parade of their own, and all Knights
were summoned to Market hall, on
Tenth street. A like conclusion was
reached. by other organizations. n
soon various commands were to be
seen marching through the rain to the
points assigned for the formation of
the column. Col. White and his
conferees held a second consultation,
and the result was a decision to re-
scind the former order and let the
men march.
Aids were at once dispatched with
this news to central points, the Reg
lister bulletined it, and there was an
immediate. evidence of satisfaction on
the part of tens of thousands of peo-
pie, who by that time lined the prin-
cipal streets in solid masses which
often occupied not only the sidewalks,
but the entire roadway as well. Off
GERS of commands at once began to get
their scattered men together, bands
were notified, aids OF the general and
division stats galloped here and there
with orders, and the formation of the
various divisions slowly began, al

these had very full ranks-others did
not do so well. Many entire organiza-
tions were missing, and staff officers
found themselves without commands
in some instances, or with but a hand
full of men in others, but the best was
made of the situation, the ranks were
closed up, and everything gotten in
readiness for the start, which was an
nounced for a quarter past two. At
two o'clock Col. White and his staff
were at the head of the column on
Twelfth street, between Market and
Chapline, with the column in shape,
but a long delay ensued owing to the
non-arrival Of the carriages contain
ing Admiral Dewey and the guests of
the committee. About half-past two
