AS THEY PASSED IN REVIEW.
Amusing Scenes Witnessed at the
Stand.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The crowd at
Union square to-day was, if anything,
greater than that Of yesterday. Inspect
or Steers and his 800 policemen had all
throng in order. The stands, every
window facing the square, the roofs of
surrounding buildings and the side
walks were crowded and packed with a
mass of humanity. The seats on the
Fourth avenue side of the square, from
Fourteenth to Seventeenth street, were
flee to women and children, but long
before it was time for the parade to
start they were crowded. Many of the
people came as early as 3 and O'Clock
in order to secure seats. At O'Clock it
was impossible to get from one part of
the square to another, and when once
one got into the crowd there, he had
to stay.

THE GRAND ARMY MEN
as they passed the reviewing stand
were warmly greeted. One old veteran
improved the opportunity afforded by
the accessibility of the president
to hand him a note. 1t was taken by
President Harrison with smile. As
the Swiss contingent passed before the
president the beVy of handsome young
girls OH the float shOwered huge bunches
of roses on the president. Some little
excitement was caused by some of the
Tammany braves refusing or neglecting
to salute the president as they passed
by. At first shouts of "Hats off" were
heard, but when it was seen that this
had no effect, the balance of the files
loudly Missed, except in few instances
where the proper Salnte was made. 1t
is not thought that the Tammanyites
that they did not know they were eX-
pected to salute. Shortly before Gen.
Butterheld and staff passed before the
president, Julius Sternberger, one of
his aides, was thrown from his horse
and
SUFFERED A BROKEN LEG.
Quite number of Gen. Butterfeld's
ai0es were thrown from their horses,
injury resulted. The large stands, al
though we'll filed, were by no means
crowded, except in one OF two sections
of the stand on the west side Of the
avenue. The first organization in the
parade which made its appearance was
the body Of Columbia college students.
1t passed the presidential at exactly
twenty-five minutes past 10 o'clock.
The boys created much amusement by
repeating in unison, the cry of 'Who
was General George Washington" and
accompanying the answer by "break-
down." Next followed the public
school children. They made an excel
lent appearance, and in many in.
stances marched better than some
of the rank and file in yesterdays
pageant. The children were welcomed
by tumult of applause, accompanied
by waving of handkerchiefs and dip
ping of miniature flage in the hands of
children and babies. The marked ap-
plause and hearty greeting continued
until the children were well past the
reviewing stand. and made way for the
next organization. Among the school
children was troop dressed in the
garb of continental soldiers. The little
fellow who led them could not help
aughing as he passed the president and
he received probably the most profound
salute of the day. The lads powdered
periwig was hid iauntily with three
cornered hat of the time of George
Washington. He had miniature baton
in his hand and kept exact time to the
martial music.
