PH1NNEy's BAND.
There was some doubt whether Phinney
and his band could be out in the paraoe.
Their instruments are heavy and other
things would operate to keep them away.
the pleasure of Colonel Hawes it
was learned that the strong prob
ability is tina: the noted banG
will participate Colonel Halves believes
that the Military Day this year Will be an
event long TO be remembered. ne
crowd is expected to be great one ana
the whole affair promises to he huge
success. Last year there was consloera-
BILE confusion from the fact that some
of the street-cars forced their way
through the parade and the crowd ana
necessitated halt and a break in the
line Colonel Iawes has directed ietters
to the street railway companies and is
encouraged to believe that such an oc-
currence will not be noted this year.
