THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JUNE 25. 1920. GREAT PAGEANT FEATURES CLOSE OF SHRINE MEET Omaha Delegates Surrender Special Train for Return Trip Go to Atlantic City Next Year. Portland, June 24. (Special Tele gram.) Another great parade, the final official event, featured the clos ing day of the shrine convention. The parade was the annual floral pageant of the Portland rose fes tival, given this year for the special entertainment of the shrine visitors. It was the greatest floral pageant of the many this city has seen. The parade was enjoyed particularly by the shriners because it was one of the few events of the week in which they were spectators instead of par ticipant's, although many of the. shrine bands again marched to sup ply music. Ani unusual feature was the presence of a large delegation of Canadian mounted police, it being the first time this org. nization has ever been permitted to Vave the dominion. v Another big event today was a massed band concert and patrol on Multnomah field. Most of the shrine bairds and patrols took part. It was a brilliant spectacle. To Atlantic City Next. Atlantic City was selected today as the next convention city, the date ft "being June 7 to 9. There was no contest on the noor or tne conven tion, the recommendation being , made by the time and place commit tee. Pueblo, Colo.; Wichita Falls, Te., and Topeka, Kan., were grant ed charters for new temples. The members of the imperial council divan are now looking for ward to thei. trip to Alaska. They will sail from Tacoma next Satur day as the guests of the AfifJ temple of that city, the home of Ellis Lewis Garretson, the new potentate. Omaha shriners today took a rest, comparatively speaking. After cov ering the Vi miles on foot in last night's parade, in addition to all other activities of the week, they rnl'.'

Talc tn26c frankly admitted they were tired. They canceled their plan to partici pate in the mass concert and patrol drill on Multnomah field this morn ing and most of theni took it easy around their headquarters. But they were all out to see the floral parade and pronounced it the great est pageant of its kind they had ever witnessed. ' Tangier is one of the few temples that will break up its train for the return trip. Special cars will be re tained, but some of them will be routed through Canada, some over the Milwaukee and one car via Cali fornia. The band will remain to gether, returning through Seattle and other northern cities, and will play its rapid-fire jazz music where cver it stops. Most of the Ne braskans will leave tomorrow eve ning. "Omaha joins all the other Shrin ers in saying this convention has been a magnificent success," said George C, Adams, first lieutenant of the patrol. "We never enjoyed more iiearty hospitality than that extended by Aikader temple and the people of Portland. We are tired but happy. It has" been a great week." German Losses Heavy. Geneva, June 24.
