Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-05

the city hall for several minutes
before the procession started was ami
mated, as aids galloped to and fro.
vehicles drove hither and thither, and
divisions marched and counter-marched
in apparently the widest confusion.
From this seeming chaos order was res
tored at the word of command, which
was given at IL :l5 O'Clock, and the al
most incessant hum Of voices which had
been heard for some time was hushed as
the parade moved off to the inspiriting
strains of a march played by the fore
most band.
The road having been cleared by
couple OF mounted policemen as out
riders, Chief of Police j. M. Glass,
mounted upon a roam steed, led off the
parade, ahead of six mounted officers,
who rode abreast. Then came drum
corps, followed by a platoon of twenty
patrolmen, armed with rifles, and two
more platoons OF unarmed patrolmen,
all in full dress uniform. The men pre-
sented an admirable appearance, and
their steady marching and the precision
with which they executed the military
movements they were called upon to per-
form during the parade, won for them
the admiration of the spectators all along
the line of march.
Grand Marshal G. f. A. Last, mounted
upon superb iron gray horse, was the
next attraction, and behind him rode
his chief of staff, Charles Alexander, and
the following members of his staff:
John P. Moran, A. Todhunter, Martin
Aguirre, AL Lindley, j. j. Choate, A.
McNally, r. c. Weise, C. j. Kubach,
Francis J. Thomas, DR.. Edwin w.
Fowler, L. Winter, Boyle Workman, r.
j. jackson, E. H. Hutchinson, J. w.
Weaver, j. M. Skinner, Jos. Maier,
Conrad Scherer, +. w. Temple, M. G..
Norton.
The first division, headed by Marshal
A. T. Mckay and his aides, then came
into sight, and as it represented the
military element OF the parade it at
tracted especial attention.
General f. p. Johnson and his
staff, on horseback, we're followed
by Meme Bros. band of which
j. Harry Conlan was drum-major.
/ Then came five companies OF the Sew
enth and one OF the Ninth regiment in
fanty, in all about $40 men being in
line. Lieutenant-Colonel A. I. Palmer
was in command, and his military bear
ing won for him many admirers among
the fair sex. The companies present
were as follows: GA" under Captain
Schneider; "B," of Pasadena, under
Lieutenant Hamilton; &C." under Cap
tain Stern sd, :" of Pomona, under Cap
tain Driffill; OF" under Captain Rag
land, and "G," OF Anaheim, under Cap
tain Wood.
The Grand Army of the Republic was
represented by about fifty members of
the Stanton and Frank Bartlett posts,
and after them came the Societa
and green uniforms.
A carriage, in which were seated
Major Bonebrake, Major Ben. Truman
followed by company OF the Jacinto
which were seated a number OF little
girls, each representing a state OF that
republic. Then came the Anaheim
band, followed by one OF the best fea-
lures of the procession the "Conti-
nentals," under the command of Colonel
III. G.. Shaw. About one hundred boys,
each attired as were the soldiers la
years ago, with white wigs and
uniforms of blue and buff, were
in the ranks, and they marched
with precision that showed excellent
training. A company OF mounted conti-
nentals followed, four abreast. Then
came the Yuma Indians, each carrying
an umbrella. They appeared to enjoy
the attention they attracted, and
marched along closely observing the
people and the decorations.
In the third division were several en-
gines OF the fire department, together
with a hose cart and the hook and lad
der company. Robert Evan McGregor
was marshal of the second division.
