pate in the parade; and IL is not unlike
ly that other cantons from, outside Of
the city will be in the line. Pacific
lodge of New Bedford and several 9TH
er lodges not specially invited by local
bodies have also decided to come; and
II is probable that the encampment

Every band of any consequence I'm
this state has already been engaged:
and every canton, lodge and encamp-
ment coming from other states will al
so bring band, so that the music

Banda Napoli, which will appear in its
gorgeous new uniforms for the first
time in this parade, has written anoth-
er. entitled, "Slst Anniversary" in hon

OF march composition. In addition. N
