fierce, dark face of Logan: some of the vet
Grams wave their hats and call out at him. He
smiles and takes off his hat to them. Why
does that red-faced fellow suddenly leave his
place in the ranks. He has no fear that his
captain will put him in the guard house. He
has seen Logan. He was with him at Belmont
when the swarthy-faced warrior was Colonel of
the Thirty-first Illinois regiment. and where
he had a horse shot from under him. Who
will stop him from grasping the Generals
handf The reviewing officer is glad to see
him, and when the veteran regains his place
in the line he proposes three cheers for Logan,
and they given with a heartiness that
makes the air ring. This is but a representa-
tive incident of the hundreds that happened
during the three-quarter's Of an hour that the
parade occupied in passing the St James hotel.
II was forty-tive minutes OF cheering, oi nut

Of drums and the whistle OF tifes. Naturally,
Logan was the hero of the day. Perhaps any
other man would have been, but not every one
could have borne the honors gracefully as
he did
4 sUR0ISG CROWD.
Though every sidewalk on the route of the
parade, from the camp to Fourteenth street,
was lined with spectators, vet the great point
of attraction was in front Of the st. James ho-
tel. where General Logan reviewed the militia
men and veterans. Every window in the Cur
It's street side of the Opera house was filed
with eager ou-lookers. The balconies of the
ST. James fairly groaned under their weight.
In the second tier there were Senator Hill and
his family, and the family Of Governor Grant
With them was Miss Kate Field, attired in a
tighi-fitiing dress of white flannel. Platforms
had been erected in the wide entrances to the
stores in the Opera House block, and they
were crowded with ladies and children. When
the parade had passed, Curtis street became
one mass of moving people, and one WAS at
loss To understand where they had come from.
BREAKING THE RANKS.
II was with a noticeable feeling Of gladness

they had been making forced march. but

/ went along Larner street handkerchiefs were
waved and cheers given al every store. Every
available space from which good view OF the
procession could he obtained iammed
Wives strained their necks TO get a look at
their husbands about whose safety they had
often spent many anxious days during the war.
At last the Windsor Hotel was reached. 1t
had been arranged that at this point the differ
ent posts should dishsnd. A halt was ordered,
and at the order Of their commanders many of
the veterans broke ranks and sought shelter
from the warm rays OF the sun. some OF the
posts did not care to dishand and marched
round TO Lawrence street, where the were put
through some maneuycrs which were witness

caring TO dispcrsc IN the cru.h on Larimcr
street, marched to their several headquarters,
where they made haste in getting to the dinner
table. Notwithstanding their exhausted cnndi-
tion they expressed qualification at the manner

along the streets. None OF the posts marched

THE Ft.AMREAU CLCp.
The Topeka Flambcsu Club last night gave
the citizens of Denver the grandcst display TO
which they have ever been treated II is esti-
mated hy good Judges that not less than TWEEN
~ thousand people witnessed the display. For
nearly, II NOT quite an hour, the club marched
and counter-marchcd. all the time each man
sending forth Roman candles, skyrocNcts. and
| other pvrutechniC novelties, till the air WAS
one brilliant blaze Of many colorcd lights 1t
was sight once seen will never be forgotten,
and ordinary language IS quite inadequate to
properly describe It. In short, II was such a
| display never seen here before. and II
will probably be many years before its like will
! he seen again. As faint idea OF the gor-
gcousncss of the scene Il estimated by
one who IS familiar with former displays of
this club, that the expense Of last nights dis
play moi less than S2,hn.
