Az the veterans marched up Church
street the procession made very fine ap-
pearance and was favorably commented
had turned out to witness the parade.
The whole appearance was the same as the
posts will make in the big parade in
Washington. In front of the city hall
stage had been erected from which the
parade was reviewed by the mayor and the
city officials.
Among the principal features of the
parade was the Pioneer corps. This corps
carried axes, spades, shovels and pickaxes,
signifyipg what such corps used to do
during the war in throwing up entrench-
ments and the like. The past commanders
each carried q small American flag at
tached to his cane, signifying their rank.
The right and left guides carried small
flags bearing the name and number of the
post.
Miniature flags on little flag stats and
representing every corps in the late war
were carried in the procession. This is a
feature, the like of which will not be seen
in any other post in the country in the
parade, and undoubtedly it will attract
great deal of attention.
The parade arrived at the depot at $40.
At the depot large crowd was in waiting
of wives, children, sweethearts' and other
friends to see the vets off. A special train
was in waiting, composed of ten cars, in
charge of the veteran conductor, Frank
Hermance. Crank" received an ovation
of greetings of friendship from the vete
rams as he walked along to start the
! train. At exactly 800 the train
| slowly moved from the station followed by
the rousing cheers of the hundreds pres
emit which were answered by the veterans
waving their hats in return.
The post went via the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, arriving at the capital about
1 o'clock this morning. They will proceed
I, directly to the Second regiment armory,
| corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Sew
enth street. It Is one of the finest In the
city. Everything will be provided fol
their comfort there, and splendid time If
assured to all. In the parade which takes
place to-day the New Haven contingent
will undoubtedly make as fine, if not the
finest appearance of any other body Of
This will probably be the largest post il
line.
They will be assigned together with tn,
remaining Connecticut troops to the sixth
division.
A large number of the post went dow1
to Washington Saturday and Sunday, 81
