The order of parade and the line of

tains of the cycle clubs last night at the
knights of Pythias hall. The order of
parade will be as follows:

Cleveland Club.
Dayton Club.
Grotesques. "a
Police. lN\
Band.
Unattached riders.
Local Hit riders.
The police in the parade will be mounted
on wheels, and are to be interspersed
along the line, as indicated for the better
maintenance of order and to keep back
the spectators from the roadway. There
will be three bands. The chief marshal,
Prof. w. H. Lyons, will head the parade
with his aides The cycle clubs will ride
in the parade in the order of their organl-
cations, this plan being agreed upon as
the most likely to prevent any possible i'll
feeling on the score of precedence.
The "grotesque" riders, together with
the local HIT riders, will furnish the
amusement for the spectators. They will
ride in the places in the parade indicated
in the order, and will be gotten up in all
manner of fanciful costumes calculated to
excite a laugh.
The incentive of the prizes offered will
doubtless produce some striking get ups.
In the places indicated in the order for'the
''grotesque'' and local HIT riders, it is
meant that those going into the parade in
costumes, who are not members of clubs,
shall ride. Among the clubs will ride the
members trying for those prizes for gro
tesqueness and local hits. There will be
a number of floats in the parade also, and
these will bring up the rear the place of
interest being reserved for them.
The line of march as adopted is as fol-
lows: Assemble at the park extension;
take up the route down the Drayton
street side; turn west at CASTOR to Bull;
down Bull to Jones; on Jones to East
Broad, turn and back to Bull; down Bull
to Liberty; down Liberty to East Broad,
turn and back to Bull; Bull to Oglethorpe
avenue; down Oglethorpe avenue to Hab-
ersham, turn and back to Bull; Bull to
Broughton; Broughton to Drayton $Dray-
ton to st. Julian; st. Julian to Bull;

to Jefferson; Jefferson to Broughton;
Broughton to Bull; Bull to Oglethorpe
avenue; Oglethorpe avenue to Jefferson;
Jefferson to Liberty; Liberty to Bull; Bull
to Jones; Jones to jefferson; Jefferson to
CASTOR; and CASTOR back to the park.
This route is almost a complete traverse
of all the principal paved streets, and was
provement on that taken by the last pa
rade. 1t was further decided that along
the route Greek fire and colored lights
should be burned during the progress of
the parade. The captains chose a third
judge for the award of the prizes, of
which there are thirty-six
Mr.. T. S. Wylly was
chosen. The judges are now Mr.. P. A.
Stovall, MIR. S. e. Theus and Mr. T. S.
