nent park here for the erection OF
the stand for the literary exercises OF
the dny. Therefore, the vast throng
likely to be in attendance will gather
within the grounds surrounding tho

ed to the purpose. This will be a
great Improvement over the grounds of

Nelson house, and poorly adapted
for the gathering of a large crowd.
The stand to be erected will face the
southeast. and will have seating
capacity for two hundred persons. 1t
will be uniquely decorated with Wild
flowers and fall grass and plumes,
with sufficient of the national and
French colors to make 1t attractive.
Orders have already been issued from
the War Department at Washington to
have the Coast Artillery stationed at
Fortress Monroe, along with the Post
Band to report at yorktown and take
part in the anniversary parade, which
will be a great feature OF the day.
The Navy Department had promised
vessels of several types, and the sailors
and marines will come ashore to take
part In the parade.
An attractive feature of the parade
will be the division of school children
OF York and adjoining counties. which
will be under the marshalship of Divi-
| sion superintendent of Public Schools
| j S. Eastrnent, who evinces great In
| terest in this part of the celebration.
He thinks it is in the line Of good
education, and Will encourage botn
!. children and teachers to participate
! Each child will be given an American
! and French flag to carry. and thir-
teen little boys and girls selected to
| carry the State banners. This was an
| interesting part of the celebration Lass
year, and was highly commended by
| ali who witnessed the parade of the
4 boys and SlElS, uedacu W a" SsSo'
of the Maryland Naval Reserve ane
the Coast Artillery Band.
Another interesting part Of the civic
parade will be the Yorktown Caval'
| cade, in command of Captain william
/ j. Stores. This was also feature o.
Il last year but it Is the purpose OF th'
captain and his able lieutenants Z,

Il sible, and he will therefore add SOM

4 hundred and fifty riders will probaol!
