much work is yet TO be done. Ell
fort are being made. a member oil
the committee said to-day, to have
as large and if not a larger parade
than the neighbor city, Harrisburg.
1t is expected that more than 1000
musicians will be in line. Every
available band in a radius of
fifty miles around Harrisburg
has been engaged, commit
tee members assert. The Spring
garden Band and the York City
Band, two of the largest musical or
ganiZations in York have been OBJ
tanned.
At a meeting of the fire compan-
les of the department last night II

in parading. The PaXtang Hook and
Ladder Company last night decided
to secure the York City Band to
furnish music in the parade.
Members of the local Post Office
