He told them of the incessant | and earnest work which had been dome | y the local Knights to make the great conclave a success and sald he hoped that each and every visiting Knight would make himself at home and enjoy the good things of California most thoroughly. Chairman Graves first introduced E. Myron Wolf, who wclcomed the visitors in behalf of the State. He described in | glowing terms the bounteous resources of | this Western commonwealth and COngr: ated the Knights on having selected this city as the place for holding their conclave.

After Mr. Wolf had concluded his re- marks Mr. Graves presented Mayor Schmitz, who delivered a very interest- ing. address. He pointed with pride to the progress which is being made by this city and State, and said that he had the nd h greatest faith in their future. He called {attention -to--the- elaborate preparations which had been made by the counties of California in preparing exhibits of their resburces so that the Knights might form scme appreciation of the wonderful mate- wealth - of ‘this~ fertile land. The Mayor touched upon the history of the Pythian order and complimented the Knights for the progress they had made and for the very enviable reputation they ad attained. The Mayor’s remarks were listened to with attention by the visitors, and his sentiments of good fellowship were received with applause. In conclu- sion the Mayor wished the Knights a most _pleasant and prosperous sojourn in this State, famous for its wonderful re- sources. He said that Californian hearts and Californian homes were open to them and their welcome would be as hearty as Western hospitality can make it. Following the Mayor came Ogden H. Fethers, the supreme chancellor and com- mander of the Pythian host. In the name of the Knights of the Uniform Rank he thanked the people of San Francisco and the State for their cordial reception and hospitable entertainment. He said that throughout the country this State is noted for its hospitality. He declared that the Knights had come West expect- ing to be surprised by the reception which would be accorded them, but he 2id the welcome had exceeded their wild. est thoughts. CHANCELLOR IN COMMAND. The supreme chancellor then formally took command of the Pythian forces in this city and placed Major General James R. Carnahan in direct command of the camp. In assuming his position Major General Carnahan delivered an address so eloquent that those who had the pleasure of hearing it will not sgon forget. it. Owe ing to the immense i} of the Pavilion all of the people could not distinctly hear the speakers. Carnahan touched upon the history of the Pythian order. He told how it was formed durin the mo- mentous times of the great Civil War, and how from a very humble beginning it had grown until it now had lodges ig every State in the Union. 5 In éssumI‘ngC(‘ommhnnd of or General Carnahan unfurled the - tional flag.

