the great masses. of people that crowded
them to the north and south like the tribu-
tarleS OF a great river system. The four
and fve-story buildings for the entire dis
tance offered excellent points OF view for
invited guests, and thousands witnessed the
parade from upper-story windows and
crowded roofs.
At 1870 O'Clock the German Veterans,
who opened the day with salute of twenty
one guns for the President. fired one gun as
signal for the assemblage of the several
divisions composing the procession, and at
that instant the streets along the route ar
ranged We're cleared of street-cars and We
hicles of all kinds. The principal fOrma-
ton was at the intersection of Alabama
ana washington streets where the stop
ping OF PRESIDENT Harrison's carriage for
moment drew throng of people that
reached for over a block in each direction.
Inc delay OF the carriage W as unavoidable.
and wholly unintentional on the part of
the management, but it suited the people.
They cheered loudly and long, and once
again that cry was heard on the streets of
the city which was SO common few months
ago-'Whats the matter with HarrisonP

general. Wilbur +. Hit, assisted by divis-
ion commanders and staff officers, had the
divisions under complete command, and,
with no small amount of skill and ingenu-
ity. they were brought into line exactly as
the order had been originally planned.
The line. after being formed, was simply q
repetition of the scenes of the last campaign,
with multiplied enthusiasm and numbers.
Behtting the day, the Grand Army veteran
was the most prominent character in line
and to his presence was great
deal of the military success of the
day to be attributed. AS the procession
went east on Washington street and
turned north on Pennsylvania, the scene
was, perhaps, as imposing asanywhere along
