Feature of the Celebration.
The chief event of the twenty-ninth Na
tional Encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic at Louisville, Ey., was the
parade. Along miles of streets decorated
with bunting and amid hundreds of thou
sands of cheering citizens the Union veterans
marched in the first National assembly of the
organization on Southern soil.
Under a proclamation of the Mayor, the
streets where the divisions formed, and the
entire line of march were cleared, while the
Louisville Legion, the Cadets, and Kentucky
National Guard patrolled the " streets. :
Mounted police cleared the way
followed by a large detachment of
police on foot. The parade was headed,
some distance in front of the first grand
division, by two ex-Confederates on horse
back, Captain John H. Weller and Captain
William H. Harrison, in citizens' dress, with
red, white and blue sashes. Captain Welle
carried a large National flag and Captain
Harrison a white banner representing peace.
In the place of the eagle on the top of the
staff, the white banner had a dove and an '
olive branch. !
In the escort to the Grand Army of the
Republic were committees of citizens preced
ing carriages containing the Governor of
Kentucky and his staff, and the Mayors of
Louisville. New Albany and Jeffersonville.
Columbia Post, of Chicago, acted as Grand
Army escort to Commander-in-Chief General
Thomas W. Lawler and staff. The veterans
followed in ten grand divisions, distin
guished by flags of special colors and con
taining departments from the various States,
New York and , Ohio being in the second.
Among the features of the parade was Old
Ned, the war-horse, now over forty years
old. has heretofore walked, but is now so
feeble that he rode on a float.
The thermometer stood at nlnety-eix de
grees, but this fact did not affect the enthus
iasm of the spectators. The multitudes on
the platforms and along the streets kept
cheering as the poats of the different depart
ments passed the stands. The right of col
umn passed the reviewing stand in front of
the Court House at 11 a. m. When the
right of the column reached Fifth and Jef
ferson streets a halt was made; the whole of.
.the escort wheeled into lim, facing
south, and allowed the Commander-in-Chief
and his staff and the invited guests
In carriages to pass by and take the seats on
the reviewing stand, when the whole col
umn passed in review. On the corner of
Third and Market streets,on the south of Mar
ket, and on Third street, the department
commanders reviewed their own depart
ments. ' ,
The New York, Pennsylvania, Massa
chusetts and Illinois veterans got the
major share of the hurrahs. The column
moved slowly, and occupied over four hours
in passing the reviewing stand. Estimates
place the number of men in line at 50,000.;
A number of the veterans became exhaust
ed' and had to retire from the ranks. Six
were so prostrated by the heat that they
were taken in ambulances to the hospital.

A BLIND yACHT DESIGNER.
, ;
Although Sightless, John B. Herreshoff
Works Upon' the Blodels of Vessels.
i
Mr. JohnB. Herreschoff, senior member
of the firm of Herreschoff Brothers, of Bris
tol, R. L, designers of the Defender, was
born with the full use of both eyes. From
the time he was old enough to know the use
of a jackknifehe began whittling out boata.
In his fifteenth year he built a good-sized
craft for sailing on the bay. Then he lost
his sight. A film gradually came over his
eyes, and finally shut off forever the last dim
glimpse of Bristol and her boats. But he
went on building just the same not, of
course, as if nothing had happened, for hia
methods of perception had to be radically
changed. Instead of studying the grace and'
strength of lines by the eye, the matter be
came to Herreshoff at once a more abstract
study a mental calculation. He had the
task before him of carrying in his mind the
models he worked upon. Theobjectsjhe had
seen in the first fifteen years of his life he
could summon up into hfs mind again. His
sense of touch also developed to a wonder
ful sensitiveness.! All the models of vessels
to be built in the manufactory are submitted
to him. His brother Nat invariably has a
tiny model made on the lines to be pursued
in the construction of a new craft, and this
model i3 given to the elder brother. If the
work is of great importance like the build
ing of a cup defender the elder Herreshoff
sometimes sits for days rubbing his hands
lightly over the j model, thus getting a per-
ieci mciure OI tne lins or the tnt In hl
mind. Many changes suggest themselves to
him, and he works them out with matho-,
matical precision. In short, he seems to
have converted his misfortune into a posi
tive advantage j '
