under the command Of Lieutenant
Healey, and then detachment on foot
under Captain Hartigan.
Directly behind Hartigan's men camc
Sousa's marine band, acting as escort
for tho Mexican national band. The
visitors from beyond tho Rio Grande
were given welcome which brought
flusn Of pleasure to their cheeks, and
thoy repaid tho compliment by pour
ing forth tho best music OF which thoy
are capable, and there is no better
mnsic than they can make. Asquickly
as the last strains from one band died
away, the other took it I'D and from the
beginning to the end OF the march
;here was continuous martial music at
the head OF tho procession.
Tho Chicago Hussars in black, with
white trimmings, riding well and head
cd by their bugle corps, filling tho air
with stirring martial notes, was the es-
cort to the mayor OF Chicago, the city
councils and carriages and the govern
ors Of the different states, each OF whom
was surrounded by brilliant staff.
Mayor Washburne bore his honors
placidly and gracefully, and many OF the
aldermen were conscious that the eyes
OF the world were upon them, and they
deported themselves with becoming
dignity. On either side of Mayor
Washburne's carriage rode six hussars,
acting as his private escorts. AS gov
ernor after governor. went by each was
greeted with cheers. 1t was enough
for somebody to shout "here's another
governor" for the crowd to set up q
loud and prolonged cheer.
SECOND DIVISION.
The second grand division was led by
the Independent Order OF Foresters,
1900 strong, who made a fine appear
ance as they swept down the street in
the regular formation OF twenty files
front. The dark green OF Italy flowed
in tidal wave behind the crimson re-
gala Of the Foresters and the numerous
Italian societies were cheered to the
echo as they went by, each man march
ing as though he was the direct heir OF
the fame OF Columbus. In their rear
was gigantic float representing "Co-
lumbus Discovering America" showing
the Santa Maria approaching n rock
bound coast, upon which number Of
Indians stood, eagerly scanning the APP
preaching vessel. Behind the float !
tramped 300 Grecians, wearing the
decorations OF their nations flag, blue
and white.
Eight thousand men OF the Patriotic
Order Sons Of America were over an
hour in going past; their ranks were
broken at frequent intervals by bands,
which worked industriously at Ameri-
cas- national music. Then in close,
even ranks came the descendants of the
men who had won the battle OF the
Bovine, their persons and banners bear
ing knots OF their favorite orange rib
bon. Three thousand five hundred
men OF the Chicago Turner's Society,
headed by the national commission Of
their order, looked exceedingly we'll in
their neat uniforms OF grey shirts,
trousers and hats.
There was strong reminder OF the
heather as ] 200 bonnie Scots hove in
sight. every man Tartan. The bag
pipes, which were many throughout
their column, shrieked shrilly, and
whenever they died away the big brass
bands Mt the head of the clans doomed
out the Scottish music 80 dear to the
men who swung along in solid ranks
behind. The Scots were decidedly a
feature OF the parade, and $50 OF the
ROYAL Scots regiment, clad in the royal
Stuart plaid, called forth loud cheers OF
approval. Fifty men wearing the uni
form of the famous Black Watch regi-
nlent, who were next in line, were fol-
lowed by seemingly endless string OF
plaids representing every family OF
Macs between Berwick and John
0'Grots.
There was also in line 700 men Of the
Bohemian Turner societies, and these
followed by 500 German veterans, who
marched proudly beneath the red,
white and blue Of their adoption, and
the red, white and black under which
they marched in less peaceful times.
The black and gold OF the Sons Of ST.
George followed the Highlanders. Then
came rank after rank OF Polish societies
containing in all about two thousand
men. After them came ten times rs
many ranks and with its proportionate
number OF men, and every man q
Swode. In four carriages were sixteen
pretty girls representing in their attire
The various national female costumes OF
Sweden and Norway.

The next division was made up of
1000 boys from the grammar high
schools of Chicago, who were clad in
various styles OF uniform ard gave vent
every now and then to lusty lungcd ex-
pressions of their school yells. Then
tramped eight representatives OF every
Grand Army Post in Chicago and Cook
county, reinforced by numerous deleg-
ations from neighboring cities. The
veterans we're not above 500 strong and
in their rear was float representing tho
famous Old Monitor as abe appeared
before fighting tho Merrimac. The Sons
of Veterans, modern woodmen OF
America, uniformed rank of the Royal
Arcanun and knights OF Pythi as, 1900
men in all, closed tho division.
The third grand division under the
command OF Chief Marshal Cahill was
led by the Marshal, surrounded by
large stalr in whose wake came fifty
mounted men, members OF the Uni
formed knights of st. Patrick.
