PRAISE FROM THE ATLANTA CON-
STITuTION.
The Atlanta, Ga, Constitution, says
of the Foot Guard and Connecticut day
at the exposition: 1.-THE parade yester-
day morning of the Governors Foot
| Guard was a most imposing spectacle,
and as they marched under the escort of
the Gate City Guard to the exposition
ground it was a royal reception the Wis
itors were given by the thousands
who lined the sidewalks and cheered
them as they passed"
"Out Peachtree the column moved
with the steady tramp of veterans. AT
every step the famous Foot Guard
made the people along the line cheer
and wave their handkerchiefs. A regu-
lar ovation was rendered them from
the time the command to move was
given until the column was halted in
front of the auditorium at the exposition
grounds. Old veterans waved their hats
exultantly at the sight of the British
coated soldiers and ladies clapped their
hands. The sidewalks and windows
contained many thousands who clamor-
ed for space to see the parade as it
passed by, and elbowed their way
through the mass of people and We
hicles"
THE column of soldiers that passed
through the streets of Atlanta yester-
day morning as the escort to Governor
Coffin made a most handsome appear
ance.
The Governors Foot Guard of Con-
nectcut, the oldest military organiza-
ton in the country and representing the
wealth of the Nutmeg state, attracted
great deal of attention as the line
was being formed In front of the Kim
ball"
"Connecticut's Foot Guard, keeping
step to the inspiring strains of the
bands, marched with the precision of the
veterans they are. Like clockwork they
wheeled into Decatur street and tramp
ed over the Belgian blocks Straight as
an arrow the soldiers moved on, their
proud heads erect and looking to the
front. Their handsome uniforms and
glstening accouterments dazzed under
the rays of the sun, and the black
plumes in their helmets were In striking
contract to the bright colored suits
and trimmings of gold. The column
; moved $ one man, and steadily onward
with quick step they marched into
Peachtree street
The Constitution In it's accout of the
brilliant exercises at the Auditorium
gives the following description of a
dramatic scene, the governor of Georgia
and the governor of Connecticut being
the actors;
THE RIGHT HAND OF FELLOW
