The Parade this Evening.

The Harvard battalion will be formed tonight at 7.15 on the Charles street side of the Boston Common, the right of the line resting on Beacon street.

Baldwin's Cadet Band will head the battalion and will be followed by the drum corps under command of K. Fairbanks '90. The uniforms of the drum corps. which will number at least eighty men, will consist of long white dress coats, trousers with one leg red, the other black, and tall hats.

The marshals are: from '89, Keyes, Darling and Storrow; from '90, Tilton, Slocum and Hutchinson, the latter in of Dexter, Resigned; from '91, Williams, Longstreth and Burnett; from '92. Kidder, Thompson and Cromwell. The marshals will parade mounted and will wear the crimson coats, black pantaloons and tall hats.

The classes will march in platoons of six without division into companies. Marshals have decided to allow no transparencies to be carried in the parade and to request the students not to indulge in any cheering except for Harvard It is intended in this way to carry out as far as possible the nonpartisan character of the parade.

After the formation has been completed, the battalion will march by way of Beacon and Arlington streets to its position in the third division of the procession, on the north side of Commonwealth avenue, the right resting on Dartmouth street. The procession is expected to start at 8.30, the signal being given by the firing of three guns on the common. The column will move from Boylston and Dartmouth streets, passing by the Brunswick, where the line will be reviewed by Governor Ames; thence through Berkeley street, Columbus avenue, Worcester to Washington streets to Adams square, at the foot of Cornhill where the chief marshal will review the procession and dismiss it.

The college battalion will not march to Cambridge, but will disband at the end of the route. It is expected that about 750 students will march in the battalion. including the members of the drum corps.