Smith, 908 Market st. * o Vanity Fair Opens With Attractions of GUreat Interest HE Knights of Pythias Vanity Fair, a “midway” in every sense of the word, opened with a brilliant ‘programme last night. The fair is under the direct management of the Western Street Falr, which has supplied amusement in the form of high-class vaudeville at every street fair in the State during the last year. The varlety shows formed one of the main features at the Elks’ carnival in Oakland and at the Sacramento, Reno and many other street fairs. Vanity Fair occupies the lot at Market and.-Larkin streets just across from the Mechanics' Pavilion, and has entrances from both Market and Larkin streets. For a moderate price of admission™one can witness outdoor vaudeville of a high order. Last night a large crowd saw far above the fair grounds a bicyclist tightrope rider, bedecked with electric bulbs, his wheel emitting colored lights, ride back and forth with a seeming disregard of danger. ‘‘Wild West Bill” and his wife gave a marvelous exhibition of pistol and rifle shooting, which brought forth applause from the spectators. Acrobatic stunts by well-known local artists wound up the evening’s programme. @ bbbtk @ EXHIBITION TURNED OVER TO PUBLIC Continued From Page One. Supreme Chancellor Ogden H. Fethers was next introduced. He was recefved with applause. He sald in part: I am not & complete stranger to California. I have pald you severa] visits and hope to do 80 again. No one can tell what time in its changes may bring about. . In the course of such changes I may yet cast my lot with you and become a resident of your State myself. (Applause.) I have little to say about the great order to which I have the Lonor of belonging. At our biennial gatherings we have opportunities of tasting of the hospitalities of the people of our country. In California we have met with a glorious reception. Around us here we have evidences of your great wealth as a people. With your hundreds of miles of coast line, with your magnificent resources, your fertile counties, many of which are larger than some of our States In the East, your great universi- tles, your enterprise and your wonderful op- portunities, you are destined to become within the next few years the greatest State in the Union. (Applause.) It is unnecessary for me to occupy more of your time on this occasion. I thank you sin- cerely in behalf of the organization 1 represent for this kindly reception to the Knights of Pythias of the whole United States. When we leave the confines of your State we shall be happy to tell how royally you have welcomed and entertained us. I thank you, ladles and gentlemen, for this hearty welcome. (Ap- Pplause.) ADDRESS BY MAYOR. Mayor Schmitz delivered the welcome iz behalf of the people of San Francisco, He made a brief but pointed address, as follows; Ladies and gentlemen, visitors and friends: It is with a sense of pleasure and pride that I stard before you to extend a welcome on be- haif of the people of the city of San Francisco to_the visiting Knights and their families. It is a pleasure, because I recognize that the organization of the Knights of Pythias is one batded together for the advancement and bene- fit of their fellow men. It is a pleasure, because I have the honor to welcome one of the greatest fraternal organi- zations to the city of San Francisco, and I — Officers of the California Brigade Give Cordial Reception to Members of Supreme Lodge and to General Jamies R. Carnahan NIGHTHOOD was in flower at the reception which was tendered to Major General James R. Carnahan and staff and the Supreme Lodge last night at Me- chanics' Pavilion. The re- ception was one that will not soon be for- gotten, either by those in whose honor it was gotten up or by the members of the California Brigade, who tendered it to them. Major General Carnahan and his staff, together with the officers of the Supreme Lodge, occupied the platform at the west end of the Pavilion. They were in full military dress and their uniforms, which were adorned -with an abundance of gold trappings, made a scene, The interior of the immense hall had been appropriately decorated with Ameri- can flags, bunting and electric lights. Around the ralls of the gallery were draped long streamers of red, white and blue bunting, while huge American flags fluttered from every point of vantage. The entrance to the hall was brilliantly | illuminated with electric ligh The Knights in the natty military uniforms imparted to the assemblage a martial flavor. witnessed during the recent Shriner cele- bration in this city. After the band had rendered a couple of selections, a company of Knights from Victor, a progressive mining town of Col- orado, under the command of Captain H. A. Naylor, marched out on the floor and gave an exhibition drill. They were fre- quently applauded for the remarkable precision with which they executed diffi- feel sure that its visit to our city will be to them more than a pleasant one, and that we will derive great benefit from it. It is with pride that I welcome you, because 1 am proud to represent such a magnificent city as we San Franciscans believe our city to be, and I feel ple of San Francisco can weicome the stranger in true Western fashion and will extend to you that hospitality for which San Franciscans have been noted all over the world. Here among our magnificent products of Cali- fornia 1 bid vou welcome and formally present you the keys of our beautiful city, want you to make use of while you are here, feeling not llke a stranger but as if you were part of us. We hope to make your stay so pleasant that when it comes time for you to turn your faces homeward it will be with the greatest of re luctance, &nd you will feel when leaving us that you are leaving friends with whom you are dearly connected by bonds of friendship and of love. Again I say welcome, welcome, thrice wel- come. Major General James R. Carnahan, commander of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, who was to respond in behalf of his organization, was receiv- ed with applause. He said he was in no sense an orator, like Chancellor Fethers, and it was not expected that a soldier's horse should surpass that of his chief. He said Chancellor Fethers had spoken and that should be sfficient. General Car- nahan then proceeded: GOOD WILL EVERYWHERE. 1 speak truly when I say that we are glad to be With you. When I look about me T am persuaded that there is more In all this than the grandeur of your mountains, the magnifi- cence of your matchless resources, the wonders | of your lauded climate, and that is the hearti. ness of your greetings, the fervor of your handshakes and the evidences of your good will which we see on_every side.

