in the line OF March for the great Hill
parade. The route has been finally set
tied and the committee is agreed to
make no further changes. The question
was fully discussed at meeting of the
committee OH parade yesterday after
noon, and was settled in satisfactory
manner. The route is along many of
the same streets, but the course is
changed. The parade, instead of going
up Sixth street and down Third, will go
up Third from Broadway, aud down
Sixth past the reviewing stand.
A change suggested was one that
would take in a larger section of the
wholesale district, but the committee
found the change was unadVlSable. Tine
iobbers will decorate as deliberately as
if the parade were to pass every door IN
the wholesale district. and for that rea-
son the committee would have liked to
favor them. The different divisions Of
the parade will form on streets parallel
to Broadway and north OF Sixth street.

Broadway and Sixth. The parade will
proceed down Broadway to Third, and
up Third to Washington. 1t Will cross
on Washington to Fifth street, thence
on Fifth street to Smith avenue, on
Smith to Ninth, on Ninth street to EX-

st. Peter TO Sixth and down Sixth street
to Broadway, where the

This will place the reviewing stand at
almost the end of the line of march,

to see the floats as they emerge from

not be seen until after they had passed
through the Smith park arch, which Is
almost adjoining the ColOnnade. The

Various estimates have been made OF
the number of floats which will I've in

yiSing the construction OF the floats,
says that there will be about lao, count

side floats. About seyenty-tiye of these
will represent home concerns.
Should this number be shown the

Get Your Float Permits.
1t is feared that many who intend to
be represented will not be ready OIL the
day of the parade. All parties building
floats are requested to notify the COM
mittee on parade of that fact at once, so
that permits can be issued and places
assigned them in the line. The CON-
mittee must know within very few
days the exact number OF floats TO be
shown in the parade and their general
designs. 1t will be a parade of floats
and no bare trucks with unattractive
displays will be allowed i'll the line.
Permits will he issued where floats are
satisfactory.
The committee further desires to hear
from all outside towns, so that arrange
ments can be made for their floats. The
committee must report the latter part of
next week to the grand marshal the
names of all who intend to participate
in this great event, and unless the OWL
ers of floats send III reports before the
3Oth they run the risk OF being left out.
All communications should be sent to

The parade committee announced
several days ago that il parade Of the
civic societies would take place on the
second day, June s. but the committee
has not been able to arrange for such an
event, and it has been given up. Sew
eral societies expressed willingness to
take part, but Others said it would be
impossible for them to do so, The
opening day Of the celebration will be
a holiday for the wOrkingmen, and it
wUad be difficult for them TO get away
the second day. No civic societies will
be asked to participate in the first days

The various committees in charge of
the celebration have their hands full of
work and the preparations 20 merrily
on. The chairmen of the committees
have frequent conferences. The CORE
