4 CHANGE IN THE ROUTE.
THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE WILL PASS
THE GRANT sTATTE-sAII,ORS AND
MARINES TO MARCH

There Will be a new departure In the route OF the
Memorial Day parade this year. Ever since the
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch was erected
that has been the objective point OF the parades.
which. after coming down Lafayette-ave. from
Bedford have reached the arch by way OF Wash
ington and Underhnl aves. Now there is
point OF special interest all who take part In the
parade-nameiy the equestrian statue OF General
Grant In front OF the Union League Club house
on this account the parade will continue along
Bedford-ave until that point Is passed. and then.
as the easiest way OF reaching the arch, the re-
mainder OF the route will be up the Bedford Hill
and down the Eastern Parkway 10 the Park Plaza,
where the arch stands. Probably after the compile
ton OF the asphalt pavement on ST. Marks-ave
that street Will be selected the easiest route 10
the Park.
At the time OF the dedication OF the Grant statue.
on April rs. or just before 1t. large stand was
erected on some vacant lots on the west side OF
Redford-ave opposite the Union League Club. II
was a private enterprise. That the stand was not
removed after the ceremonies that called 1t into
being has awakened some comment from people
passing through the avenue. The reason why is
now apparent The found on Grant Day
that he had a good thing. and he determined TO
push II along" a few days ago large piece or
muslin was stretched In front OF this stand con-
veying the announcement to all observers that
Seats for the Memorial Day parade could be had
for & cents and that reserved seats would cost 90
cents II to morrow is a good day there Is little
doubt that he will take In large sum. and possi-
bly, the stand will be maintained for similar func-
tions until II Is decided TO erect building on the
lots where II is situated.
