their place in the line of parade as body,
on account of the loss Of their flag which

Other Departments had small but fine
looking representations.
After the parade had passed 10 was found
that the time taken for this to happen was
only four hours, the last man passing al
$3.50 o'clock. This was evidently due to The
perfect order maintained in the parade
and on the line OF march. Immediately
there was general outburst of express
sioDs from the dignitsries on the review
ing stand to the effect that the parade
was one of the best managed ever seen, and
not break had been found to critieise. Is
was parade without a halt, except the QUE
officially scheduled, and this was something
remarkable and the subject of continued
comment. 1t is evident that the shOrtdu.
ration of the parade was due to this sgreea-
bic circumstance alone, as the numbers in
line were above the average for these pa
rades. The line of march, too, was shorter
than usual, and the vets moved in deeper
columns than usual, as they had the entire
route clear all of the time.
