The turnout OF the Orangemen yesterday,
IN parade, com memoratively of the two
hundredth anniversary of the battle OF
Aughrim and the restoration Of Protestant
Ascendency consequent on the defeat of
james the Second in 1000, was a surprise
alike to themselves and to those whose
views run in a different direction. II
was not expected that the parade would
have been longer than last wears, and the
fact that it was, numerically three times
stronger, must be taken as evidence OF a
steady growth of the order in this section
of the State and Eastern Ohio. The
strength Of the Keystone District is placed
At about 5, 800 and of this number about
5000 Joined in the parade and of the DEM
onstration it is only necessary to say that
it was marked by good order steady march
ing and for the absence of comment Of any
kind which characterized the crowds along
the line of march. The various lodges
turned out in full paraphernalia, gorgeous
in red, blue and orange scarfs, and with ban
ners resplendent with golden devices. The
latter bore such notices as "William and
Washington, - Derry, Aughrims and the
Boyne," ave Maintain the Union" etc.
The officers of the lodge carried their SYM
bols of Office. The members of the ladies'
lodges, which are four in number and in
clude about go, did not turn out in such
strong force as was expected.
The parade formed at the corner of Wood
and Water streets, and moved promptly at
$50 A. M, over the following route; Smith
field street to Fifth avenue, to Market street,
to Sixth, across Suspension bridge to Federal
street, to Ohio, to Chestnut, across Sixteenth
street bridge to Sixteenth street, to Penn
avenue, to Eleventh street, TO Liberty to
Fifteenth street and countermarch to Union
depot.
Counter marching from Water on Smith
field street each band struck up the "Boyne
Water" and the old time strains awoke
various conflicting memories in the listeners.

ALL OF ONE MIND.
The paraders their relatives and friends
and the public in general who had an idle
day on their hands, were of one mind in
getting out OF the city as soon as possible
and betdkng them to the somewhat cooler
shades Of Hutton Grove. Here by far the
greatest number of the holiday seek
ers hied them; those who had
elected 10 picnic all to themselves
at Alliquippa being comparatively few in
number. ltis estimated that fully 10000
people passed through the gates into the
Grove. The ticket collectors saw they issued
between 5000 and 10000 tags, and as these
were given only to the male portion, the es-
innate is probably not wide of the mark.
There must have been, including babes in
arms and children of every age, at least
twice as many women as men on the ground.
The ticket sellers at the depot state that
there were 3, 900 tickets sold for Hutton, but
the checking at the gate would be the best
guide as to the number present.
There was a marked absence of the over
crowding which usually characterizes
picnic train, due, without doubt, to the
celebrity and dispatch with winch the trans
portation was handled. After the comfort |
ably cool days Of Thursday and Friday,
the return yesterday of the torrid temper
sture of the earlier portion of the week was
not hailed with joy. The leafy shelter of
the grove was all the more welcome in con-
trast to the glare in the open, the foliage be-
ing so rife as to throw an interrupted canopy |
over the sward. Everything was in favor
OF good time, and everybody present. ex-
cepting one unfortunate who passed the day
in the lookup, seemed to derive full enjoy
ment from the opportunity.
A REGULATION PICNIC
This much being said about the Orange
mems picnic, there is very little more that
can be added. 1t was like anv other picnic.
and to recount the details would be to tell
the readers of THE DISPATCH of scenes
they are familiar with. Perhaps, despite
the determined effort of the mercury to top
the nine;ies, most interest ceutered in the
dancing platform. Director Samuel Beatty
and his Montooth Orchestra PLAYED such
tempting oance music, so frequently and in ,
such good time, that the floor was not vacant
for one minute during day which COM
;nenced al ~ o'clock and ended at 10 o'clock
ut night. And persistently the dancers
kept at IL. When not engaged in the
''mazy" they imbibed lemonade, varied
