be given from the cruiser Philadelphia,
stationed in the harbor. At 1890 O'Clock
one of the big guns will be fired. The re.

City. The bugler at the head of the col

cession will move. Everything is to be
done on schedule time and there will be
mona of the delays of former years.
The first division of the parade will
probably be the finest military pageant of
regular troops of the United States that
has ever been seen on this coast. There
will be cavalry, infantry and light artillery
from the various posts around the bay, and
bluejackets and marines with their light
rapid-fire guns from the white cruisers.
The regular army band from the Preside
will march with the land troops and the
enlisted musicians of the Philadelphia will
accompany the naval detail.
The landing of the marines an d blue
jackets at the Ciay-stree wharf will be a
very interesting spectacle to people who
have often wondered just how, in times Of
emergency. that duty is accomplished.
The occasion affords an opportunity to
cipline of the naval forces, and it will be
utilized to the utmost.
From the wharf the marines will be es.
corted to their place in the procession by
cavalry from the Presidio. They will be
commanded by R. r. Ingersoll, lieutenant
commander and executive officer of the
Philadelphia, who has specially desired
ment that no National flag save that of
the United States will be permitted in the
parade.
Admiral Beardsley and the entire official
equipment of both the Olympia and the
Philadelphia will show themselves in the
parade in full uniform. They will ride in
carriages, there being three carriages for
the officers of each vessel. Grand Marshal

Grand Marshal Forster and Colonel
Hunter will confer this morning concern

meeting of marshals, aids, etc., will be
held on Tuesday evening to perfect the

parade. He expects to settle that QUESTION
tu-morrow.
The War Department has telegraphed

company will not turn out. There will be
the regular army band from the Preside

Continental style and another will accom-

Fulton street instead of Golden Gate
avenue. The change in location was
rendered necessary by the presence of trees
at the first spot chosen, which interfered
with the erection of the stands.
In the review a novel feature is pro-
posed. When the regular army color
guard which leads the column reaches the
reviewing stand it will wheel out of line
and take up position near the grand
marshal. Every officer who passes the
stand must salute the flag and each band
as it passes will render homage by striking
up the air of "Three Cheers for the Red,
