| Yesterdays Tribune says in the
notes about the big coming event: The
committee on distribution of tickets has
! it's hands full just now. Applications
for seats on the official stands are COM
ing in at the rate of thousand mail,
and in their own defense the members
have found it necessary to issue a
! statement of their position. No more
! than two tickets will be issued to any
one person. No ticket will be issued to
| any person until his or her application
| has been referred to the full committee.
Some of the applications are made on
curious grounds. One man who had a
cousin killed in the explosion of the
Maine thinks he is therefore entitled
to four seats on the reviewing stand
Another man who was at school with
Admiral Dewey believes that it will
please the admiral if his family of five
Is accommodated at the city expense.
All the letters have been filed and each
one will be considered when the COM
mittee meets next Wednesday.
The indication are that no matter
what may be the paucity of official
seats there will be no lack of seats to
sell From Grants tomb to Seventy
second street along Riverside drive
there will be lots of space on the park
lands for sighteeers who do not care to
pay for seats Along the rest of the
route every vacant lot will hold a
more or less highly priced stand, and
every vacant house will find place
for those who wish to see the parade
and are willing to pay for the privilege.
Extraordinary stories are told of the
prices spectators have paid for stand
privileges. AS much as $4,000, it was
said, was paid for the window priv
ileges of four story house in Fifth
avenue, and it is beyond question that
500 was paid for the use of a bay
window facing Central Park West.
AS at present arranged the land pa
rade will start from Grants tomb as
soon as the mayors breakfast at Clare
mont is finished. The guests at the
breakfast will not exceed 200, and will
probably be fewer in number. Besides
the admiral and the mayor there will
be the chairmen of the different COM
mittees Of the reception committee, the
visiting governors some of the officers
of the Olympia. Admiral Sampson and
others of the city's invited guests.
Admiral Dewey will lead the parade
in an open landau drawn by four
horses. Mayor Van Wyck will sit
with him. Behind him in carriages
will come the visiting governors and
the reception committee of the mayors
committee. Then will come the Ma
tiona Guard of the state following the
sailors of the Olympia led by Sousa' $
band. The visiting troops win be next
then the Grand Army, followed by the
Confederate Veterans, and bringing up
the rear will be the veterans of the |
Spanish American war. General Rose |
estimates that there will be thirty four |
thousand men in line, and that the |
marching sodiery will take, If all goes !
well, nearly seven hours to pass the |
reviewing stand.
ACCEPT THE INVI- |
TATION
1t is now expected that thirty-one |
governors will take part in the cere-
monies. AS to the coming jam the pa
monies. per says: In the case of the
New Haven and New York Central
which land passengers in
the Grand Central station, there Is
likely to be some trouble in handling
the people, owing to the comparatively
small size of the waiting rooms With
the incoming crowds this will not make
so much difference, as the people win
simply pass out but with the outgoing
crowds there are likely to be blockades
and jams that will sorey tax the rail
road employees to straighten and then
again, as one of the prominent officials
said recently, in all crowds everyone
wonts to get home by the first train,
and they all make a rush for that par
ocular train. This popularity of
,rowds Is likely to prove troublesome
% the railroads
The summer season for the boats
up and down the Hudson river
s practically closed, and Dewey visi-
.OIS can lake duNdutHBe OIL the IulI ca I
oacity of these boats. The same rule !
will also apply to the sound boats, the
fall River line, the New London, the
and the New Haven lines,
md great numbers Of people will come |
n this way, and every possible means ,
# getting to the city will undoubtedly
,e taxed to its fullest capacity.
A still greater trouble than that of /
:etting the people here will be in
housing and feeding them. In this
eeniue suggested the idea !
f a broad strap to fit under the arms, /
With hook at its end by which people | ,
ould be hung up in cold storage houses
n rows for the night. 1t begins to
1ok to many experienced landlords as 3
hough some scheme of wholesale hous- ,
lg would have to be evolved. or else
undreds of people will have to tramp I
he streets all night. ,
