Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-10-13

the corner of Broadway and Wall street at 1O:2O.
 The New Jersey troops, 2,5o0 of them, under the command of Gov. Leon Abbett, formed on Liberty street west of Broad way and street south of it at 10:30.
 A small detachment of the Gate City | Guard of Savannah, Ga., and other | Georgian visitors made their rendezvous | on Cedar street.
 The Connecticut militia, 2,000 of them, Gov. Bulkley commanding, formed on | Liberty street east of Broadway. They | were followed into column by the Gov | ernor of Massachusetts and his staf.
 After the Governor of Massachusetts came the Fencibles of Washington city, the champion drill corps of the country.
 The Grand Army posts, 1,750 strong, were formed in line in Broome, Spring and Prince streets, and got into position at Il sharp.
 The New York City and volunteer fire departments - what would any civic parade be in New York without the old volunteer fire department?- formed on Dey, Fulton, Vesey and Barclay streets and Park Place.
 The Italian countrymen of Columbus marshaled their military organizations in and around Beekman street.
 The German uniformed societies, over 12;OO0 strong, stretched all over the street east of Beekman and north of Park row, with their right resting on Broad way and Mail street. They formed the ninth division of the parade.
 The French military organizations, "Gardes Lafayette" and "Grenadiers Rochambeau," very limited in numbers were grouped with other independent military organizations in the tenth and last division.
 The mere enumeration of the forces making up the mighty host of paraders show how formidable was the task Mar shal McMahon and his aides undertook.
 It is deemed good marching, under favorable circumstances, to put from ten to twelve thousand men an hour past 8 given point. The great two days review in Washington in 1866, at the close of the war, when sixty thousand veterans swung past the reviewing stand in quick step occupied six hours each day. The Grand Army parade in Washington City last month, when a like number of vet erans passed in review, occupied the same time.
 The route of the procession was from the Battery, at the foot of Broadway, up Broadway to Fourth street; then turn ing west, passing round Washington square to Fifth avenue; along Fifth ave- nue from Seventeenth street to Fifty ninth street Central Park) and there to disband.
 The arrangements for disbanding were as carefully and elaborately made before hand as those for assembling.
 There was no informal "petering g out" Each division marched to it's allotted sta tion and there dispersed.
 It is estimated that fully 10000 men were in line.
 The platoon of mounted police which headed the procession, had great difficulty olo ,,J 4 oF1 D,o Wearied somewhat by the long days observance of the day before, the great bulk of the spectators had, however, taken position further up town, so as to view the parade in it's more advanced stages at later hour in the day. The fact that the last division was not ordered to be ready to fall into line until Il :45,, an hour and three-quarters after | the start, intimated that there was to be l a long day of it.
 Marshal McMahon and his brilliant staff were worthy of the day. AT THE REVIEWING STAND. But here, breaking away from the fur I ther march of the great parade, as the ] other divisions, the military organiza, i tions of foreign citizens and the long line | of German American societies fell in line | it will tend to 8 greater intelligibility of | the scenes and incidents of the day to now take them up as they presented l themselves to your reporter stationed at l the Worth monument reviewing stand | in Madison square, immediately facing | Vice President Morton, Gov. Flower and | the other notables.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock the historic Old | Guard in their white coats, blue and gold | striped trousers and high bearskin hats | marched down the avenue fifteen abreast, followed by three open carriages in which | were Governor Flower, General Porter and the rest of his staff in full dress uni l form.
 | The Governors punctuality as he l alighted and took his place on the stand l was greeted with well-earned burst of applause.
 After the Governor had been seated the Guard of Honor marched down Fifth avenue to President Morton's house on the corner of Sixteenth street, and from that point escorted the Vice-Presi dent and Mayor Grant in 8 carriage to the reviewing station.
 After the Connecticut troops had filed past came Governor Russell of Massachu- setts, escorted by the Washington Fen cibles, fully justifying by their splendid
 marching the champion badge they have twice won at National drill contests.
 Then the military men of the present
 gave way to the soldiers of the past, and
 New York's handsomely uniformed Grand
 Army posts, heading the Fourth Brigade,
 renewed in their own capital city the tri-
 umphs they gained in the great march
 past in Washington last September. | At 11:05 modest little procession was
 seen coming from the Fifth Avenue Hotel
 end making straight for the grand stand
 without accompanying music or other
 demonstration except scattering clap ping of hands.
 As it drew nearer it was seen that at
 the head of it was ex President Ruther
 ford B. Hayes, on foot, leaning on the
 arm of Gen. Anson G. McCook, Secretary
 of the Senate and followed by Secretary Chas. Foster of the Treasury, Secretary of War Elkins, Secretary of Agricult tur' | Rusk, Ma. Gen. Schofield, Gen. in Chic
 of the Army of the United States, Gen
 O. o Howard and Maj. Wm. Broadhead
 Chief-of Marshal McMahons staff.
 The eX-President and his distinguished
 companions were cordially welcomed bI
 Vice-President Morton and Governor
 Flower and MT. Hayes, whose gra!
 hair and beard were very noticeabl
