There was parade of a colored social
organization in New York last evening that
IN way was ludicrous in the extreme.
The procession numbered less than half
hundred men. including the band. but there
were eight hundred policemen assigned to
the duty Of protecting them from violence
IN case their appearance should start an
other race riot. AT all the police stations
reserves were kept in readiness for instant
duty. and the route of march was lined with
men in uniforms. All of which only serves
TO call attention to remarkable state of
affairs now existing in the great metropolis.
