The Republican club of the city
OF New York has chartered the big

The harbor will be policed by cut

speedy police craft.
The land parade will be spectac-
ular in the extreme, although the
marching will be confined to the
mounted police, the police band, the
Roosevelt Rough Riders escorting
Mr.. Roosevelt, and the reception
committee in carriages. The demon

instead of marching the various or
ganizations will be lined up along
Fifth Avenue from Sth Street north
TO 59th. Each organization will have
a band and may throw an arch
across the street. In reality the pa
raiders will review Mr.. Roosevelt,
instead OF Mr.. Roosevelt reviewing
them. All along the line decorations
will be thrown to the breeze until
the route will be an enormous rib
bon of red, white and blue, extend

terry.
