Frostburg's Greatest Event.
TIE PARADE.
The JOURNAL S report last week closed
with a brief reference to the premier
event of the great Occaslon-the parade.
More than the most sanguine expecta-
lions was realized in number, diversity
of features, and extent.
Formed on south Broadway, it ira
versed every important street, rouslng
cheers of popular appreciation greeting
it along the line About q miles III
length, it was nearly an hour passing
any point. There was no delay III for
nation, start, or en- route, and the finish
after miles of march was reached i'll
style and number equal to the beginning.
Nearly all the companies marched like
organizations of drilled soldiers, and
many difficult evolutions along the line
attested the care with which they had
prepared for the occasion. Several com
panies with wheeled apparatus eX-
hibited great taste i'll decoration of their
machines. Two Interesting features
were given in companies of Juniors =
one of 30 from Cumberland all i'll white,
drawing a hOse-cart; the other OF d
FrOstburg boys armed with red-whlte-
and blue canes. Led by Lawrence ii.
Rank. drummer, and commanded by +.
H. Prichard and Joseph w. Smith,
drillmasters, the latter made fine
showing.
At frequent intervals bands of music
and drum corps furnished stirring
"time" for both "step' and evolution.

assisted by
