line of march, and in the afternoon at
the grounds, have been made by the city
government and the committee Last
evening Mayor Glysson swore in another
large group of special civilian police to
aid in keeping the streets and grounds
well policed. In this Connection it should
be said that no revolvers of any calibre
or type will be permitted in use This is
an infexible rule and every officer is in
structed to see that it is obeyed.
