 Good Work of Second Regiment Band.
 Although Connecticut is small state the appearance made by her contingent in the great parade in New York yes other military organization in line, al though several bodies of state troops surpassed the Nutmeg states represen- tation in point of numbers. Along the entire line the Connecticut boys were greeted with cheers, called forth by their splendid appearance in marching and by their fine uniforms. Probably no other body of men in the parade re- ceived more applause, except possibly the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company of Boston.
 The Second company, Governors Foot Guards, and the Grays of this city were the first Connecticut troops to arrive in New York yesterday morning, the Northam, on which they made the trip, getting into the dock at Peck Slip about an hour before the Peck arrived with the First company of Foot Guards of Hartford. The Continental, with the | Second company of Governors Horse | Guards of New Haven, arrived soon af- l ter. Company I of the Third regiment of New London arrived in New York | early in the morning on the City of | Worcester.
 The Horse Guards breakfasted at o'clock, and at o'clock mounted and rode to the rendezvous of the Connect | icut troops on Thirty-third street, near Madison avenue. The Second company | of Foot Guards and the Grays did not | leave the Northam until about 1915. The saloon of the steamer presented 1 gay aspect during the time of waiting, the showy uniforms of the Foot Guards mingling with the white and gray of Company F.
 At 10:15 Trumpeters Doran of the Grays and Lines of the Foot Guards sounded the call for fall in,' and all was at once hustle and hurry to get accoutrements ready The two compa i lllGS, WllIl lll6 DeCOIlu ICSliiChl beiiiNi, marched to the next pier above Peck Slip, where they embarked on the steamer Black Bird, which had been chartered to carry them to the east end of Thirty-first street. The First company of Foot Guards had in the meantime gone uptown on the elevated. l Their commander had endeavored to make arrangements with Major Brown l to have them taken up on the Black Bird with the New Haven companies, but the steamer was small. and Major Brown decided that there would be no room aboard for the additional com- pany.
 As the Black Bird swung out from the slip the Second regiment band, un- der the leadership of Frank Ffchtl, struck up the Hyperion March" the | new march written by Fred Guilford. | The piece was received with applause l by the military men, and Mir. Guilford was highly complimented. On the way up East river the Black Bird passed ferryboat, the Columbia, with a Brook | lyn regiment aboard.
 | Arrived at Thirty-first street, the troops formed on the dock at the foot of the street, headed by the Second Regi- ment band The order of formation was as follows: Second Regiment band, Second Company Foot Guard, Wheeler & Wilson's band of Bridgeport, and the Grays. The formation and start from the pier was watched by Magyar Farnsworth, General Registrar Hamilton, Representative Frederick l.. Averill and Selectman Cunningham, these gentlemen having gone down with the companies from New Haven and went up the river with them on the Black Bird.
 After the companies were formed, the march began uB Thirty-frst street to First avenue, to Thirty second street, to Third avenue, to Thirty-fourth street to Lexington avenue, to Thirty-third street. On Thirty-second street they passed the Governors Troop of Harris burgh, Pa, and at the corner of Lex ington and Thirty-third street the Six teenth Pennsylvania regiment, known as the "Oil Country Regiment" from Bradford. At the corner of Fourth ave- nue and Thirty-third street the New 1 Haveners passed and were saluted by the National Fencibles of Washington, D. C., and Company of the Third Con- necticut regiment of New London, the latter doffing their caps.
 l At Madison avenue and Thirty-third street the New Haven companies form ed Governor Cooke and staff and the Horse Guards were already stationed there. Governor Cooke was seated in a carriage with his private secretary. Just across Madison avenue and also on Thirty-third street was Governor Griggs of New Jersey, with his staff, and the Jersey troops Just as the New Haven boys arrived the head of the big parade was passing on Madison avenue.
 It was 11:45 when the Foot Guards and Grays took their position on Thir- ty-third street, the Horse Guards hav- ing been there some time longer and it was not until 2:30 that they fell in with the parade just behind the New Jersey troops. But the Connecticut men were not the only troops who had to wait Just above them on Thirty fourth street was Governor Walcott of Massachusetts with his staff and troops, including the Ancient and Hon. orable Artillery of Boston. While across on the other side of Madison avenue were three regiments of Mary land troops. The crowds in the vicinity of Thirty-third and Thirty fourth
