Grand Marshal.
It will be observed that the line Of
march is entirely novel for public
procession in our city, including Fort,
Commercial, Los Angeles and Also
streets, which have hitherto failed to
receive recognition from paradlng
bodies. With the rapid growth of
our city in the past year, and the large
population of these localities, it seems
no more than just that they should
come in for share of attention. The
route has been curtailed as much as
possible and lies entirely over well
formed streets, so that we trust it will
prove satisfactory to all who partici-
pate in the parade and the great mass
of lockers on. Grand Marshal Mitch
ell deserves commentator for his eff
forts to accommodate every part of
the community.
