention tin camp. They have established in their large head- quarters tent a practical Florida exhibit that is being visited by nearly all the knights on the grounds. Huge banana trees scattered about the tent at the front and at the sides give the place a tropical air, while from within a tent comes a fruity edor that is very attractive end draws the steps of many of the visitors in that direc- tion. The delightful odor is from a great mass of ora.ges, guavas, bananas, pine- apples and other characteristic fruits. A huge stuffed alligator ornaments the front of Col. Meyerson’s tent, while a number of other characteristic Florida products are exhibited in a manner to attract attention. Members of the Ivanhoe Division wear with their fatigue uniforms white duck caps ornamented with small stuffed alli- gators. In-fact, the 'gator has become the distinguishing mark of the Florida knights, and they are referred to almost entirely as the ‘gator state boys. Some Camp Notes. Camp George Washington has a rival of Steve Brodie in its population. The name of the bridge jumper is Prof. Belmont, and he holds, forth with the Pennsylvania knights. He makes a proud display of the medals which he has won by his nerve in jumping from the Brooklyn bridge, a dis- tance of 182 feet. “= No drunkenress fs observable in camp. Clam Man! All along the boulevards are great yellow water tanks, furnished by the Independent Ice Company, and these are constantly sur- rounded by dusty and sweating men, wi men and children. Some of the commis- sary tents contain liquors, but when a comrade takes too much he is stowed away by his friends so that no horrible examples are presented to the populace. The Michigan people were the howling swells of the camp. They kept open house yesterday and dealt out claret punch and other provisions with a heavy hand to all who invaded their precinct. The tent has been richly decorated, and the commi; sary tent especially is an attractive pla Here's de there has as yet been little for the physt- cians to do, as the camp is in a remarkably healthful condition. There have been but thirty sir knights who have required med- ical attention during the three days they have been encamped, and these were for A Knight of the Bath. trivial ailments. The Indiana physicians were prepared yesterday to attend any knight who might be overcome by heat or through other cause require medical at- tention, but the marching host completed its program without a single man érop- ping out of line. PYTHIAN BALL AND CONCERT. It Will Take Place at Convention Hall Tomorrow Night. Convention Hall will,no doubt,be thronged tomorrow evening upon the occasion of the grand concert and ball to be given under the auspices of the executive committee, Knights of Pythias encampment. The en- tire United States Marine Band will be in attendance, with Sig. ‘A. Liberati as soloist for the concert, and the dance music will be rendered by an orchestra of forty picked men from that great organization, under the direction of Prof. Fanclulll, ‘This is the last of the series of entertainments pre- | pared by the executiv? committee for their for the tired and thirsty wayfarer. Qua: termaster General Jennings presided over the punch bowl, and a committee of Michi- gan ladies aided in the festivities. A Picturesque Character. The most picturesque character about the camp is Lew Brannon of Jacksonville, who plays second cornet in the Jacksonville An Uncertain Craft. visiting friends at Convention.

It is only ow- ing to the generovs proportions of Conven- tion Hall, having, as it does, a greater floor space than Madison Square Garden, New York, that it is possible to carry out the program arranged by the committee. The Trip Down the River. A complimentary excursion was tendered the visiting Knights of Pythias last evening aboard the steamer Samuel J. Pentz, Capt. Posey, by the cttizens’ encampment com- mittee. The lateness of the hour at which the procession ended prevented many from going down the Potomac, who, A Wet Knight. entertainment welcomed the in the name of the committee and the city. The trip was made without incidents other than pleasant ones, and at River View a Was served which was gracefully ‘presided over by Chairman Greenlees. Baby McKee’s Papa. Gen. McKee of Indianapolis, one of the handsome aids on the staff of Gen. Car- nahan, while standing this morning in the midst of a great group of brother officers had an experience which caused consider- able amusement to those who witnessed the incident. A bery of young matrons halling from New York state came along and happening to overhear an officer ad- dress Gen. McKee, they asked Gen. Cain of Texas !f Gen. McKee was the father of Baby McKee. Gen. Cain stretched the truth a trifle and informed the ladies that McKee had the honor to be the papa of the famous White House baby. “Oh,” they exclaimed in a chorus, “in- troduce us, We must meet and shake hands with Baby McKee's papa.” Gen. Cain gratified their wishes, and Gen. McKee’s hand was rapturously wrung by five blushing matrons, and in exchange for their cards he gave to each a bud from a targe bouquet of flowers which lay on the Not From Washington. table. And the ladies left smiling and happy. Serenaded the Committee. There was music in the air in the vicin- ity of committee headquarters tent this morning, when the first regiment band of Wilmington, Del., serenaded its occupants. The music readered was pronounced first class, and Maj. Biscoe of the committee made a few characteristic remarks, thank- ing Leader John Wallsmith and his twenty German-American musicians for the treat. An Officer Sick. There was another case of camp diarrhoea this morning in the person of Maj. E. Eugene Haskins of P. C. Cadillac Lodge, No. 46, and Cadillac City Division, No. 22, from Cadillac, Mich. Maj. Haskins was first treated at the field hospital, but it was feared his case might result seriously, and Col. Wampler sent him to the Emer- gency Hospital, where he is now resting quietly. The physician in charge there says the patient will soon be out again. Selling Without a Permit. Just about noon a tall, lanky country- man of unguessable age happened around committee headquarters with the words “chewin’ gum” issuing from his rurel mouth. “Have you a permit to sell gum?” inquired Maj. Biscoe. “Naw, sur, I ain't got no pummit.” “Well, young man, you had better look out or some of these special police may get hold of you, and—” But the vender of gum was gone. A SPLENDID PAGEANT. chewing m Parade Pronounced a Great Success. ‘The Pythian parade was one of the finest pageants ever scen on Pennsylvania avenue, and its light will shine for years in the memory of Washington. The countermarch on Pennsylvania avenue was a departure from the routine of parades, and in recogni- tion of its merit and its beauty the populace cheered approval. The avenue was full, both sides and the two ends, of glittering, disciplined soldiery. It was a moving, marching, ever-changing phalanx, the equal of which occurs but once in a generation. It was not the superior in point of size of some military displays which at other times have trod the streets of our fair city, but in point of martial spectacularism, exceilence of drill and order, tts superior is not set down in the diary of the city. Ten Thousand Men in Line. Contrary to purades in general, this one started on time, passed over the given route with but few halts and without any bed breaks. The manner of the carrying out of the program evidenced the ability of the of- ficers and the discipline of the men. The. Procession occupied one hour and forty minutes in passing a given point, and a close estimate by the commander-in-chief The Pyt ret EEt CC 4 2 8 4 ‘ 7 J 5 12 8 4 ‘ REE eects ETE ited 10,000. was inspiration, effect- to Penn- junction, for Sey the jam was well nigh impenetrable.

There was only one other street in the country where this coun- termarch, he said, could have been accom- a: and this was Washington street in indianapolis, where very probably the next review will be held. He had pleasing things to say about the appearance of the militia companies which turned out, and he almost unhent his dig- nity and waved his hat tu the air when the reporter asked him how he liked the Cecorations.

Austin was in charge of the police arrangements during the parade, aud the large crowd was handled without any trou- ble.

When the rear end of the line had passed, spectators were allowed to oc- cupx the south side of the avenue, and this made It possible for pedestrin « on the south side to move away.
