THE PRESIDENT AT BROOKLYN.
Grand Parade of q. A. H. Posts-Fall Of a
Grand Stand,

BROOKLYN, N, Y, Jnne 1.--The decora
tion day ceremonies were observed here
Monday with more than usual interest.
The grand parade OF the numerous Grand
Army posts militia regiments, and United
States troops was witnessed by ali immense
concourse of people, many having come from
New York and Jersey City for the purpose
cf obtaining glimpse OF President Cleve-
land. The president and his party arrived
from New York early, and were escorted
from the ferry TO the residence of Joseph
Knapp, 81 Bedford avenue, by the Twenty
third regiment, N. G. s. N. Y, under
che Command of Col Fincke. The
shower which had been threatening all the
morning came very inopportunely, and
caused "a thinning in the ranks of the
throngs who lined the streets, but the rush
was still SO great that it required tie SER
vices of a large body of police to keep o
sufficient space clear for the procession
Gen. j. S Caltin and his staff received
the president and bis party at Mr.. Knapp's
and after the greetings they repaired to the
reviewing stand The line then formed at
the junction Of Broadway and Bedford
avenue, and passed the reviewing stand
which was occupied by President Cleve-
land and his party. The president
remarked that he was much pleased
with the appearance OF the men
and the parade. There was a
grand reviewing stand at Clinton and Lafay-
ette avenues, and so many crowded upon it
that it was unable to bear their weight, and
as the procession was passing it came down
with crash and the occupants were thrown
together in a confused heap There were
loud screams from the ladies', and it was at
first supposed that number were injured,
but when they all got out Of the tangle it
was found that only four had received
bruises.
The various Grand Army posts wended
their way to the various cemeteries, where
appropriate ceremonies were held and the
graves Of their dead comr ads decorated

Japan for railroad ties, aggregating 100. :

quate conception Of the size Of this order
may be had from our authority, who
says this mill has never cut more than
80, 600, 600 feet in one year, hence it
would take four years Of steady work to
fill the. japanese order Moreover, it is
claimed thatif tics can be pro.uccd at

places, the same must be true Of large
timber, and further extensive orders
may be accepted. Such an order must
create better times on Puget Sound and
lend a better feeling to business gener-
ally. Such din order must have its effect
upon the value OF lumber at all shipping
points, not,only by reason Of the amount
absorbed in this single order, but as in
dicating future large markets for Ameri-
can lumber. -
