AS the Vanguard marched up the
streets the other divisions fell into line
until all were in motion, forming one of
the most notable demonstrate tons ever
witnessed in this city. The two review
ing stands were in Madison square The
stand on the easterly side of the avenue
extended from Twenty-third to Twenty
sixth street and was divided into two
sections, in one Of which was the space
allotted to the reviewing officers and the
special guests OF the occasion. Stretch
ed along the top of this stand was
hinge banner bearing the inscription:
I'VE Know No Enemys Country in
This Fair Land of Ours
Chairs had been placed in the enclos-
ure reserved for the reviewing officers
and the invited gusts. To provide the
necessary illumination for the evening
portions of the parade, seventeen lime
lights were distributed on the grand
stand. By 10 o'clock both the stands
were filed to their utmost capacity. the
one on the westerly side of the avenue
being occupied by the families and
friends of the Business Mems Republi-
can and Sound Money association.
STRIKING GET-UPS.
There were not distinctive uniforms.
but still those in charge of the various
divisions and associations had not been

badges and banners. Flowers were
worn by many of the downtown organ

many carried silk flags.
The Columbia college boys, numbering
about 500, wore white sweaters, on each
Of which was a light blue letter arranged
so that each line of the company spelled
