The parade of the order of Red Men this
morning was quite lengthy-in some respects
noVel-and attracted great deal Of attention.
The line formed on York avenue, counter
marched to Green street, down Green to Fourth,
to Arch, to Seventh, to Chesnut, to Third, to
Girard avenue.
On reaching the avenue the Order entered
cars specially provided, and was conveyed to
Washington Retreat.
The line was formed in the folio wing order:-

Several bands OF music accompanied the pa
rade. Wagons there were, drawn by teams Of
gaily caparisoned horses, decorated both on side
and on top with Chaplets Of flowers, crowded
with young girls dressed in symbolic red, white
and blue, waving flags OF white, and laughing in
plenitude of merriment. Almost every separate
Lodge had its 'red man, the live, genuine
| Indian, bedaubed with paint bedzened with
willows, girt with weapons. In stately
| gravity they walked along. One bore huge
pipe. another huge. spear. Several were
| on horses; the majority, however, went on
! foot. The children tbrouging the curbstones
| gazed at them with species of childish wonder,
| not unmingled with fear, and even the elders
standing around threw three glances at them,
| but one at their companions, marching before
| and behind. As you looked on them you could
not but associate them with the frequent re.
ports of savage barbarities in the tar West, and
| perhaps this very association produced most oi
that interest with which they were regarded
So much for the Indians.
The other members OF the order all wore
their usual red scarfs, figured with emblems
over their shoulders. They marched two
and kept most excellently in order
Their marshals and captains, bearing
batons, walked by their side. Banners were
numerous. Some lesser in size were carried
by a sturdy German; others, longer
erected on a table-like frame work, required
four or five to hear them. They all looked
bright and new, and were very pretty, Flag
were innumcrabe-so were the wreaths anC
bouquets. The city Red Men"-accustoned u
our streets and their sights-psid rather to-
constant attention to their teet-they didn'
enjoy the mud the country "Red Men" we're al
eyes-they saw and were seen. The strength o
their numbers appeared to give them somewha
ofimportauce, and the chests OF many bore hare
against the buttons of their vests. That was al
right, however, though some of the bystanderi
did smile.
Crowds of people lined the streets-cars ani
other vehicles we're stayed. In the neighbor
hood of Third and Chestnut streets the thorough
fare was fairly blocked. From every windo
peered faces. Barouches containing the ''dig
nitaries" were sprinkled here and there aloni
the line. The 'Mosuls' were eclipssd, however
by the "Indians." The music was excellent
Taken altogether the procession was fine one
At the picnic this afternoon speech will b
delivered by Mr. Segar, member of the GRAM
Lodge of the United States.
Tomorrow the final Inauguration ceremouie
at the new hall Third and Brown streets vii

will close with a complimentary ball. whic
