III. hour Of the parade was set for
10 o'clock a. M, and from early dawn
EVERYBODY and everything was astlr at
the various hsadquartsrs of the different
commanderies preparing for the march.
In the yards Of the railroad dspots and
IN. hotel, all was life and hustle and
soon the first troupe Of plumed knights
dressed in the full regaIIa OF their vari-
GU, positions in the orde= appeared on
the street Here the band was waiting
upop them, ana now the march to the
"reudeEvous'' began. At 8 O'Clock all
dOVu.town streets were fllsa with dif-
ter.nt detachmsnts of the paraders. and
as each had 4ts own 0and Of music, the
martial airs that now oesar % reno
the air with . medley Of marches ana
patriotic songs was well calculated to
inspire the greatest enthusiasm.
In the meantims the puints OF van
tnge along the route Of me parade were
rapidly being hlled up Seats had been
erected ell along the line OF march 20
accommodate 100000 people ana the
anxiety that was dlspiayed by the sight-
Gsers to get possession OF these coveted
points Of observation LED to indescrioa7
bic scenes Of entoyabie ana sometimes
amusing controversies between the
wOuld.bs purchasers and the vsnders OF
these seats. Long before the parade
began to move, however, all these seats
were occupied, and in fact every avail
able foot Of space along the line OF
march was fillsd with men, woman ana
chllrdrsn, while windowS and even roofs
were also sWarmet with anxious sight

Nh evtImated tIat the parade proper
waS made up Of upward Of 5000 uni
formed knights. moving along in car
riageO, on horse back or on foot, and
there were as least a million spectators
lined along the route Of the parade,
which WAS seven miles long.
The head of the parade formed at the
corner Of Cedar and North avenues,
Allegheny City, and at hali-past 0
O'Clock BriEadier-General ]. p. s. Goblin,
the grand marSnal OF the parade win
bis Stan Of mounted lieutenants and
aids, left his headquarters at the
HOnonEaheia Gnd accompanied by the
strains Of sousa's march, THE stars
and Stripes Forever" made his way
down Fifth avenue. Pittsburgh, across
the suspension bridge into Allegheny
City.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Seueral Goblin
gave the command and the great par
hde started.
Considering the wonderful success
which signallzed every feature Of to-
days parade, the abseuce Of President
Mckinley, General Wheeler, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and Governor Hast
inES was very much regretted, because
the presence OF these notableS would
have put the crown Of idealism upon
