In the hopc that tue prizes which have BEEN
offered by the Army Committee to organizations
taking part in the industrial parade will have
tendency to make them march wen, form quickly
and adhere 70 oil the rules which have been laid
down for their guidance. General Butterfield has
decided to admit into the line an aggregate Of
80, 600 men. which is q reduction of little moro
than 20 per cent on the original number offered.
To make the handling of such fierce practicable
it will be necessary TO dismiss some of the con-
tingents some time before they reach Canal-st.
BY this plan the General believes the entire parade
will be able to pass in a reasonable time and with
out too great fatigue to the marchers or the spec
tators.
Fire-encines, hose-carts and bands in the fire.
mems division will move in double column. two
engines and two hose-carts abreast and two bands
abreast. The floats of the industrial portion will
be placed two abreast. This disposal will shorten
the column some two TO three miles. Where the
fine floats representing historical incideDtsan the
beautiful metaphorical floats Of the German-Ameri
can division make IT desirable that floats should
not be placed two abreast. they will be placed
under the special escort of some of the military
of them. These positions viii be positions Of
special honor to the commands receiving them.
no SAVE ALL POSSIBLE FATIGUE.
The chief marshal announces that he viii order
divisions which are not TO be moved early in the
day nor to enter the column until ono or two
or three hours after the head of the column has
been started, to be formed that much later than
the leading divisions, so that, for instance,
4l.a III efar IN anfa ha
until IL o'clock, win not be required to be in
position as early as those who start ct the head
of the column, thus saving oil possible fatigue
to the men. The interest and patriotism evinced
by all thu organizations are remarkable, AMI their
desire to have this historical pageant success
gives confidence t6at the civic and industrial
parade viii be o marvel. General Butterfeld
told a reporter yesterday that upward Of fifty
floats to appear in tho procession were worth
walking miles TO see.
TO save space 10 has been decided TO allow
only one band or drum corps to each section of
from 400 to 500 men. All the accepted organiaa-
tons we've informed Of the reduction, and Will
be expected to use their best efforts to prevent
the civic parade from being too slow or 700 long.
1t is confidently believed at headquarters that
earnest cooperation on the part Of the various
organizaticts viii secure satisfactory result in
Anothei ~ General Butteraelds precautions is
set forth Ia a circular which was sent yesterday
