 THE ENCAMPMENT AT DETROIT. Forty Thousand Veterans Take Part in the Parade-A Proud Day in the History of the Grand Army-Feat- ures of the Processfen-A Serious Dispute On the Color Question. DETROIT, Aug. 4.-This has been 8 proud day in the history of the Grand Army of the Republic. It has witnessed the grandest parade in the history of the organization, and has made the twenty fifth or t'silver encampment" an occasion of magnifcence and grandeur, surpassing the fondest dreams cherished by it's hum ble founder, Dr. Stephenson of Illinois, twenty-five years ago. For six hours to- day, under hright sun, 10000 veterans tramped sturdily over the line of march, and such was the inspiration of the mo- ment that even the feeblest of the maimed and crippled comrades found themselves adequate to the ordeal of the five miles, march.
 Besides the staff of the commander-in- chief there were on the reviewing stand Secretary of War Proctor, Secretary of the Navy Tracy, General Miles, Assistant Secretary Bussey, two or three governors, and half dozen past commanders-in- chief.
 Ex-PRESIDENT HAYES IN LINE.
 The spectacle of an ex-president of the United States marching in the ranks is so unusual that the tremendous ovation ten dered ex-President Hayes to-day was hard ly surprise. The cheers which swept along the line of march like a huge, but slowly rising tidal wave was ever an indi- cation of the presence of the distinguished ex-president. General Hayes was recog- uized by all as he marched with his post from Fremont, O., down Griswold street and near the intersection of Congress street he kissed several little girls who ran out to meet him. The old gentleman car ried palm leaf fan and appeared to enjoy the occasion quite as much as his comrades of the post.
 THE GIRL CADETS.
 The girl cadets, a single platoon of thir- teen, in red caps and gold chevrons, gold collars and blue suits, of Mccoy post, Ohio, were loudly applauded as they kept correct line and stepped accurately to the music of the rattling drum corps. The Michigan female band shared with their Ohio sisters the plaudits of the multitudes. The features of the first division were the Illinois goose, which hung on a pole with the inscription that everything was love- ly and the goose hangs high," and the leather dressed man from Wisconsin, who bore the badger. 'Old Abe," the Wiscon- gin war eagle, was, of course, cheered at every corner. It was notable fact that the old war tunes, Marching Thro' Geor- occasional bursts of "Yankee Doodle" called out the most vociferous applause on all occasions.
 ILLINOIS AT THE HEAD. Governor Oglesby and Captain Meredith, chief of the bureau of printing and en- graving, both marched with the Illinois contingent. The white locks of the vener- able general made him conspicuous every where, and he shared with ex-Governor Fairchild of Wisconsin the cheers of the spectators.
 Secretary Proctor rode in a carriage just behind the commander-in-chief. He was all smiles and appeared to be enjoying himself immensely. He was kept contin- ually busy raising his hat in response to the DlauQ1CS or Uu6 CTOWu.
 Among the other prominent men in at tendance or participating in the parade were: Governor Page of Vermont, Cover nor Winans of Michigan and Senator Man l derson of Nebraska.
 FOUR GREAT ARCHES. Promptly at the hour appointed the posts assembled on the line of march. Four great arches erected by the citizens in different parts of the city marked this l line. Peace arch, at Fort and Griswold streets, through which the procession first passed, before the inscription, "Cherily on, courageous friends, to reap the harvest of perpetual peace" On the opposite side was the inscription: "Their prowess brought us peace; undying be theiI fame." Another arch bridged Jefferson avenue, but the tower and war arch at the intersection of Woodward and Jefferson avenues was the finest work of art. Il was built upon the plan of the Eiffel tower of Paris, and is double arch look ing through from either avenue. It is sur mounted by white flag with square ot red center, one of the designs used by the signal corps. A picture is given of the firing on Fort Sumter in the foreground, { covered single mortar battery engaged with the confederate national flag flying from staff planted near by; a broat reach of water to the fort, whicl is wreathed il smoke from it's own guns On other sides are represented the surren der of Lee and the famous march dow Pennsylvania avenue in Washington ol the occasion of the last review.
