Throughout the Northwest.
NEW York, May 1.-The town woke up
more sleepily Tuesday morning than IL did
Monday, and with good reason. It's in
habitants, permanent as well as temporary,
were tired, the latter even more SO than
the former. Still, the earliest streaks OF
dawn found many people in the streets,
and these indeed were fortunate for in all
the range of meteorological chance n moro
perfectly morning could scarcely have
been found. AS the morning wore along
the crowds IN the streets became even
created than they were Monday. The
hurry was even greater, for one and oil
saw the necessity of reaching points at the
earliest practical moment
The crush in the streets in the lower part
of the city was so great that IL was found
necessary TO start the parade somewhat
earlier than had been intended. This was
done in or1er that the line might be length
enea out and got in marching order, thus
relieving at once the pressure in the lower
wards and placing the head of the column
in such a position that when the President
reached the reviewing stand, he need be
sub ect TO no delay. AT precisely 1928
Gen. Schofleld gave the order, and the
greatest military parade of modern times
started. From Pine street, the point from
which the start was made, up broadway as
far as the eye coul reach the sidewalks
were literally blockaded with people, while
the windows doorways, aud roofs of the
bulldogs were simply mass of humanity.
As the gorgeous pageant began to move up
Is galway all the patriotism in the mass,
which had been pent up now for many
hours, broke forth Cheers rent the air,
handkerchiefs and banners held in the
hands of the people began waving and
New York and its muny thousands of visi-
tors were happy.
The parade was led by Maj. Gen Scho-
field, accompanied by his staff and corps Of
aids. The right Of the line was given to
