A MILITARY PARADE.
Soldiers Will Have Prominent Part in
the Big Celebration.

The arrangements for the Fourth of July
celebration in this city are progressnE
more faVorablY than the most sanSuine
had hoped for and every indication is that

Ethan Allen Saturday and paid Colonel
Dimmick a visit. The mayor extended to
him on behalf of the city an invitation for
the troops 10 take part in the parade to
be held on the Fourth. He consented very
checrfully and in addition volunteered to
give dress parade, the location of which
viii be announced later. The dress parade
will be one of the pleasing features of the
day and will include the cavalry and ar
tillery. Such an exhibition will be new To
the larger part of the Burlington people
ana Will be entirely new to those who
have never visited military post. The
dress parade is one of the most picturesque
movements of the military and when both
cavalry and artillery take part its elfcc-
tVcncss is increased.
The procession will be reviewed from the
band stand in city hall park by the mayor,
aldermen and prominent citizens. ColUnc!
Dimmick has kindly consented to act as
marshal-n-chief, with General Peck ard
Colonel Booth as aids.
An invitation has been extended to the
