rade of Ak-Sar-Ben XIV and it will be
the most notable daylight parade ever
undertaken in the history Of this dynasty.

Its length would even exceed this but for

rade, who has worked with untlring zeal
| for weeks in conjunction with other mem
! bers of the Board of Governors. says that

! spectacular demonstrations ever at

lof 1200, comprising the famous Second
cavalry, the signal corps and the six

scores Of fraternal organizations, will be
