BOTH BOARDS OUT IN FULL FORCE.
Fine Displays by the Military and Civic
Organizations,
MANY OTHER FEATURES OF TIE DAY

Although there were two parades, anC
considerable interest was evoked by the
rivalry between them, nothing occurred to
cause discord or confusion. The effort o
each TO make their display superior to th'
other only served to make the turnout
larger. But there was room enough for all,
as there was in the heart of the patron saint
in whose honor they so proudly marched.
LOTS OF THEM YET.
The demonstration throughout was such
as to prove concIusively that the followers
of ST. Patrick were not diminishing, either
in numbers or enthusiasm. The tasty uni
ferns Of the Hibernians contrasted beautl-
fully with the gay scarfs, badges and green
cockades of the civic orders.
The bands all played Irish music and the
streets were crowded with the sympathetic
friends of marehers and sightseers. 1t is es-
timated that the railroads brought 3,OOO
strangers into the city. 1t was the most
successful celebration the Irishmen have
had on ST. Patrck's Day for many year.
The military and civic organizations, COM
posing the American Board A. 0. H., prob
ably presented finer appearance than upon
any previous occasion. Visiting organlza-
tions came in from within radius of 100
miles. The column formed on Grant street,
right resting on Fifth avenue, and the order
to march was given at IL O'Clock. Chlet
Marshal Falion wore broad white sash;
Chief of Staff Murray, blue, and AdJutant
General O'Donnell, red, The formation OF
the column and the order in which it moved
over the route is as follows:

THE OTHER TURNOUT
The Board of Erin procession was an
hour late in moving, owing to the lateuess
,f the arrival of visiting delegations, but
he delay was accepted good naturedly by
both the marchers and spectators The
main portion of the parade stood shiyering
lnder the fluttefing green, while the crowd
Kept getting thicker and thicker. Finally
he belated divisions put in an appearance
md the order to move was given.
The procession was much the same as the
irst one so far as colors were concerned.
They carried the same style of banners and
hey marched TO similar music. There were
Ibout 1,600 men in line, and for fine appear
Ince and good marching every division |
ustly deserved the many favorable COM
nents accorded them. The order of pro-
session was as follows:
HOW THEY FORMED.
Platoon Of II mounted police under Captain
Unterbaum.
