The reduction of the number Of men who
will take part in the industrial parade Of W edncs-
dav next from / 05, 900 to $1,000 will add rather
than de tract from the effectiveness OF the demon
stration. Even IL the number conld be further
reduced the parade would still be the greatest
display OF its kind ever made in this country.
Il will require at least ten hours for the process

rate OF 1000 men an hour, which is excellent
sreed even for well-drllcd troops. Should the
column move promptly at 10 a. m, therefore,
IL will be 8 o'clock in the evening, or later,
before its rear will have passed the reviewing
stand The number Of paraders given does not
include the hundreds of wagons equipped with
Industrial features and floats bearing tableauX
and alegorical designs The work Of preparing
the floats has progressed steadily, and they are
sure TO attract much attention
The parade will be extremely effective as an
object lesson, illustrating the marvellous indus
