Bodies That Will Participate in the
Great Parade.
THE OFFICIAL CEREMONIES

Monday next. over the same route taken
100 years ago. when President George Wash
ington was escorted to the east front of
the Capitol to lay its corner stone. Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland will be escorted to
add by his presence and words to the GEN.
| tennial celebration of that event, which
will ever remain one Of the great incidents
Of American history and progress. One
hundred years ago the immortal Washing
tons escort was tiny band of patriotic
citizens. Monday next the man who holds
today the position held by Washington then
will be escorted to the CapitoPs front by a
procession which in numbers and patriot
| ism and enthusiasm will fittingly mark the
| growth and grandeur of the country during
| the 100 years which have passed. A century
| ago the lack Of steam and electricity Ire
vented more than a local attendance. Mon
| day next electricity having heralded long
ago from north to south and east to west
| the coming of the day Of the celebration.
| the power of steam will Hood the nation 5
| capital with patriots from every part Of
the land. that they be part OF a celebration
/ which will hardly be less memorable than
the event of 100 years ago.
| The Parade.
! While Mondays parade will not be a very
large one. yet it will be one of the most in
| teresting and attractive ever before seen
| here. where such spectacles are SO often
/ seen. AS was the case 100 years ago, TIE
civic organizations will predominant. and in
that respect at least. the procession will be
| something of a departure from those so
often seen in Washington. Eminently a
| civic event, that fact will be recognized in
the giving of the right of line, the highest
honor in such affairs to the civic bodies.
Yet the military division of the parade will
be no less great in numbers than in effec-

! ulars and the militia will be largely repre-
scented. The importance of the parade was
perhaps acknowledged by the general COM
mittee in their selection Of Gen. Albert Ord
| way. commanding the District militia, as
| chief marshal, one of the very best and
most able men for so important a position.
Gen. Ordway deeply approaching the COM
pliment paid him, enthusiastically entered
upon his duties, determined that the parade
| should be one of the most memorable al d
! enjoyable features of the centennial cele-
| bration. That II will be there Is now not
| the slightest doubt.
