The parade will eclipse anything In
this line ever attempted by the asso-

more gorgeous and more numerous
than In previous years and some of

ithumpian section OF the parade.
Their ingenious minds have evolved
some costumes that will startle the
natives.
The entire northern section will be
decked out In flags and bunting In
honor of the occasion. The Light In
fantry band has been engaged for the
entire day and will provide music for
the parade In the morning and for
dancing and fireworks In the after
