In Line Once More

Louisville, Sept. IS.- Yestorday at the 6. A. R. encampment was "the day we celébrate." There is no doubt about that. It has been the same at every encampment - the day of the parade was The day. The old soldiers, many of them grizzled and gray, travel hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of miles for the privilege of marching for an hour or so to the "musio of the Union." The f act that there was going to be- and was- a new feature in yesterday's parade, brought thousands to Louisville who would not otherwise have eome. That new feature was that exConfcderates would do a big portion of the cheoring of the lino as it marched. Procession Moved on Time. A feature that was not looked for but was a feature neverthcless, was that the procession started on time to the minute. The precession was headed by members of the Louisville Legión and the clvilian committees whieh have had charge of the arrangements, and immediately after these was Columbia Post, of Chicago, escorting Commander-in-ohief Lawler. When the white caps of the escorting Columbia Post loomed up the multitudes on the platforms and along the streets opened the chorus of cheers for Cammander Lawler and kopt up the cheering as the posts of the difterent departments passed the stands and street inter sections. Viewed by Half a Milllon Feople. The parade was witnessed by 500,000 people, who lined the sidewalks, windows and roofs along the line of march. In accordance wlth the resolution adopted last year by the council of adminlstration the route of march was limited to twenty-six squares, or a distance of two miles and a quarter, oomplaints having been made that the routes heretofore chosen wore too long for the veterans, who are yearly getting more feeble and Io3s able to stand a long march in the heat of the day. The early morning trains from interior points of the state, as well as from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, brought tens of thousands of spectators, and theso, added to the hundreds of thousands already in the city, made the central streets well-high impassable. Ampio pólice arragements, however, had been made, the roadway over which the parade was to pass had been roped off and altogether the arrangements for tho proper movenient of the parade were admirable.
