of the youngster. Post Commander

Grand Army badge upon the lapel of
the presidents coat, and received a

son was the signal for tremendous
cheers from the crowds in the streets
and avenues, while the residence of the

honored at the Knapp mansion by the
Union Jack. The band on the balcony
started up "Hail to. the Chief" and

directly to the reviewing stand at
Washington park. and then the line
of march was taken up and passed

his staff, followed by the parade, with
