either curb of the street. The Presidents
carriage was drawn by four horses in sill
yer harness. 1t had two foOtmen. The
other carriages were drawn by two
horses. During the literary exercises
the van Of the parade, which had started
when the exercises began, had marched a
long distance up town, but had not
reached Madison Square. When Arch
bishop Corrigan had pronounced the ben
ediction at the Sub Treasury, word was
given to some Of the marshaPs aides who
were waiting, and they passed along the
line giving the order for each officer to
halt his company. In this manner the
whole procession was halted from Wall
street to the head of the line up
town. Then, at the order Of the officers,
the troops below Duane street divided,
part forming a continuous line on the
western curb of Broadway and part forms
ing a line on the eastern curb. Above
Duane street the G. A. r. men wero
drawn up in line on the western curb, ana
the regulars and militia made line opa
posite the veterans. This order pre-
vailed from Wall street throughout tho
line of march as far as Seventeenth
street where the head of the procession
was resting. Then between these living
walls the President and his party were
driven, up Broadway to WaYerly place;
through Waverly place to Fifth avenue;
through East Fourteenth street to the
east side Of Union Square; along the
Square to Fifteenth street; through Fiji
teenth street to Fifth avenue, and up
Fifth avenue to Madison Square.
As the Presidents carriage passed
along through the lines. the soldiers sa-
luted and the crowds on the sidewalks, in
the windows and on the house tops cheer
ed themselves hoarse. After the party

fell in line again and resumed their for
mer ranks and waited for the word to pro-
coed, which,was not given until the Presi-
dent had reached the reviewing stand.
Arriving at the reviewing stand in
Madison Square the President was re-
ceived by the committee on the army and
escorted to his seat on the grand-stand.
The order was then given to resume the
march, and soon the column came in
sight as it approached the Square, COM
ingu Fifth avenue. The troops march
ed well and presented a fine appearance
as they passed the reviewing stand.
The President did not attempt to stand
during the whole Of the tins while the
regiments passed in review, but at times
he stood in front of the stand, supported
on either side by members of the COM
mittee on army. Governor Hill and
Mayor Grant were also one on each side
of him.
Bands of music were distributed pro-
fusely throughout the parade, and each
band played its most stirring and bril-
liant music as it passed the stand of the
Chief Magistrate. After passing in re-
view the lines closed up a little so tn at no
break or halt would occur at the review
ing stand. The troops marched up Fifth
avenue to Fifty eighth street where they
were dismissed.
The parade was not over until very late
in the afternoon, and the portions of the
city off on the side streets were made
lively until a late hour by the disbanded
regiments returning to their armories or
rendezvous.
After the last detachment had passed
the reviewing stand the President was
taken in charge by the committee on ar
rangements and escorted back to the res-
idence Of Vice President Morton at No.
50 Fifth avenue, and the greatest parade
in paint Of significance that New York
has ever seen was over.
One of the chief attractions OF the pa
rade was the Seventh New York State
Regiment The ladies everywhere along
the route gave the Seventh a rousing well
come, which must have cheered the boys
on their march and inspired them with
fresh courage as they passed each group
of their admirers.
The Twenty econd Regiment also re-
ceived a large amount of attention, es-
pecialIy from the ladies. Outside of these
faYorites, the sailors, in their blue suits
with white -leggings, captured the great
est applause. Some of these tars are just
home from long cruises, and this fact was
undoubtedly remembered as they trudged
along, eliciting a storm of applause.
