NEW YORK, April 28.-For the first tim
in almost century, since the day that tn
| British evacuated New York in 1914, uni
formed forces of foreign nations, armed
and equipped as though for battle, marched
through our streets. In no other countr,
is such thing possible. With muskets q
their shoulders and small arms at theil
side they marched down Broadway. There
were grim Russian, sturdy Britons, rugged
Germans, natty Frenchmen and DARK
visaged Italians. In company formation
with their own officers in command, with
their own bands they marched as they
never did before. Thousands of people
witnessed their work and applauded them
to the echo. The marines and blue jackets
of the United States preceded them, and
the National guard of New York followed
them.
A dense fog hung like a pail over the
river early in the morning, making it nec-
essary to use naptha launches to carry
messages from the hagships of the nations.
About 8 O'Clock the sun broke through the
mist, the fog lifted, and then the blue
jackets and marines from the vessels pre-
pared to land. A steam launch from q.
M. 8. Blake, with squad of blue jackets,
conveyed the foreign contingent to land.
They swung in at the Fortieth street pier
at $50. There was quite a gathering of
west side people to witness the landing
of the British. A midshipman was in
command, and, beardless boy that he was,
he seemed proud of the distinction of land
ing the queens troops on American soil.
He formed his handful of men in line and
marched them up and down the long pier
and finally swung them out in long picket
line as though he intended to hold the por-
ton of America that he had captured.
At 9 o'clock a naphtha launch, towing
three boats, all loaded with blue jackets
from the Concord, drew in along thepier, and
before the British MILDLY noticed 1t Uncle
Sans men climbed over the string piece
of the wharf and instantly fell into line.
They marched down one side of the pier,
while the Britons stood at attention on the
other side. It was the first contact of the
foreigners with the home forces, and there
was no clash of arms.
A few minutes later the steamboat Mat
teawan landed 800 Britishers-marines,
soldiers and ssilors-at the end of the
pier. Commander Bailey was in charge
With the Britishers was the goat of the
Magicienne, decked with royal red blan-
ket. The Myndert Starin landed the French
sailors at the Thirty-eighth street pier at
about the same time. =
The Sam Sloan, with United States
marines from the Chicago, Newark and
Philadelphia, landed at Fortieth street at
ly and marched to Forty second street,
whore they took the plaoes assigned to
them in the line.
The Russians, Italians and Hollanders
landed at the piers just above Forty second
street A detachment of naval veterans,
commanded by Captain Osborn, received
the admirals and senior officers of the ships
at the foot of Forty-second street.
Carriages were in waiting and the mount
ed police acted as their escort to the head
of the line.
After some confusion in getting the blue
jackets in their proper position and clos
given at 10 O'Clock to start. The men
stepped off at the tap of single drum,
the procession moving silently along until
the Massachusetts Naval Reserve band
Joined the column at Eighth avenue. The
procession did not reach the starting point
at Fifth avenue and Forty second street
till 1920, and it took considerable time to
make arrangements for the start. The
crowds along the march from the ferry to
Fifth avenue were nearly as large as those
seen there last fall on Fifth avenue, during
the military parade. Steps, doors, win
dows, roofs, and fences were utilized as
points of view by men, women and child
rem, and they generously cheered every
body of sailors or marines that passed.
The actual start was made at 1916 O'Clock.
An exciting incident occurred few
minutes after the start opposite to the re-
serve at Fortieth street and Fifth avenue.
A lieutenant from one of the United States
men of war, who had been detailed on
special duty and had borrowed police
horse in order to ride up and down the
line with messages, lost control of the
horse. The animal dashed madly down
the avenue and the rider, expecting every
moment to be thrown, shouted as he
passed the mounted signal corps, "For
Gods sake save me-" Millege Davis of the
First Brigade Signal Corps, at a word from
his captain, went to his rescue and there
was a wild race for several blocks. Davis
overlook the runaway and leaning over
grasped the bride. AS he did 80 bis own
horse fell and he was thrown to the pave
ment. The lieutenant was endorsed at
| the same time and Davis's horse fell nearly
| upon the two men. Both escaped without
| broken bones, but were severely bruised.
Madison Square was the Mecca for 80,
| 900 people who wanted to witness the great

| ing. As early as o'clock crowds of men
women and children began to arrive. They
took up positions along the curbs and or
steps and other elevated positions of want
l age.
About 10 o'clock the crowd had increased
to such q proportion that the police found
1t necessary to stretch wires from point te
point, to prevent the crowd from encroach
Ing on the space for the psraders.
Shortly after 1890 O'Clock great cheer
ing along the line announced the coming
OF the barouche bearing President Cleve
land. As the president passed along tn
solid walls of human beings great cheering
arose, and was continued all along the line
After the passage of the president tn
crowd settled down to await the coming o
the procession. It was His O'Clock whel
the head Of the column appeared, and
was 12:45 when the crowd closed In on tn
rear.
The crowd was an enthusiastic one an,
cheered nearly every man of prominenc
recognized and every detachment as it cam
into view. The Jack Tars of the America
navy were loudly greeted and their bronz
cheeks seemed to flush with pleasure at tn
compliment.
There was great cheering along the lin
when the English sailors hove in sigh
The people seemed to remember that x
day, for the first time since 1914, the Bri

As the end of the parade passed IL
square the usual scramble of spectatol
occurred. The side streets and avenue
soon became streams of people, but In
short time number of boxes, broken be

to remind one of the great land parade.
