OVER FIFTY THOUSAND.

Probable Size of the Parade at the @. A. r..
Encampment i'm September.
Over $4,000 men wearing the badges Of the
Grand Army win march up Pennsylvania ave-
nue. on the Goth of September next Already
quarters have been assigned in this city to over
40 900 men, and each day applications for quar-
tiers are coming in from posts in all parts
of the country. 1t is impossible 10
estimate the exact number of veterans who will
be here, but it is pretty safe to say that it will
exceed the attendance at any previous encamp-
ment. When il is considered that 40. 600 repre-
sents the total population of many cities thst
are considered TO be pretty large places il is
easier to comprehend in some degree the spec
tacle that will be Witnessed on the avenue on
the day of the grand parade.
THE LINE OF MARCH.
The committee on parade and review, OF
which Gen. Ellis Spear is chairman. has practi-
cally decided upon the line Of march. The pro-
cession will start from the Peace monument
| and in files of about twenty five
men will sweep up the avenue
to Washington Circle, where the parade will be
dismissed. The different departments viii take
position in the line according TO seniority Of or
ganization, and will be massed about the Capt.
| tol ready TO fall in line. At the White House
the procession will pass in front of a reviewing
stand, occupied by the President and members
! ef the cabinet. At some point between the
White House and Washington Circle will be To-
Gated a reviewing stand. to be occupied by the
commander-in-chef and officials of the Grand
Army.
