Alexandria Is all asiew with patriotic coll
ors in preparation for the great parade
Monday which is to commemorate in appro-
pirate fashion tho birth of the most dis
ting,lished citizen In its flistory-Gen. Wash
ington. A short while ago few Of the en-
terprisfng residents. most Of them young
men. got together and decided to revive In
Alexandria the old-time custom Of cels-
brating the natal day anniversary OF the
first President. At first their declared in
tention was looked upon with but seant
consideration by the general public, but
by persistins under difficulties they sue
ceeded in arousing enthusiasm, which
continued to increase until at present
the venture is an assured success. In
fact. no one here doubts that under IA
vorable weather conditions the parade will
be one OF the most splendid ever seen in
! this city throughout the one hundred and
hfty-odd years Of It's history.
The work remaining for the various COM
mittees between row and Monday is simply
to round out the preparations already
made. This morning an encouraging letter
was received frem Representative Rixey,
who has been constant in his efforts for the
success OF the occasion. stating. that two
companies OF marines instead Of one, as
was first expected. will be In line and that
there Will be forty pieces OF the Marins
Band present.
