services were held at the grounds of
the new cathedral. It was estimated

ton exceeded all expectations There
were probably 1900 more men in line
than last year due to the faot that q
number of new organizations were in
line. Nearly every society reported
that the entire stock of pennants and
canes, which each man carried. we're
sold out. Another feature of the af-
fair which attracted attention was the
absence of delay in the movement of
the great army Of men and the quick
time In which everything was done.
True TO his prediction given several
days ago, Grand Marshal John l..
OToole started the parade at exactly
2:So o'clock on the dot, from WASH
ington place and Broad street. UP
Broad street to Clark street went the
parade. Turning into Clark street the
line OF march was to Belleville avenue
to Bloomfield avenue to Park avenue
to the grounds. Only once the parade
was halted and that was as the lead
ers reached Park avenue. After that
everything went smoothly and the
men made record time TO the grounds,
It taking one hour and eighteen min
utes to pass given point.

parade. The society OF st. Josephs 8
