Harrison carried a large white BAN
ner of peace, mounted on staff, like
the stars and stripes carried by his
confederate comrade. The two flags
were alike in every respect except in
color, one being all pure white. In
place of the eagle on the top of the
staff, the white banner had a dove,
carrying an olive twig, designating
peace and good will. Following
these, the divisions lined up as fol-
lows:

OLD NED IN LINE.
Among the features of the parade
was Old Ned, the war horse, over
forty years DID, that has heretofore
tramped with the boys along the line
of march. Old Ned is now so feeble
that he today rode on a float. The
New HAMPSHIRE department carried
large eagle. The Ohio boys all wore
buckeyes, the Ktntuckians had corn
nd oil = Jn
blems of their states The procession
moved on time to the moment to the
great satisfaction of hundreds of thou
Sands suffering along the line of
march, as well as those in line. The
therm ometer stood at 96, and the en-
thusiasm was equally high. One hun
dred Kentucky horses were mounted
by the committee on parade and re-
view, and they made a chivalrous ap-
< pearance. An equal number of the
citizen aides rode fine horses. Col.
- oh was frequently cheered, as was
he carriage of the governor, but when
the-white caps of the escorting Column
bia post of Chicago loomed up, the
multitudes opened the chorus of cheers
for Commander Lawler and kept up
the cheering as the posts of the differ
street intersections. The column
passed the reviewing stand in front of
the court house at IL a. m. When the
right of the column reached Fifth and
Jefferson streets, halt was made;
the whole of the escort wheeled into
line, facing south, and allowed the
commander-in-chief and his staff and
invited guests in carriages, to pass
nd o1z4 bot, +c, +1aa -ir,rr
stand, when the whole column passed
in review. On the corner of Third and
Market streets on the south of Mar
ket and on Third street, the depart
ment commanders reviewed their own
departments, and, reaching First and
Market, every post, battalion or di-
vision was dismissed.
FRUSTRATED BY HEAT.
Quite number of the veterans be-
' came exhausted and had to retire
from the ranks. Six were prostrated
by the heat, but none are considered
In a serious state. The first men to
be overcome were four members of the
famous Columbia post of Chicago.
They were H. W. Martin, O. Bascom,
S. P. Walters and John Carver. Just
as the post, which was in the first di-
vision, passed Fourth and Green
streets the men faltered, and in rapid
succession broke down. They were all
caught before they fell and taken to a
barber shop, where several of the am
bulance corps went to work on the
semi-conscious men and soon brought
them around. They were then sent to
their hotels. William Toomer, of Mil
1gan, ILL.,, and J. P. O'Neill of the SOL
diers' home at Dayton, were also pros
trated and cared for by the hospital
corps. The horse of Capt. John Av-
cry, of New York, slipped and fell,
throwing the captain to the gravel
pavement. He lay apparently uncon-
scious, but as soon as he revived he
remounted and fell into line. Gen.
Lawler estimated the number of vet
Grams in line at $4,000. This makes the
Louisville parade the greatest for five
years.
