From Worth street to Bowling Green
every side street leading off Broadway
was flled with paraders, awaiting their
turn TO swing into the moving columns.
The arrangements We're made SO that each
organization might know about the hour
they were expected to join the parade,
and thus avoid long and tedious wait.
The time set for the last contingent to
fall in was seven p. NJ which made
about nine solid hours of ceaseless march,
ing past a given point. The route of the
parade was from Worth street up Broad
way TO Waverley place; then west to
b1ftn avenue, north to Thirty-first street.
east to Madison avenue: then north to
Ihirty-fourth street, to Fifth avenue and
up that street past the reviewing stand
70 Fortieth street, where the organiza-
tons were dismissed
The reviewing stand was on the east
side of Fifth avenue, extending north
from Twenty-fourth street to Twenty
sixth street street. On the opposite side
was was the big grand stand. seating nearly
1000 persons. Both stands were crowded
and surrounded all day by a dense mass
OF people. Thousands of women were
among the onlookers
one OF the most novel badges worn in
the parade was that of the Jewellers IT
consisted of gold eagle depending from
bar, upon which was engraved 'sAn
honest dollar From the eagles claws
hung an immense gold dollar (nade of
composition), bearing vignette of Nc
kinley and these words, mckinley for
PRESIDENT" The dollar was four inches

several large college delegations parad-
ed, and their vociferous yells constantly
rent the air and made things lively wher-
ever the young men happened to be.
Grand Marshal Porter remained in per-
sonar soma. command OF the parade during. the
day. Wires were run to the reviewing
stand, and by means of telephones the
alds sent in reports of the movements of
the divisions. In this way the Grand
Marshal kept himself fully informed as
to how the divisions were moving. and he
was also able to send his orders direct
me police arrangements were quite Der-
iect. The parade territory was divided
INTO three sections, and an inspector with
big force of patrolmen and mounted
police assigned to each section. Fifteen
pasrol wagons were placed at convenient
points, each wagon held ready for ambu-
case of accident
A novel and interesting feature Of fhe
oay was the flight of tailless kites from

sage of the parade these kites, which
were held captive by cables scared high
in the air, making a remarkable aerial
spectacle
The parade will continue all day and
possibly. well into the evening The
Mayor has requested all houses along
the line to light. up tonight in honor OF
sound money and a brilliant illumination
is looked for.
Probably there was never before a
time in this city when windows overlook
ing the route, followed by a parade, com
manded such high prices as have the
windows overlooking the route followed
by todays parade. Offers for windows
along Fifth avenue went as high yester-
day as $3.50. Two men, who had Invited
friends from out of town to witness the
parade, made these offers to persons
who had already secured certain windows
Both offers were refused Other offers
ranging from SIS to $780, were made and
IN lew cases We're they even considered.
The Bellevue medical students displayed
In the march a monster bottle in the
shape of banner, with this inscription
