NEW YORK CELEBRATES IN A Tyg-
TING MANNER,

The Greatest Military Display of Modern
Brilliant Decorations and Fitting
Display at Chicago Observances
Throughout the Northwest.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The town woke up
more sleepily Tuesday morning than it 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 more
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 all
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 it was found
necessary to start the parade somewhat
earlier than had been intended. This was
done i'll order that the line might be length
ened 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
subject to no delay. At precisely 1925
Gen. Schofelt 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 coul1 reach the sidewalks
were literally blockaded with people, while
the windows, doorways, and roofs of the
bulldogs were simply mass of humanity.
AS the gorgeous pageant began to move up
b oa 1way 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 it's 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
the West Point cadets, 400 strong, who
were followed by the regulars under Maj
