ITALIAN SOCIETIES PARADE.
Celebrating the Anniversary Of
the Capture Of Rome
Formation Of the Line at Washing
ton Square.

To the Italians OF New York to-day
means quite as much as Fourth Of July
does to a patriotic American. 1t is
the twenty-third anniversary OF the oc-
cupation of Rome by Victor Emanuel
and elimination of Garabaldi's memora-
BILE campaign for the unihcation OF
| Italy.
The days celebration began with a
, parade. in which more than fifty organ
izations took part. Long before 10 A. NJ.
Washington Square was crowded with
the societies that were to parade.
The hour for the line to start was an
nounced as 10 A. NJ, but the parade was
more than an hour late in getting under
way.
The Grand Marshal was c. Rotena,
l.. Cascioligovine. The guide was A.
Cotassi.
Before them were six mounted trum-
peters, and at their rear were the fol-
lowing organizations. marching In the

but owing to Mayor Gilroy's refusal to
permit the floating of Italy's nag on
that structure 1t was changed to the
route named.
The uniforms OF the societies in line
represented almost every type of mill
tary dress dear to the italian heart.
Some wore the red shirts and braod-
brimmed hats made famous by Carl
baldi legions: there were horsemen in
the gay garb OF the Cavalleria Pesante,
and the Bersaglien Band. with tufrs Of
long. black feathers pendant from their
peculiar, glazed hats. The nag of Italy
and the Stars and Stipes were every
where in evidence. About 1000 were in
line.
After the parade there will be a festi-
val at Jones's Wood this afternoon and
evening.
In regard to the application OF the
United Italian Societies that the italian
flag should be hoisted on the City Hall
to-day, Mayor Gilroy has written Presi-
dent yucca that he intended no dis
elimination against Italians, but that
he had decided against the display OF the
flag In question In accordance with the
rule In reference to the display Of for
eign flags on city buildings.
Mayor Gilroy says: "A National holi-
day that has no political Significance or
that typifles the aspirations of strug-
Cling people for national existence
| may thus be marked. 1t Is de-
sirable. however, to avoid the off,
cial recognition In this country of such
state days when they are merely cele-
brations OF some changes In a mona rch-
ial form OF government"
