March.
Memorial Day parade, which takes place
tomorrow in this city, viii be a magnificent
sight. That is what Lieutenant Colonel w.
B. Mason says, and he ought to know, since he
is Grand Marshal of the entire affair. Since
a week past he has been busy with the de-
tails of the parade, such as line of march,
appointment of assistant aides and other
matters essential to a display of this char
acter. There is one thing Colonel Mason has
agreed upon, which many people, particu-
larly those actually a part of the parade,
will belpleassd to hear, that every organlza-
ton constituting the parade viii be able, as
it were, to review the other fellows. That
is, by COMMUNICATING, the various parts of
the big procession will pass each other, ands SO
give the participating people the emporium
itv to see how others look. Such a change
necessitated a general order, which The
JERSEY CITY NEWS printed two days ago..
