4 VERITABLE DOWNPOUR.
The decision TO postpone the parade was
reached at a meeting Of the Executive
Committee al New Ford yesterday
morning. and was. Of course. due TO the
rain which had begun falling about mid
night Chairman and Chief Marshal Ira
vers called n meeting OF the committee
for the purpose Of making the postporr-
rent. The proposition met with no 0ppo
sifion Those VINO had floats ready 20
enter the parade did not wish them taken
INFO the drenchlug rain. and were quite
willing 20 await the fair weather prom
ised for to-day
The exhibitors the committee. and the
public were deeply disappointed that the
weather conditions We're not such as %
admit OF having the parade The crowd
in the city was very large one. though
naturally the rain preS ented many from
Coming. II Is believed the CROWD to-day
VIII be as large as 1t would have been
yesterday.
But few 81 The floats were brought
out. the drenching rain making 1t evident
that bunting and flags could not hold
their own In "a contest with the elements.
Resides. many Of the exhibits are very
valuable ones They viii all be out to-
day.
THE NAVAL VOLUNTEERS.
The parade will not be reviewed by
President Mckinley to-day as il would
have been had il moved yesterday. but
IL will have scee features Il could not
have had yesterday. one o. these Is the
lhree divisions Of Virginia Naval NOlun-
.cers. which arrived from Norfolk at .
o'clock yesterday afternoon on the gov
eminent dispatch-boat the Siren. having
been delayed by the rough weather.
These Virginia tackles. seventy strong.
will be IN the parade.
II Is hoped the skies will be clear to
day; that the thousands Of yards Of hunt
ing with which the buildings along the
line Of the parade are decorated will be
dried out, and that the hundreds Of na-
tlonal emblems which chung so dreariy
20 their STATS yesterday will futter to-
day in a stin. November breeze, and.
above all in a dry one.
