The army, navy and marine corps was
the next section in line. Next to the dipio-
matte corps 1t presented undoubtedly the
sayest and most brilliant appearance of the
entire contingent. All the officers were in
full dress, in accordance with the require
n ents of the REGULATE They were max
ing official call upon the COMMANDMENT
chief of the army and navy, and were re-
quired to appear in the full uniform and
regalia of their rank and station. Their
apparel was spotless and their insignia and
side arms We're bright and radiant. The
military line, including the navy, marine
corps and the officers of the District mill
tia, gave brilliancy and colOring to the
scene which was decidedly effective. AS
the line filed past the receiving party in
true military style and bearing it presented
the effect OF a mass of blue and gold with
a picturesque commingliEg of yellow. red
and white as displayed distinctively in the
uniforms of the cavalry, artillery and in
fantry branches of the service.
1t was a subject OF remark that several
of the older officers did not seem altogether
at ease in their military attire and ac-
couterments and were at times embarrassed
in their efforts to avoid tripping over lkeir
0r-.lc yh tnh had q VI kN n u
dangling between their legs. According 10
a cynical spectator this apparent lack of
familiarity was due to the fact that the
officers in question had only worn their
uniforms for many years back on just such
occasions as this This was an ill-natured
remark and was not at all in keeping with
the spirit of the occasion. Consequently 10
one paid any attention to it. and it was
soon forgotten.
