PARADE OF THE G.. A. B.
The President Reviews 40, 900 Veter
ans in Boston, Mass.

The parade Of the Grand Army of the Re.
public, in Boston, was the grandest demon
stration in the history of the order, and one
of the greatest demonstrations that city ever
saw. Counting in the $50 bands and drum
corps, there were fully 40 600 men in line.
The moving Of this great body of men
through the streets was accomplished with
creditable celebrity. The hour Of beginning
the march was appointed by COmmander-in-
Chief Alger for ha1f-past ten but he did not
see fit to order the movement until an hour
later. Then, however, the march was expe-
ditious, the only delay at any point being
trifling one caused by fire on Washington
and twelve minutes for the head of the col
unn to reach the reviewing stand at the
head of the line, and it vast o'clock before
the Sons of Veterans, who were to bring up
the rear, left their place of formation, on
Marlborough street. The march was not
over until 7:30
The centre of attraction was the grand
stand in Copley square, from which Presi
dent Harrison reviewed the parade.
This stand had seating capacity for
more than three thousand persons, and
when the head of the column came into view
there was but little vacant space. The large
area surrounding the square afforded Oppor-
tunity for thousands of persons to see the
President, General Sherman and other dis
tinguished visitors.
Among those on this stand beside the Pres
ident and General Sherman, both of whom
wore their G.. A. R. badges We're Vice
President Morton, Secretaries Tracy,
Proctor, Noble and Rusk, General
Sickles General Greedy, General Butler,
General John c. Robinson, the former Com
mander of the First corps who lost his
leg at Fredericksburg: General Charles
Devens, Governors Bracket, of Mas
sachusetts; Burleigb, of Maine; Davis, of
Rhode Island, and Dillingham;, of Vermont;
Admirals Gherardi and Kimberley, Congress
men Boutelle and Lodge, Mrs. John A. Lo-
gan, Mrs. Alger, Mrs. Mckee and Mile. Nor

throughout the city on the part Of dealers in
everything except food and drink.
Forty-three departments were represented
in the line, all arranged in the order OF
seniority, except that the Massachusetts, men,
being the receiving body, took the left
The naval organizations, with about 1000
old tars marching, and the Sons Of Veter-
ans formed interesting features of the process
sion.
One hundred thousand strangers were be
heved to have been in Boston. Excursionists
came pouring in all the morning. and the
streets were crowded from an early hour.

MASK OF LIFe.v
The Greatest Drama Ever Produced In
This City-Closing Performance

This City-closing Performance
The MASK of Life" was presented
before large audience at the Academy
OF Music last night, and the people were
astonished beyond measure at the great
ness OF the drama Favorable newspaper
notices had caused many persons who
think that nothing good ever comes to
Wilmington, to attend the performance.
They were delighted.
The MASK of Life" is the best drama
ever produced in Wilmington. Strong
II plot, stirring in its human interest,
thrilling in its climaxes and perfect in
It's acting. it stands peerless as a drama
OF the highest order. The EVENING
JOURNAL praised IL Yesterday, and not
one word of that criticism was misplaced
The personnel of the company which
plays the drama, is enough TO guarantee
the best possible performance. When
this company has such material as the
Mask OF Lift" to work on, every theatre
goer cannot but be gratifed.
} II. Gilmour and Miss Annie Mavor,
than whom are none better on The Ameri-
can stage, divide the honors as hero and
heroine In Leon, Mr. Gilmour has a
part that calls for the impersonation OF
courage, love, suspicion, jealousy, hate,
eliminating in the desire To forever re-
move his wife from him. While he
thinks she is false to him. she finds evi
dence Of his falseness TO her Blinded 10y
the demon jealousy neither can see the
flaws In the circumstances that eucom
pass the other.
Oscar, the mean william who assumes
friendship 10 Leon and Vera, is given a
characteristic impersonRtion by Frazer
Coulter His villiany is so carefully
planned that no suspicion touches him
until almost unieniable proofs arc heard
by Leon. They refer TO his actions as a
spy for the Russian Government. His
dark methods Of melting jealousy are
never apparent, until in the final scene
when he assumes the position of Vera s
protector and attempts to ruin her.
Leon believes her false until at his
threat to kill Oscar, she cries: Eyes kill
him X What 7 he exclaims, Would you
Kill himY Eyes to protect my honor
The comedy element is very fne. The
fondness of DR.. Rsmski for Nine. Men.
skoffs tea makes bright comedy Of the
opening Of the play. John Brown" and
'Serephine" are an odd pair and the
sturdy Englishman's affection for the
sprightly French maid, is as honest as it
is amusing.
The Mask of Life is strong in its eli
makes and the happy conclusion after
the many trials leaves a smile of salts
faction on the faces Of all as they leave
the theatre
The performance could not be excelled.
A large house was present last night; ii
should be crowded this evening. Manager
Jermon has made no change in the scale
of prices, and the public may remember
that the prices will remain the same
throughout the season. Some persons
think that a show is not good unless the
admission fee is higher than usual. This
is no criterion. The Academy Of Music i,
in the hands of a business man, and
deserves the patronage that its good
management is winning. To night is tbs
last chance to see the greatest drama
ever presented here.
