under way. but the spectators would have

The central dry goods division had the
fourth place in the parade. William E.
Webb as marshal rode at the head OF the
procession.
Nowhere was the evidence of the ag
gravating failure of the demonstration"
more apparent than at the many and large
reviewing stands which had been erected
at great cost on the vantage points about
Madison Square. The stand Spectators

thousands of seats that had been provided,
and the few there only served to emphasize
the yawning emptiness.

the State by 150,00l. There is much loud

plentiful at the new figure.
