Following this tableau came the float repre-
senting Washington Crossing the Delaware
with its guard of several hundred cadets IN uni
form. Then came :. 500 school children escort
ing their center tableau OF Washington at
Valley Forge, Winter OF III and HIS"
In many cases the different trades and assO-
Citations were so late in arriving at the point of
assembly that they could not take the places
assigned TO them in the line OF march by Gen.
Butterfed. The boys from the various chart
table institutions and the public schools, being
more used to discipline than their elders in the
parade, were first on the ground.
The Germans had determined to lay them
selves ont on this parade, and they did 1t. The
marshal of this division was Emil Schaefer and
it was headed by Eben's band of forty pieces.
First came the German-American band Of
sharpshoOters to the number OF over three
thousand men. Then came the singing socie-
ties of which the Schillebund was the largest,
in the First division with 250 men, while the
Lorely had over five hundred in the Second di-
vision The feature OF this part of the parade,
however was the great number OF tabeaux and
floats il presented, nearly all the important
historical events or progress OF the last century
in the arts aud sciences finding each its respect
i've place. Almost every trade known to man
had its representatives among the German pop
ulation and at least a few artisans from each
were in the parade For the floats and ban
ners, they were, as already said, numerous, In
teresting and some of them exceedingly beauti-
full The first represented the landing of the
''Emiqrants 100 Years Ago" There were pic
lures OF Pioneers, German Heroes of the Rev
olution"-Dekalb, STeuben and Others, Ger
man Regiments in the War of the Rebellion,
and, to make the contrast with the preceding
picture, German migrants AT the Present
Time"
OEolur,hia apd Conn vif-tbe ono Graceful
and beaming, the other strong-limbed and
strong of visage-looked as though their des-
TIMES were inseparabe. The floats, OF which
there were sixty, were not confined 10 purely
German scenes and themes. "Armlnius the
conquerer of the Roman legions, was there, and
various of the arts were represented, which
touch the hearts of the people the world over,
music being especially prominent IN THIS re-
gard. The Third brigade OF OF the German d.
vision was made OF various organizations from
this and neighboring cities, comprising singing
societies shooting clubs and military asSocla-
tions. And now came the "Hibemians. They
numbered quite 10000. Some were uniformed
and some were not Irish and American flags
alternated all over the diversion and the elab-
crate float The World Moves On" added an
other feature to that part of the column. After
a number of trades organizations passed, the
United Polish societies came along one of their
floats showing how paper boxes are made.
little later the air was rent with the exceeding
" noisy band of music that preceded the col
ored centennial committee with the George
Washington coach, drawn byfOur horses in the
midst After the colored delegation had passed
Gen. Martin T. Mcmahon appeared at the head
of the regular Irish section OF the parade. This
included nearly all the lrish-Amerlcan societies
of New York, the papal veterans, SOOO mem
bers of the society OF the holy name 5000
more of the ancient order OF hibernlans, 4,OOO
OF the provincial council temperance societies
and about dozen catholic benevolent socie-
ties. The Irish had no reason to think their
efforts were not appreciated for the sight OF
the green flag beside the stars and stripes was
rapturously greeted at every stand and by the
people who lined the curb-stOnes.
Several temperance societies and h. OF 7.
preceded the float THE Resignation OF the
Commission" and the IOnkers cadet corps
escorted ''Fhe First Inauguration" Between
the Washington eontinentals and 1000 sous OF
veterans was the elaborate tableau The State
of Virginia" representing a ship OF the SIX
teenth century, with adventures IN Eliza
bethian costumes, crOwdlng the poop deck de-
serving the land. Then followed series OF
tableaux representing various states, as ioi-
lows: New YOrk-A boat-load of Dutch sailors
and voyagers. Massachusetts-Ihea nchOTing
of the MayfOwer. Observation-Disclosures
the savages Maryland-Lord Baltimore and
George Calvert. Pennsylvania-Penn'st treaty.
GeOrgia-The last prerevOlutlonary colonial
settlement.
After these came q most interesting feature
the Caledonian club of New York, and the
Seventy-ninth Highland regiment veterans.
The Scotchmen in the kits and kirtles attract
ed a great deal of attention and their stripes
stirred up considerable enthusiasm all down
the avenue. The Swiss centennial committee
with the Swiss tableaux were escorted by the
Centennial sharp shooters and then came the
Firemen's division. Chief among these Tad
dies" were the six hundred members OF the
New York Volunteer fremen's association.
and ten veteran associations. The engine and
hose companies from out of town presented
fine appearance with their highly polished
machines and bright new uniforms. There
were about 1000 men in this division, the rear
being brought up by the Brooklyn fire depart
ment The 400 Brooklyn police, who came
along just after the iremen, also presented a

ship-ioiners and the floats exhibiting their
handcraft, the Operative plasterers' society at
work at their trade, the cloaks and suit in
dustry hard at il with scissors and needle, the
marble-cutters scattering chips broadcast, 600
Brooklyn plumbers, 500 Brooklyn carpenters,
and 5000 members of the union of carpenters
and joiners of America, all carrying banners
or exhibiting some evidence establishing their
identity.
Next came the Italian division, the extent Of
