Flags for Marchers.
Good d-sized flags will be distributed
TO all marchers not in uniform just
before the parade starts.
Thru an error the statement was
made that the Shrine band would ap-
pear In the parade. This cannot be
done on account Of Masonic rules
The musicians union will be asked ia
donate the services of two bands al
its meeting this forenoon. 1t is thot
likely that II will gladly do its part
in making the affair ; success. as II
always does.
