pearance OF the men marching in the
parade. Along the line Of march many
encomiums were passed on the soldier
" appearance Of the Knights OF St
George, the fine turnout Of the German
societies and the bearing OF the Hiber-
mans themselves. The parade was most
creditable and the four hundred men
in line had reason to be proud OF them
selves.
Fully 1850 people went out to the
Wheeling park after the parade, to en-
Joy the fragrant flowers, the inviting
green, the balmy air and the numerous
attractions provided by the manage
ment OF the park. The opera house
orchestra, under the leadership OF Prof.
Joe Kramer, furnished dancing music
at the pavilion, while on top OF the
mound there was big crowd gathered
to listen to the excellent music dis
coursed oil the afternoon by the opera
house band, led by Director Spiel. All

entire day.lat the park, returning late
IN the evening to escape the scorching
rays OF old Sol.
