IN PHILADELPHIA.
1T was a beautyl"
That was the opinion of every Della
warean who participated in or witness
ed the Philadelphia parade attending
the unveiling of the Washington monu-
ment on Saturday 1t was all that
could be desired.
The day was perfect. The brilliant
military pageant, the fiery United
States troops, the dandy French ma
rines, the hundred big bands of music
the noble presidential party and the
great concourse Of people at Lemon
Hill and in Fairmount Park made up
a magnificent spectacle.
But above all, and not only to the
eyes of Delawareans, was the fine ap-
pearance of the Delaware military.
Many people supposed that the legisla-
tive blows which the National Guard
have received had knocked all patri-
otic pride out of the little Diamond
State, which was the first to sign the
Constitution. They were most agree
ably disappointed The governor and
his staff looked "bang-up," as a Dover
man declared while the music was
good and the marching was excellent.
Lieutenant-Co Colonel Stevenson and his
aide, Lieutenant Bootes, made a fine
appearance. riding at the head of the
first battalion.
Company BIS disappointment at not
being detailed was wonderfully ap-
peased by the elevation of Captain f. c.
Wiswell to command the second bat
