The parade was very creditablc one. The
line OF march was over the route heretofore
printed. The ruin hold off, but the atruos
pherc was murky, and marching was hot
work. The men stuck to it bravely, though
aud elected admiration all along the route
by their soldieriy bearing. The marching
movements were IN nearly every case exc
cuied with ease and precision. The uni
formed divisions presented handsome ap
pearance with their helmets, red plumes
scarlet banners, flashing sworLs md chains
and neat und hobby suits. Wheeling has
reason to be pFoad Of C9ur de Leon division.
