WARMLY RECEIVED.
The reception given the visitors on the
Southside was very warm, the Allegheny
Councils in particular being applauded. 1t
was thought that the organizations from the
Northside would not muster in great
strength, and when the. full ranks showed
this to be a mistake the Southsiders were
highly pleAsed. The route was very long,
and it was 6 o'clock when the last of the
Councils marched down Fifth avenue,
homeward bound.
The Washington Council No. 1, of Ger
mantown, Pa, the first council of the order
ever organized, carried the Oldest flag
owned by the organization. This council
was given the right of way, and made very
good impression.
The Acme Council engaged the great Al
toona Band to lead them in the march.
They wore very becoming uniforms, and
their music was counted as some of the
finest ever heard in the city. On the occa-
sion of the Armstrong monument unveiliDg
they made an excellent impression, which
was not lessened yesterday. They gave
such satisfaction that the Acme Council
Immediately engaged them for next years
parade. After the parade yesterday they
serenaded the Lotus Club, of the Southside,
and were entertained for an hour in the
parlor of the club. On their way to the
train last night they appeared before The
DISPATCH Office, on Fifth avenue, and
played several selections.
