on q tastefully decorated stand. where he
was surrounded by members of the Cabi-
net and different legations, and throno
OF brilliantly dressed ladies, accompanied
by distinguished guests. As the differ
ent Governors passed the reviewing
stand, some on horseback and others in
carriages, each was greeted with a success
sion of cheers, which kept them bowling
many minutes. The crowd was Impair
tial in politics and yelled as Justify for
Flower of New York as it did for Nc
kinley of Ohio.
After the dignitaries passed, came on
the rank and file parade, in formation
ten files wide in double rank They
rolled like human wave past the re-
viewing stand for almost three hours. AS
each successive body reached the east side
of the Federal building it was greeted by
a thousand little girls, arranged in the
shape and draped in the colOrs CT the
American flag, each little tot carrying in
its hand dlnIinutive banner, and as the
sweet, childish voices rose to cheer the
militiamen the little pieces of bunting
| f1uttered wildly. 1t was a beautiful and
inspiring sight.
The Indian boys from the industrial
School at Carlisle, Pa, aroused enthusi.
astic cheers as they passed. Then came
the German Turner's, followed by brawny
Scots. after which were Poles, and then
Swedish societies, seemingly without
limit. Sons OF st. George, Sons Of st.
Patrick, Sons of Garibaldi, and various
and sundry other bands Of sons followed
i'll quick succession. The Foresters were
seemingly without limit. Independent
and Catholic orders were out in force.
The weather was admirable for the pa
rade, and the sun shone brightly during
the early morning, but later the sky was
overcast, and to many who stood hour
after hour the fresh northern breeze was
trifle uncomfortable.
