Yesterday afternoon was devoted to
parade through tho principal streets of the
city the president reviewing the march
ers from the portico of the executive man
sion. Tho procession was not notable for
IT'S length, but 1t was imposing OH account
of the exceptionally good personal appear
ance of the participants, from the orderly
manner In which they marched, and also
because of the escort OF United States
troops. Most of the veterans were gray
haired, and some of thom limped as they
walked, but they conducted themselves in
q manner which would have done credit
to them thirty years ago.
Twenty three minutes were consumed
in passing the White House while the
president stood In the portico bowing to
each separate detachment acknowledging
flag salutes and smiling in response to tho
bows Of personal acquaintances in the line
of march. The review was witnessed by
large gathering of spectators.
