Benepe had charge of the drill, and tie supervision was in every respect ad- mirable, though under the most trying circumstances, for the morning com- menced with a disappointment, and the afternoon also presented a disappoint- ment.

The first company to come on _the grounds in the morning contest was Kala- mazoo Company No. 9, Captain F. D. Da- kin commanding. The men quickly came to attention and instantly won admiration as they march- ed and saluted the judges. Their military bearing was admirable and they were alert in responding to commands. The Kalamazoo men had no doubt the advantage in step and decision in move- ments and the sword exercise showed them to be handy and quick. The Spec- tators vociferously applauded them.

DISORGANIZES During a march one of the men lost his cap. He stooped to pick it up, but with- out avail and merely disorganized the line. This mishap itself cost the company points and the lieutenant who afterward recovered the headgear and paternally clapped it back on the head of the owner also contributed to the loss of points. As it was, the morning terminated in a walk- over for the Kalamazoo men.

Howeve: they acquitted the\selves gallantly and carried out No. 33 movement, that had been rejected by the former competitors, 1and achieved in that a complete and rousing success. The San Diego boys, too, ghowed up well in the sword exer- clsés‘and received a volley of applause from the civillans and military men on the ground. Whether giving thrust or | front cut, rightward down cut or left downward cut, front point or rear cut, | they showed themselves ready handed. HUSSARS WELL MOUNTED. | _The D. D. Burnes Hussars No. 43, First Missouri, were well mounted and had | their own cloths and saddles. Their drill, while interesting, did not by any means infuse the spectators or military lights with enthusiasm. Captain G. J. Be Gole, commanding, was free to admit that the drill was not quite up to the standard. The men no doubt are good horsemen, | but they were hardly at home in respond- !'ing to the commands. Their movements | were slow and in every movement there was indecision. As a whole, however, the drills were most interesting, the men of the com- panies, in spite of minor drawbacks, pre- senting_a thoroughly soldierly appear- ance. This morning the arill competitions will be continued. The judges will render their decision as to the successful competitors to-night. DRILLS AT THE PAVILION. Mechanics’ Pavilion resounded with the tread of marching Knights of the Uni- form Rank all day vesterday. Four of the companies which are entered in class B for the competitive drill marched, countermarched and executed various miiltary maneuvers. The drilling as well as the personal appearance and the arms of the marchers were given a thorough inspection by three United States army officers from the Presidio. The officers were Major Silas Wolf, Nineteenth United States Infantry; Captain Langdon, Third Infantry; Lieutenant Shifkle of the Ar- tillery Corps. It has always been the custom of the Knights to invite the army officers to do the inspecting. This is done in order to bring the discipline and drilling of the companies up to the standard of the United States army. Unusual interest is taken in the annual encampment driils by the companies of the Uniform Rank. During the whole preceding year the men are drilled and coached. - The members of ss_that was even no- | the four companies that competed yes- terday were scrupulously exact in their dress and also careful to have their sabers burnished to the brightest hue. Three of the four companies wcre per- ceptibly affected with nervousness when they appeared before the officers yester- day. Consequently they did not alto- gether cover themselves with glory. The first company to march out on_the floor was Riverside Company No. 30, under the command of Captain A. A.' Wood, First Lieutenant E. H. Gruwell and Sec- ond Lieutenant J. T. Short. The men were put through all kinds of difficult maneuvers, such as are practiced by the regular army. They were given no inti- mation beforehand as to what would be required of them, but when they marched out on the floor their captain was handed a vrinted list of orders and told to have his company execute them. The inspecting officers took careful note of every move and noted down all the errors that were made. SPECTATORS ARE FEW. Following the Riverside boys came Lib- erty Company No. 11 of Oakland, com- manded by Captain I. L. Cavasso, First Lieutenant A. C. Partello and Second Lieutenant E. C. Hahm. These two com- panies were the only ones inspected in the morning. During the morning there were not many spectators at the drill. The great pmatority ot Knights were cross the bay attending t Soce e & the celebration In the afternoon two more companies were inspected, one from California and the other from the furniture city, Grand Rapids, Mich. The officers of the latter company were Captain A. K. Moore, First Lieutenant W. Mitchell and Second Lieu- tenant W. S. Coye. They made a very favorable impression. The company from this State was’ Oakland No. 57, command- ed by Captain C. L. E. Wood, First Lieu- tenant R. J.

Fireworks were displayed in profusion Jast night in Chinatown. The Chinese are desirous of exhibiting thelir appreciation of the knightly visitors to the city. Bren- nan place and Portsmouth Square were illuminated by pyrotechnical displays that attracted some thousands of sightseers. Blue and red fire blazed and rockets went shooting through the air, drums and cymbals made deafening noéise, mingling with the shrill voices of Chinamen. Such a din as it all made will sing in the ears of the visitors for many a day. Kearny street during the display was impassable. The whole show lasted but a short while, but what there was of it was unique, not from a fireworks stand- point, but ‘on account of the strange elbowing of the mixture of humanity that was seen at the Chinese pyrotechnic re- ception. R A, KENNEDY IS HIGH PRICED. Supreme Recorder Takes $18,000 for Salary and Is Being Tried. The session of the Supreme Tribunal at the Occidental Hotel vesterday was wholly taken up with the trial of Willilam D. Kennedy, who is charged with conspir- acy and fraud in having drawn $18,000 for services which were supposed to have been rendered at a cost of $§1200 while he was supreme recorder of the tribunal. He was removed from office over a year ago and expelled from the order by the Grand Tri- bunal of Illinois, but appealed his case to the higher court. During the interval of his expulsion and this session the Supreme Lodge decided to allow him $12,000 of the total sum he took, which leaves a balance of $6000 still unac- counted for. Besides this amount he obtained $400 upon receipts purporting to have been signed by Miss Mabel Holgate, a stenographer, but which the officers of the law have since discovered were signed by Kennedy’'s daughter, Mabel H. Ken- nedy, who is a dancing teacher in Chicago. The arguments of the attorney of the order, Carlos 8. Hardy, and Benson Lan- don, attornéy for Kennedy, consumed the afternoon, after which the court took the case under advisement until this morning. There is also a clvil suit pending in the courts of Illinois against Kennedy for the amount alleged to have been embezzled. ‘At this session the trial of John A. Hin- sey, the ex-president of the board of con- trol of the Endowment Rank, will be heard. He is accused of having defrauded the order out of more than $500,000. = He was indicted by an Illinois grand jury, but through a technicality escapsd pun- ishment. Firemen to Give Special Drill. There will be a special drill given next Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock at the drill tower In the rear of the engine house on Seventeenth street, between Folsom and Harrison, for the benefit of the visit- ing Knights of Pythias and their friends.

The programme, which was one of the most en- tertaining that has been ren- dered at the pavilion during the present celebration, attracted a splendid crowd. Every available seat was taken, and the visitors thoroughly enjoyed the entertain- ment. The cakewalk contest, which was the feature of the evening, was participated in by twenty couples, every one of whom gave an excellent exhibition. The first prize, however, was won by Ovita Leathe and Thomas Beatty. Their victory was a popular one and the skillful young dancers were given a hearty ovation when they were awarded the prize, which was a handsome silver loving cup. Ovita Leathe is a cake walker of renown. She has won prizes in several parts of the State. The judges decided that she and her partner | French dance. _PRIZES CUPID RULES FLORAL EROTTO Pretty Wedding of Miss Mackenzie and David Young. Belle of San Jose the Bride at Notable Marriage .

Francis Palmer of the First Presbyterian Church performed the ceremcny. The bride was given away by her father.
