PARADE OF THE G.. A. R.
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, 000 men in line.
The moving of tEis great body of men
through the streets was accomplished with
creditable celerity. The hour of beginning
the march was appointed by Commander-in-
Chief Alger for half-past ten, but he did not
see Git to order the movement until an hour
later. Then, however, the march was eSpe-
ditious, the only delay at any point being q
trifing one caused by a fire on Washington
street, near Hollis. It required two hours
and twelve minutes for the head of the col
umn to reach the reviewing stand ut the
head of the line, and it was 6 O'clock before
the rear, left their place Of formation, on
Marlborough street. The march was not
over until 7:30.
The centre of attraction was tho grand
stand in Copley square, from which Presl
dent Harrison reviewed tho parade.
This stand had seating capacity fol
more than three thousand persons, and
when the head of the column came into vie"
there was but little vacant space. The large
area surrounding the square afforded oppor-
tunity for thousands OF persons to sec 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, were Vice
President Morton, Secretaries Tracy,
Proctor, Noble and Rusk, General
Sickles, General Greely, General Butler,
General John G. Robinson, the former Com
mander of the First corps, who lost his
leg at Fredericksburg: General Charlie;
Devens, Governors Bracket, of Mas
sachusetts; Burleigh, of Maine; Davis, OF
Rhode Island, and Dillingham;, of Vermont;
Admirals Gherardi and kimberley, Congress
men Boutelle and Lodge, Mrs. John \: 10
gan, Mrs. Alger, Mrs. Mckee and Nile. Nor
dica.
There was q total suspension of bushes
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 oi
seniority, except that the Massachusetts men
being the receiving body, took the left. ,,
The naval organizations, with about 4oVU
old tars marching, and the Sons OF Veter-
ans formed interesting features of theproces'
sion.
One hundred thousand strangers wero be
lieved to have been in Boston. Excursionists
came pouring in all the morning and the
streets were crowded from an early hour. :.
