Annual Parade Tomorrow. Cincinnati, Sept. 0.—The thirty-sec ond annual encampment of the Grand Army of the 'Republic h> a sucooss so far as attendance is concerned, even for these national events which are phe- nominal for crowds. Opening day, yes terday, surpassed expectations as well as Sunday, on the arrivals, but before the 21 guns were fired at sunrise today at Camp Slferman the deitote were crowded wkh more arrivals. The postu arrived m bodies ^ today and were escorted to their quarters by local posts. The special trains arrived faster than they could be handled by the terminals m the early hours and the'ru'ffi'coritiiiuw so that later trains were stopped at Camp Sherman an(f other suburban points where street c ars and other trans portation had been provided. There is a capacity of Ip.OOO in the tents at Camp Sherman aim it is as well filled as the smaller camps, but the conmrittee on quarters has unlimited quarters yet in residences and other places. The decorations are unusually elaborate, the dectnc right detains in the pubfic squares add at street ^inter sections surpassing even the 'fiofcst t ructures of expositions, and tho enter tainment is equally lavish. This was naval day and tomorrow is army day, to be followed on Thursday by the peace jubilee. The National Naval as sociation gave a grand parade this morning. Tomorrow morning the G. A. R. men give their annual parade and on Thursday the civic and inuuStinul parade occurs. After their parade today the naval veterans were entertained on steam boats and they captured Coney Island. The features of toe day were the regi mental brigade and other reunions, at which the old comrades got closer to gether than on any other occa^ums. There were demonstrations amd the ar rival of several of the staff department commuiulers and governors and their staffs. The citizens also toudered re ceptions to Commander in Chief Uobin, Rear Admiral Kelley, Mrs. S. J. Mar tin, president of the W. R. C.; Mrs. Flora M. Davey, president of the Ladies of the G. A. R.; Mrs. Jennie Laird, president of the Nathmal Association of the Ijadies of tho NutuI Veteran*), and otners. The parade required an hour or marc to pass a given point and was every where watched by crowds of deeply in* t ere .-ted spectators. The dramatic ef fect of the ur-fangemeat of the division was the occasion fnf nigeh -comment. First in honor came the veterans of the civil w.ar—the men who manned the vessels in our unique navy and the thinner ranks of the ex-pmoners of that war. The spectators could sot fail lo be impressed with a sad feeling {hat they were looking upon a body of men whose days of inarching mast soon end. Tottering limbs were bearing sturdy hearts fuller than ever with love for the flag whose glory hod been mag nified by their deeds, but it was pain- fully apparent that their ranks were thinning and that their deeds were soon to be only memories. The contest for commander-in-ebief has become much more complicated by the arrival of a large delegation from New York, headed by Corporal Tanner in support of Colonel John C. Shotts of Yonkers. This not only divides the vote of the department of New York against Colonel A. D. Shaw of Watertown, N. Y., but it also divides the vote of other •astern departments that were espectdfi to be solid for Shaw. A letter was received today from President McKinley stating that public business would prevent him and Mrs. McKinley from attending the encamp ment this week. The weather has been very peasant t&dav, after the rains'of last night, and still cooler weather is in the predictions for this locality tomor- sow, when the big parade takes place.
