THE DAY IN BROOKLYN.
RAIN DOES NOT STOP THE PARADE.
FORMATION OF THE LINE OF MARCH, ITS ROUTE


The sudden showers dealt more mkndly with
Bro-ltyn's parade than they did with NewYork'
demonstration. The downpOur at about noon caught
the partalers in the Brooklyn parade and caused
sudden unfurling Of that weapon Of peace the UNI
| brela. II also caused sudden scampcr for cover
among the company Of young girls, clothed In the
National coors. who carried baskets Of flowers before
the G.. A. II. men. But these only slight incon-
| vcnicnccs and the ceremonies OF the day were not
| dampened to mn apprcclablc extent. The parade. OF
course the event Of the day, and Brooklyn pre-
| pared TO do it justice long before daylight when
the less eager citizens awoke they found the town
transformed into a place OF banners and flowers, with
the streets crowded by holiday seekers.