Knighthood, he declared, was not only in flower in this_country, but also in Europe, where the Pythian order had extended its benign influence. Major General Carnahan made a brief but appropriate response. He thanked the people of the city in behalf of the Uniform Rank for the hospitality which had been extended them, He said he considered that the reception was not in- tended for him personally, nor for a few officers, but in recognition of the posi- lli"ns which they filled in the knightly or- der. At the conclusion of the major gen- eral's remarks and at his suggestion dancing was inaugurated and the Knights with their ladies enjoyed themselves un. til a late houry they assisted In the preservation of our coun- try by the shedding of their heart's blood (Applause.)

He delivered a brillfant ad- dress and in opening traced the growth of the nation and reviewed the causes which have made the United States the greatest nation of the earth, Referring to California he sald: To enumerate all the wonderful productions, the progress of the past hundred year: ‘would be to present a picture that, were it a shadow of the future, would look incredible, But as impossible as it might appear, the story of your own Golden State is a still more marvel- ous one.

Grand Lodge Will Be For- mally Opened To-Day at the Tabernacle. SALT LAKE, Aug. 11.—The rain which fell at intervals throughout the day and threatened the gorgeous decorations in honor of the annual convention of the B. P. O. E. which opens in this city to- morrow, ceased late this afternoon and the weather man promises a continuance of the beautiful clear, cool weather that prevails to-night. o The streets in the business section of the city are ablaze to-night with the most beautiful display of electric decorations ever seen in the Rocky Mountain reglon. Thousands of incandescent lamps in white and purple are draped across and along- side the streets, hanging in festoons and gathered in immense set pieces at the various corners. A prominent feature of the decorations are hundreds of mcunted elk heads which appear on all sides. Twenty-three special trains arrtved imy the city to-day, filled with delegations, and twelve more are expected to arrivs by morning. It is estimated that 900 members of the fraternity are now in the city; 3000 more are expected by noon to- morrow and 20,000 visitors have been at- tracted by the convention. All day long and late into the night the various arriving delegations marched from the depots, headed by bands of mu- sic and mingled with the thousands of visitors already congesting the downtown streets. There was no set programme for to- day.and the time was taken up by the visiting Elks with trips to Saltalr and other resorts and visits to the Mormon Tabernacle. Among the first arrivals to-day was | the Denver, Colo., special of ten cars over the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line. The Short Line also brought in the big California special accompanied by the | Third Artillery Band, while the Rio Grande Western brought in special trains during the afternoon and evening at in- tervals of fifteen or twenty minutes, bear- ing delegations from Omaha, Sioux Falls, Kansas City, Baltimore and other East- ern points.

California i3 a great State. I. Is great in every particular. In point of area and size it is the second State in the Union: it has the biggest, tallest trees on the globe; the deepest, darkest and most mysterious mountain gorges; the grandest canyons, the richest miines and the larvest and most beautiful shells on the earth or in the sea. This supremacy of nature has had a manifest eftect upon the people, for it is the \biggest-hearted, friendliest and most accommeflating nle in the whole world, {and this is what makes California shine out in the fraternal constellation as the brightest of the Pythian planets. NO BACKWARD STEPS. This country of ours has ever moved forward and upward. No step has been a backward ome.

Governor Jennings sketched the history of Pythianism and closed as follows: In the Pythian ranks march many of the noblest men our country is proud to claim as citizens, and the hatchments upon its cas- tle walls preserve the memories of many like President McKinley and others too numerous to_mention. Pythis m stands for all that Is best in man. | Friendship is its vital principle. True friend- ship ean ouly live where honor reigns supreme.

Chairman Graves announced that John P. Irish was to have spoken-on the sub- Ject, “Our Golden State,” but that he had | failed to make an appearance. The ex- hibition was then formally declared open- ed to the public and the exercises came to a close with the rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” by the band, during which the audience stood silent, hats in hand. The crowd then distributed itself throughout the nave and inspected the various county exhibits, which, though yet incomplete, did not fail to impress all beholders with the magnificence of the rescurces of California.
