THE GRAND PARADE.
At sunrise the only clouds were from the
salute of forty guns and the weather even
was for peace. The departments began
forming at an early hour under the special
orders to have the procession move

of the ten grand divisions to move. Under
a proclamation of the Mayor the streets
where the divisions formed and the entire
line of march were cleared of everything,
while the Louisville Legion, the Cadets and
Kentucky National Guard patrolled the
streets and there was no delay. Mounted
police first cleared the way, followed by
| a large detachment. The parade was headed,
some distance in front of the first grand
division, by two distinguished ex-Confed-
crates on horseback-Capt. John II. Weller
and Capt VIM. II. Harrison. They did not
wear the grey. but were dressed in black

white and blue sashes, the same as MEM
bers of the citizens committee. They also
wore red, white and blue scarfs and ro-
settles. Captain Weller carried a very
large flag and the stars and stripes were
proudly borne by him. Captain Harrison
carried very large white banner of peace

respect except in the colors. one being all
pure white. In place of the eagle on the

held a white dove carrying an olive
