PRICE FIV ' |Grand Master Is | Here and All Are Ready. of Knights Escorted by a Cavalcade. | Chief Grand ‘Master of the Knights Tem. plar Henry Bates Stoddard of Bryan, | Tex., tired from his long journey and | worn by a great sorrow — the recent loss of his beloved wife—arrived in this | | city yesterday morning. Warm and I sympathetic greetings of comrades | | served to lift him in,a measure from | | the silence of depression and encour- aged him to face the work that les | | before. | A foretaste of the day of the big ; Knights Templar parade was given the | | citizens of San Francisco when the | | California Commandery No. 1, mounted on black chargers and arrayed in full insignia and regimentals of the order, met the grand master and escorted him from the ferry to the Palace Hotel. | The route cf the cavalcade was a round- about one, the column passing the Ma- sonic Temple at Post and Montgomery streets, proceeding to Stockton street, | thence to Market and to the Palace Hotel. Early yesterday morning a special re- ception committee, composed of Sir Knights from the Golden Gate, Cali- fornia and Grand comimanderies, head- ed by Grand Commander W. Frank Pierce, Past Grand Commander Frank W. Sumner, Eminent Commander | | Charles M. Plum and Eminent Com- | | mander P. D. Code, left the city on the 8 o'clock boat for Ozkland. Promptly on time the train arrived Gearing the grand master and his party, together with the Texas commanderies, that made the journey with him. The escort formed about them and the party | started for the city. Upon the arrival at the ferry build- ing the grand master was preceded by the California Commandery band and accompanied by the escort. He en- tered one of the wajting carriages. The carriage of the grand master was drawn by four white horses, the car- riages of the escort following that of the grand master. The mounted* Knights of California Commandery, who had been waiting patiently, under Captain R. P. Hurl- but, passed in review before their dis- | tinguished leader. Héaded by buglers from the Presidio, mounted on black horses that were decked with the black and white Templar trappings, the F | 4 sireet. By this time the crowd at the ferry plaza and along Market street | had become quite dense, but the police | handled it efficiently. As the column { turned from Stockton street into Mar- ket the sunlight on the magnificent horses, white and black trappings and | nod@ing white plumes made an impos- | ing sight. When the Palace Hotel was reached the Knights swung into New Mont- | gomery street and countermarched op- ! posite the entrance. They came to at- | tention as the carriages drove up and | left their occupants at the hotel doors. | | The band then filed into the court of In the carriage with the grand mas- Pierce, Eminent Commander Charles M.
