with flags n
From eight O'Clock in the morning uni
formed men, bands and drum and fife
corps have been ~parading through the
streets. AT Police Headquarters every
thing was hustle and excitement. Chief
Murphy had promised the paraders al es-
cort of mounted and foot police and he
kept his promise to an extent that de-
lighted the H3bernians. For the first
time in ANY years there were two par
AIDES. and as a consequence there has
been music in the air all day.
The reason was that the Hibernians
have been divided. 1t was at first
thought possible that there might be a
clash, out IN arranging the respective
lines of march. Chief Murphy took care
that the opposing organizations should
not come in contact.

America, which is composed of men who
have ceased paying allegiance to the
Board of Erin, the supreme body, which
is located in Ireland, formed, two hun
dred strong. at Grove and Fourth streets,

Holmes was Grand Marshal, and his aides
were James 7. Brennan and James
Amrock.
AT twelve O'Clock, with flags flying and
bands playing the line moved Down Grove
street to Newark avenue, to Montgomery
street, to the ferry. Crossing the river
to New York the parad-rs were met by
police and escorted to their place in the
line of the New York parade.
The second divisions of Hibernians,
which has remained loyal to the Board
OF Erin. formed at half-past eleven O'Clock
on Barrow street, with the right resting
on Newark avenue. The procession was
