LOAN EXHIBITION.
At a meeting Of the Army Committee Of the
Centennial Committee last evening, it was de-
| cided to modify the line of march for both the
military and industrial parades by having both
pass around Union Square. The troops for the
military parade win be so massed in the lower
part Of the city that they win al pass over the
entire route above Pne-st
The military parade win start at 10 a. m. on
April 80 from wallst and Broadway, and pro-
coed up Broadway to Waverhy Place; through
Waverley Place TO Fifth-ave. up Fifth-aye. to
Fourteenthst, through East Fourteenth-st 70
the east side of Union Square, thence along the east
north and west sides of Union Square to Fifteenth
ST., through Fifteehth-st to Fifth-ave, and thence
up Fifth-ave. to Ffty-seventh-st.
The industrial parade viii start from Fifty
seventh-st. and Fifth-ave. at 10 a. N. on May
1, proceed down Fifth-ave. TO Fifteenthst,
through Flfteenth-st. to Union Square. around
Union Square on the north side 10 Fourth-ave.,
to Fourteenth-st; through Fourteenth-st to Fifth
ave. down Fifth-avc to Waverley Place, through
Waverley Place TO Broadway, thence down Broad
way to Canal-st. II has been deemed imprac-
ticablc to take the industrial parade TO the lower
part of the city, as IL would be almost impossible
20 disperse It without blocking the column.
THE COMMITTEES PERFECTING THE PLANS
The Fish. McAllister incident having been num-
bered with the troubles OF the past, work at the
Centennial Offices went on along in quiet order

regard TO the subject is expected today.
The Police Commissioners yesterday undes
took the work of a committee On public comfort
during the Centennial days by passing resolutions
asking propretors of hotels and lodging and
boarding houses and oil other persons who are
willing TO take dodgers or boarders during the
period of the Centennial celebration, 10 send their
names and the location OF their houses and resi-
denees, together with the terms exactod, to the
staton.house Of their precinct
An inquiry was received from Mr.. Ellis OF
Arlington, Va, asking what has become OF flag

ago. The flag was kept in q case as memento
of washingtons first Inauguration, and belonged

ASKING TO BE EXCUSED.
The discussion which has taken place with 70
qard 20 the coming Of 5000 Pennsylvania troops
and the expense Of their transportation, etc. has
caused the LIST Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia reg1-
ment, to ask Governor Beaver 20 excuse tho
regiment from participating In tho celebration.
Some of the reports which appeared In the papers
caused good deal OF illfeeling among the Penn.
syIvania troops and John w. Woodslde, com.
missioner from the State to the celebration, wrote
TO Mr. Hamilton, chairman Of the Committee on
States. 10 ask for on official statement OF the
committees Intentions In reply TO this letter
tho following, signed by Messrs. Hamilton and
Bowen. was sent:
Ny attention has been called 10 the articles in he
parrs in relation 70 the reception Of the Pennsylvania
state troops May thank you 70 give tho proper notice
70 the people your State that the National Guard OF
Pennsylvania invited % take part In tho reception
In the fullest meaning Of the word To them VII be

and ratons s provided troops from tho other States
and we trust they will accept the invitation In he ssHo
kindly spirit &c was extended 70 them Such was the
original Intention, and departure from uie same has
never even been contemplated
The EXPENSE incurred by the committee for
the various military contingents will be con
Siderable and IL was for this reason that the
price OF seats on the Gevtewin gstands was raised,

the Pennsylvania troops were the only ones VINO
