$4,000 MEN TO BE IN LINE.
HANDLING THE GREAT CROWDS.
The FORMATION OF THE DIVISIONS

Only four davs intervene until the cele-
bration of the four hunGredth anniversary of
this country's discovery. The indications
point to a demonstration in this city worthy
thc great event. Had it not been for the
cholera scare which paralyzed preparations
for several weeks, it would be hard to esti-
mate how great the affair would have been.
As it is Major Denniston, Chief Marshal of
the big parade, says the reports
received within the past two
DAYS justify him to expect from
Sc, 900 to 81, coo men in line next Friday.
This will be the largest parade in the city
history.
The final arrangements have nearly all
been completed. No class of society except
the political bodies, as such, will not be
represented in the big demonstration, and
il promises to far exceed the county centen-
nial OF 1855. About $500 is yet needed to
pav the expenses, which citizens are e1-
pected to contribute within the next two
days.
Handling the Big Parade.
The arrangements for handling the big
parade are as complete as could be expected.
Chief Brown will stretch wires along Fifth
avenue from telegraph posts along the
center lines from Grant to Market streets
and along Market to Liberty street, to keep
people out of the way of the marchers. An
arrangement was made between the officials
and street railway companies by which the
companies will clear the streets of cars
when the parade starts. The Birmingham
company viii stop traffic entirely while the
parade is moving over their route. The
Filth avenue cars will not GO be-
low Grant street after the column
reaches this side of the river, after
leaving the SoU;hside. The other cars
lot running along the route of parade, but
crossing it will block their cars until the
end OF each division passes. Then the cars
in waiting will pass through the column,
which Will halt for them, five minutes
being allowed The entire police force of
both cities will be on duty all day Friday
10 preserve order, prevent bockades and
assist in every way possible to make the
parade pass of successfully.
