On every street corner and vacant lot rose tisjr after tier of human faces, and as the veterans passed cheer after cheer greeted them. Every window along the route, the Are escapes and roof tops were crowded, while the sidewalks were packed solidly from the building line to the wire rope stretched along the curb to prevent inMterfarence with the free movement of Tithe parade of the Grand Army of the

Republic.

At 10:80 o'clock the parade started from the historic Monongahcla house, on the banks of the river from which it takes its name. First came company A. second battalion naval reserves, N. U.

other cities, they had never seen decorations on sucli a generous and general scale. Hardly a dwelling, no matter how poor or how far from the route of parade, but at least had a flag, and usually a displa3’ of bunting as well, While the business houses in every part of the cities made a gorgeous

showing.

It. is impossible to form any accurate estimation of the spectators. Every available inch along the route as packed, every side street was jammed full of people for a hundred yards, and the housetops for blocks away were hidden by masses of enthusiastic applauders. A rough estimate is that between 500,000 and 000,000 people saw the parade. May Uc the Last Parade. This was probably the last time the veterans will turn out in snch force, us it is seriously contemplated by the grand army officials, in view of tlie advancing age and infirmities of the members, to abandon this most attractive feature of the national encampment. Therefore they proposed to make the last parade a success, and tramped over the two miles of route with the same determination that characterized them when they marched against the southern armies. The arrangements for the comfort of the marchers were excellent. At short distances apart were stationed emergency hospitals, with the red cross llut^ tering before the door, while all along the route were men with cool water and lemonade for the veterans.
