with the exception of one consolidated COM
pany of infantry formed of volunteers from
Companies A and + of the Fifth Regl-
ment stationed at Oakland, and of course
also Company c Of the Thiid, which
par AIDED, however, with the battalion to
escort to BrigadieI- General John GlbDop.
commanding the Division Of the Pacific, and
to his Excellency Governor II. W. Water
man, the city officials and invited guests.
The regulars were not numerically as
strong as they might have been, nor was the
Second Brigade, n. G. c.. but the members
of the latter had been given special permis-
sion to parade with their parlors and few
indeed that did not avail themselves of the
privilege. The fear expressed in certain
uniformed quarters that the brigade would
be so decImated for this reason that the
parade would not be a creditable one proved
to be based on very slight foundation, for,
as matter of fact, better showing was
made, with the exception OF one battalion,
than on the parade on the national holiday.
The National GuardsmeE who paraded with
their parlors represented about % per cent
of the whole number that would under other
circumstances have paraded with their CON-
panies.
The band Of the First Infantry Regimen,
U. 5. A., headed the detachment of Federal
troops, commanded by Colonel w. K Shals
ter, First Infantry. The detachment COM
prised battalion of eight companies of the
First Infantry, under Lieutenant Colonel j.
5. Casey; battalion of Light batteries
and F of the Fifth Artillery. under Major
b. ii. Kinzie, and q battalion of troops |
and X of the Fourth Cavalry, under Lieu
tenant-COonel Anson Mills. All along the
line the pOpulace drew comparisons between
the professional and the citizen soldiery,
and not always to the dsfavor of the States
troops. In fact owing 10 the youthful ap-
pearance Of their line officers the regulars
We're frequently mistaken for the brigade.
In the matter of uniforms there vas no
distinguishing mark; III the set up of the
men and in the way they carried their
pieces there was, OF course, to the sodierly
eye; but to the average civilian this was not
so apparent The regulars were bronzsd by
the sun after their recent summer encamp-
ment of two months. and the States soldiers
were tanned after their equally as recent
camp at Santa Cruz. TIE one marched on
unaccustomed ground; the other on its na-
tive heath, ana the obstacles which mpeded
ths steady march and correct alignment of
the professional cOunterbalanced the short
cOmiugs of the amateur
Another band OF music and next came the
cavalcade OF Brlgadler-General John T.
Cutting, commanding the Second Brigade,
\. q. e.. and accompanied by his staff
Each CT the three battalions had its band,
though the Second Artillery was not with its
own band music. The Brigade Signal
Corps never made a bett.r appearance
The batta lions were not In their accustomed
places IN ilnP, but marched in the order OF
the rank OF the field officer in command so
that the Third Infantry, under command of
Colonel Thomas +. Barry, had the right of
liue, the First, under Lieutenant Colonel S. j.
Tayl0r, the center. and the Second Artillery,
under Major d. Geary, the left, with the
Light Battery, Captain II. T. Sine, and the
S. L. Hussars, Captain C. C. Ksene, the ex-
treme left. The Oakland company of the
Fifth wedged itself in snme unaccountable
way between Company G and the Cadets on
the left of the First Infantry. but their pres
ence was welcome notwithstanding.
The Third and First made good show
ing in point of numbers. which made the
small turnout of the Second all the more
noticeable. There were probably some 1900
in the division. After the brigade came in
carriages Governor Waterman accompanied

Officers of the General Admission Day
Celebration Committee of the Native Sons,
riding in handsome carriage, drawn by four
black horses, brought up the rear Of the
division. General Chairman Cham berlan
was distinguished by maroon and gold
sash, General vice-Chairman Nelson wore
maroon ana white, General Secretary Doc
Ian maroon and blue, General Treasurer
DOckery maroon and red, and General As
sistant Secretary du Py maroon and Nile
green.
The military was oftentimes closely pressed
for space to march on Market street, and
the attempted division formations hal to be
abandoned for the column of plato0ns,
which later were not ALWAYS eQualiZed. The
review was practically abandoned, the pop
ulace having taken such complete poss es-
sion Of the thoronghfare as to leave fr ON
Van Ness avenue to Third street on the
cOuntermarch not more room than to per-
nit of the passage Of two columns of fours,
one out and the other On the return. On
the march out by plat0ons sets of fours on
the left had almost constantly to march in
the rear, so determined was the populace to
maintain the vantage ground which it had
gained. Nor was the populace backward in
applauding good marching and wheeling, or
manifesting signs OF disappr0val when the
reverse was exhibited.
