A Fine Parade in the Forenoon Despite the Torrid Heat-The Exercises on the Old Green in the Afternoon-The Early Forenoon McetinS-The Afternoon Patriotic Exercises Fireworks Postponed Untn Tonight. The bright skies and warm weather yesterday morning brought every one out in their best and lightest. By s o'clock the streets leading to the green were filled with people going to see the parade The various companies and societies were astir in their quarters preparing for the parade, and by g o'clock most of them were in the posi- lions previously assigned to them. The marshals, acting with energy and dispatch, were successful in starting the parade a few minutes after nine. The line of march which had been an nounced was followed throughout. Al most every house and store along the streets through which the parade pass ed was decorated with flags and bunt- Ing of the national colors. Everything and every one was gay and bright. Everybody felt that there was some reason for rejoicing, and they proposed to enjoy the day to the fullest. The heat was intense even between nine and to,, los aF s,l,o o1o 1,a line of march was crowded with people trying to see and to keep cool at the same time.
 The parade was divided into three di- visions, the first being composed of the militia companies of the city. The sec pnd division was made up of the Sons of Veterans, few U. V. us and DOT ton of the Boys brigade. The third was composed of the friendly societies and associations. The Second regiment, Old Guard and Nicolaris bands headed the first, second and third divisions re- spectively. A number of drum corps and a corps of Scottish bagpipers help ed to furnish the music. The G. A. R. posts did not march. It was well that they did not, for most of them are too old to stand the long march under such sun as there was yesterday.
 A large reviewing stand had been erected in front of the city hall and Mayor Farnsworth, together with a number of city officials, reviewed the parade at this point. By the time the men had reached Orange street they were quite thirsty and during short halt there they were refreshed by the cool water which the residents kindly supplied.
 A drum corps in the costume of '76 a band of Indians and the new annex fire department in new suits formed the features of the parade. The return te the green and the disbanding was made at il o'clock.
