sleep in the boat and the boys diverted them selves to their hearts, content, leav- tend to make the trip lively and noisy by the methods familiar to old soldiers. They were served with capital breakfast on the boat, which fortified them for the long and fatigu- ing march in the rain before them. They | were landed at 23d street at about half-past seven o'clock, and then marched about l mile and half to 52d street, where they re- 1 mained for about an hour and half in the drizzIe with the rest of the procession, which 1 would not move until the President. who also | had been detained, could arrive. The route l of march was down Fifth avenue to Four 1 teenth street, to Broadway to Bowling Green. The line moved at about 8 Quarter-past | ten, and it was about two o'clock when they
 had performed their part of the parade and were at liberty. They were pretty we'll l drenched long before the parade was over. and were glad of.their freedom. Later on 1 they were dined by the New York committee
 and given many other Inequalities in the evening.
 The veteran Grays appeared in line to much advantage, parading with the spirit Of 1 their younger days when actives. They with l their friends, the veterans of the Hartford 1 City Guard and the active City Guard, the
 Providence and Newport militiamen, were guests of the Seventh regiment, and on their arrival on their special train at about Q m. 1 yesterday morning were escorted to break fast which was served in the Madison Square Garden, and they were then escorted into line.
 The Fifth battalion of colored troops from Connecticut deserve hearty praise for their good appearance and excellent marching.

 Wellman, Signal Officer Jackson
 The staff obtained their horses at Dolman's
 in New York, and had 8 lively time, as the l horses had never been ''under fre," so to speak, and appeared to have been struck ! with wonder and astonishment at the sight of trains passing over them on the elevated | railroads, at such times manifesting the in | tention of quitting the parade and leaving l their riders unhorsed. There was one horse which made dash at ashow window and caus- ! ed great scattering of the people lining the 1 walk. Nobody was hurt and on the whole | the horses enlivened the parade. l GOVERNOR WALLER-GovERNoR BEN BUTLER OTHER GOVERNORS. 1 While waiting for the arrival of President ! | ernors took place at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The first to arrive was the young Governor | of Connecticut, whose civilian attire was in striking contrast with the handsome uniforms of his adjutant general and staff.

Governor Butler of Massa- 1 chusetts cana next. He was in 8 brilliant l uniform and wearing @ broad gold lace sash l and was heartily welcomed by his brother ! governors. He indulged himself in smoking fragrant cigar and looked at home. Gov ernor Butler was cheered when in the pro- cession, and received vast deal of attention from the people. Everybody seemed to know it was General Butler when his car I riage came along, and ''There's Butler !" l ''How are you, Ben," and There's old Ben," were heard on all sides. Nobody seemed to be at loss to identify Butler, and ! he seemed pleased to gst so much attention. But to return to the governors assembling in | the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
