AND MEN IN LINE OF MARCH
ALL ARRANGEMENT MADE.

The Industrial parade on Wednes-
da afternoon will be the biggest par
ade ever held in eastern Indiana. This
fact Is already assured. Up to Satur-
day noon, al business concerns OF
the city had definitely notified the in
dustrial committee that they would be
represented in the parade by one or
more wagons or floats. 1t is an as
sured fact that there will be 183 We
hicles in the parade, and between l.
500 and 1900 men.
Charles Commons, secretary of the
Industrial committee, states that he
estimates that the parade will be be-
tween so and so blocks in length. In
other words, he is of the opinion that
before the end of the parade passes
Eighth and Main streets the first di-
vision will be on it's return march past
the court house. This means that the
entire central portion of the city will
be entirely shut in by wall of march
Ing men and vehicles.
The line of march has not yet been
definitely decided upon, but If the trac-
ton company completes its work on
TT. Wayne avenue, and that thorough
fare is placed in proper repair by We'd
nesday, the line of march will be as
follows:
Starting at Third and Main streets,
east Of Main street to North Twen-
yieth street, north on North Twentieth
street to North e, thence west on
North Z street to TT. Wayne avenue,
west on FIT Wayne avenue to North
Seventh street, south on North Sew
cnth street to Main, and thence west
to the starting point.
1t is expected that there will be be-
tween 200 and 800 Cincinnati business
inen in the city on Wednesday, and
they, with the famous Smittie band of
that city, will participate in the par
ade.
About one-third of the vehicles in
the parade will be floats, depicting
various industrial scenes. All the
wagons will be beautifully decorated
land the scene will be gay one. The
various divisions of the parade will
form on South Fifth, Fourth and Third
streets. The column resting on Third
street will be the first to move, follow
ed in order by the divisions on South
Fourth and Fifth streets. Captain
Paul Comstock will act as grand mar
shall and he will be assisted by all the
members of the industrial committee.
