NEW SERIES—VOL- I-SO. i). BRILLIANT IN THE EXTREME. 'The Conclave as Seen by a Geor gia Woman- A GREAT DAY IN LOUISVILLE- The Marching Knights Form aPa geant— The Grandest in the # City’s History. On the morning of August 26th V e started on our journey from Winona Lake over the Big Four rai ! road southward, arriving at Louisville at 8:30 p. m. We ran into Seventh street station, and wnen we looked out there were seemingly acres of people to meet a, I looked on and wondered ho v we could ever penetrate that solid mass of humanity, but I was quickly relieved of that doubt as we recognized the face of our splen did host, Mr R. C. Caldwell, who had soon taken us in full charge, and being a traveling man knew just how to arrange to get through the crowd. We were soon seated in his carriage and being driven through the beautifully illumina ted and decorated streets of Louis ville, all the business houses being resplendent with electrical displays n the shape of Maltese crosses and crowns and other designs. There has never been such an electrical •display south as was seen in Louis ville. It was indescribable in its magnificence and brilliancy. Louisville had on her gala dress on this occasion, and on every side were incoming Knights in com manderies marching to their head- quarters under escort and accom panied by bands and cheered by thousands along the streets who were there to welcome them. We -soon arrived at our home, where we were received by Miss Caldwell in that gracious manner which seems so natural to Kentucky women. After a good night’s rest we pre pared to take in the sights. We were fortunately located on St. James Court, where we could wit ness the grand parade which was six miles in length, and was in line at 9:30 on Main street and on up Main into Brooks, and then Market and then to Jefferson, then through the beautiful Court of Honor,to the city hall, which was decorated in every conceivable place with bunting and banners, and at Fourth and Broadway they passed under the grand arch, which was a gigantic crown and cross of Malta, emblematic of the order; then on until they reached St. James Court, and to Central Park, where they disbanded at 3:30 p. m. We stood six hours ana thirty minutes looking on this line of march; twenty thousand plumed in their full uniform, twenty thousand swords flashed in the sunlight, twenty thousand nod ding plumes, and four-score gaily uniformed bands discoursing sweet music, and high above all each comraandery had floating a banner of the cross of old glor3’. This was a grand sight, such as has scarcely ever been witnessed be fore in Louisville. Many eyes were wet with tears. Many in this parade were past middle life, and this fact only made the scene more impressive. The Louisville com mandery led off this line of march, and they were the first to disband, and passing back up the street we had the pleasure of meeting many of the noble Knights, and then came our own Gate City command ery, of which we were justly proud, and many of them were good men of our own state. It was estimated that more than three hundred thousand witnessed this grand parade. .There were seventy-five thousand Knights in the city, und more than two hun dred thousand visitors. Each comraandery was accompanied by their wives, daughters and sisters, who were accorded the same privi leges as the Sir Knights. Beauti ful women and gallant Knights from Maine to California were here. Louisville has made her self immortal in the hearts of these men and women. Noted for her hospitality, she has on this occas ion been more generous than ever Before, Her gates were unlocked and the keys given to the visitors, and Louisville was under the Cross and Crown, and they in turn were pleased with their reception and THE NEWS AND COURANT. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1901. entertainment and accepted the compliment in the most gracious tuau From dawn till dark, trom dark till dawn, the streets of the city were filled with people. Sir Knights and beautiful and gaily dressed women marching to the music and attending the recep tions in various parts of the city, where all were invited from 8 o’clock a. m., till midnight. Drill day at Churchill Downs was one of the beautiful and inter esting features of the conclave. It was a genuine Kentucky show, and the visitors at this place saw the finest drilled templar teams work and a beauty show that has scarcely if ever been equalled. Visitors from every state in the union were there, and never before has such a cos nopolitan crowd been seen in historic old Downs. Li 5 place perhaps is not familiar to your readers, but is the famous race track of the country, with its fine views and handsome courses. The sponsors attended in body, a*d were selected from among the most beautiful young women of Kentucky and other states, and thev presented a very striking scene, all dressed in pure white with white picture hats, as they came from the tent which had been specially*arranged for them to mfeet the Knights as they came from the field of drill, They each vied with the other in attention to these gallant Knights, and the prizes were presented by these fair young girls to the victorious commauderies in the evening at the horse show building, where all the beauty and chivalry of the city, as well as that of the visitors, was presented. Last night the grand ball given in honor of the sponsors and maids of honor at the horse show build ing was one of the most brilliant in the annals of the city, and was largely attended by the Knights and their ladies. More than twen ty eight hundred tickets were is' sued to the floor, and no gentleman was admitted unless in full uniform of a Knight or in full evening dress. Of course all ladies were admitted. There were said to be fifteen thousand people who wit nessed this brilliant affair. This was a fitting finale of this great event, and the curtain was rung down on a scene of beautiful wo men and chivalrous men to the music of ‘‘Home Sweet Home,” and the twenty-eighth triennial Conclave had come to a glorious ending Louisville holds the first place in the hearts of the Knights, and they expressed themselves as hav- I g had the times of their lives a: and they were glad they had the privi lege of coming. Mr. Jones left this morning to finish bis chautauqua engagement. We will remain until Sunday night, and then home to Carters ville, Ga., after haviug spent one of the most delightful summers of our lives. But as I said in a for mer letter, we are always glad to turn our faces homeward, and will be glad to meet the loved ones of our own state and town. Mrs. Sam P. Jones.
