were in fatigue uniform, with the regula-
ton campaign hat, and were in light
marching order.
Then came q feature of the parade in
the shape of Troop B of the Third Bri-
gade, National Guard of California, of
Sacramento. The brigade was only re-
GENTLY transformed from an artillery bat
terry into cavalry troop, and its first ap-
pearanoe as such was in yesterdays pa
rade. The troop throughout was mounted
upon white horses, and, marching in
platoon formation, presented very
military appearance. The troop was
commanded by Captain John Cook.
Next in line came Sacramento's crack
Second Infantry Band, under the leader

ID. L. Seymour of Sacramento command

mento, of Auburn and G of Sacra-

of Sacramento and t of Woodland, were
also in line, passing the grand stand at
the Plaza with arms at port.
So with the passing of the militia
ended the first division of the great
parade. In passing it is but justice to
state that the soldier boys were well re-
ceived, and at many points cheered to the
echo.
SECOND DIVISION.
At the head of the Second Division
rode Marshal w. w. Greer with his aids.
Immediately following whom came Rom
CONVERTS excellent American Band,
deoked out in the uniform that has be-
come familiar to everyone.
Next in line came the Joint 9th O
September Committee and to say that
they drew the attention of the crowd
would be drawing it mild. Evidently
the people understood that the exertions
made by the committee had been
herculean. and they gave to Cesar that
which was Cesar's."
Then cheer after cheer arose and con-
tlnued during the passing Of Califia Par
lor OF Native Daughters, of Sacramento.
The ladies kept their formation with such
precision as would have made REGULAR
that they were versed in all the military
movements from mark time" and

open order, three abreast, and were
decked out entirely in white, from their
shoes to their serviceable sunshades that
they held over them. Nor, as was the
case with some OF the sterner sex. was
there any appearance of fatigue, and the
impression left was that they were
worthy daughters Of worthy sres. The
banner and flag carried by the parlor
caused considerable comment.
Then came the jolly, jovial Sacramento
Parlor, No. 3. The boys were at home.
and as the banner with which they were
recently presented by the Califa Parlor
was proudly borne in their front, they
may be excused for having allowed their
eXuberance to bubble over in many repeti-
tions of their yell" which has become
30 we'll known in the city. They looked
cool in slouch linen hats and white trous-
ers.
Next in line came body of men, hand
somely decked out in white uniforms.

OF white material. They were preceded
by very handsome banner, and her,
aided their appearance with the yell:

of its banner, and refulgent in ite insig-

who were enthusiastically received by
the crowd.
Now came Cassassas' excellent band,
Immediately followed by California Par
lor No l, who kept off the sun, which
had become rather friendly, by flimsy
sun-shades OF the Japanese variety. They
