fell all during Saturday night and most of
yesterday, though ut intervals the sky clear

Quite number of Pittsburg g.. A. R. men
expect to be in New York at the celebration of
the Inauguration of Washington as President
Of the United States, which will be held April 30
Commander-in-ChiefW Warner will be present.
and it is expected that every department COM
mander, with his staff, will be in attendance
The campfire at night will probably be the
largest and most enthusiastic ever held on the
continent. The General Committee of Ar.
rangements, representing the citizens and va
r1ous orders, have decided to have q parade
which will be one of the principal features of
the anniversary, and the Grand Army has been
assigned to very important position in line.
The veterans will constitute a division, and
will comprise the left wing of the military pro-
cession. Colonel VIM. D. Walton is the Grand
Marshal of this division, and he has appointed
Captain e. I. Goodrich his Chief of staff
headquarters have been established at the
Union Square Hotel, where Comrade John J,
Symes, Secretary of the Committee of Ar
rangements, is daily in attendance. To defray
the expenses OF the Grand Army $40, 900 have
been appropriated by the New York Legis-
lature. This sum has been lodged with the
Council of Administration of the Grand Army
of the Republic, which will pass upon and pay
all bills certified as legitimate expenses in con-
nection with the parade and campfire. Of the
g. A. r. posts in New York and Brooklyn 1t is
expected that between 80 and 20 will parade
with full ranks. These, with the out-of.town-
posts which have already signified their inten-
ton of participating in the celebration, will
probably aggregate between 5000 and 10000
veterans alone in line.
