parade in honor of the champion Ath-

be a monster affair and Brigadier

fifteen minutes in advance of the par
ade and there will be over 4OC
machines in line.
The original route of the parade has
been changed and it will be confined
TO Broad street, between Montgomery
avenue and Wolf street. General
Price has announced the formation
of the line of parade and orders as
follows: The parade will be divided
into four divisions, moving promptly
on the hour of o'clock The first
division will consist of the military
and semi-military organizations, and

the lads will taxa meat and sweet
potatoes with them and will stop iu
the woods enroute and roast the meat
on sticks over bonfire and bake the
potatoes in the ashes. Their appe-
tites, stimulated by the long walks in

stantial increase during the past
month. when a large number of men,
