prices, but the vantage 1t afforded filled
it from front row to rear. Many of those
who had witnessed the exercises at the

As President Mckinley appeared at the
rear central door of the stand the rela-
uves, friends and guests on the platform
gave him round after round of hand-clap-
ping. Bowling to right and left with smil-
ing countenance he walked hat in hand to
the sheltered niche selected for him. He
was cheered as was also Vice President
Hobart, as he stepped forward, followed
by Mrs. Hobart. The appearances of the
President was the signal for the halted
procession to resume It's progress. "A, can
non doomed off in the distance, and the
grand review began.
The governors of states, as they march

Gov. Bushnell from McKinley's own
state.

tlced. Ex-Viee President Stevenson. who
had retired from Office a few hours pre-
viously, came upon the reviewing stand
while the parade was in progress and
proceeded to a seat unobserved. He
watched the marching battalions for
awhile and then as quietly and unostena-
tiously made his exit through one of the
rear doors.
Gen. Horace Porter, the grand marshal
of the parade, followed close behind the
army band from GOVERNOR Island that
led the parade. He received the first
cheer from the throng, the first bow from
President Mckinley and Vice President
Hobart, who stood side by side In the
glass enclosure. Behind him rode four
young men. wearing silk hats and frock
coats, with broad sashes of white across
their breasts, They, too, received pro-
found salutation from the reviewing
stand, the people there broke into app
plause when they were recognized. The
young men were Ulysses S. Grant, Webb
c. Hayes, Harry A. Garfield and
Russell Harrison, sons of four re-
ed States, and they acted as special
aides to Gen. Porter. Behind them came
the grand marshals numerous and brill
liant staff, all riding twelve abreast. The
marching of the regulars cavalry, ar
tillery. infantry and marines. was all that
could be desired, and drew cheers all along
the line.
Then came what to many what was the
most interesting feature of the parade
the battalion of sailors from the North
Atlantic squadron. They were led by
Capt. Sands, United States navy, tall,
spare and erect. looking more the soldier
than the salt sailor that he is. As he sa-
luted the President with his cutlass an
other greet cheer went up.
The first governor that rode by the re-
viewing stand was Bushnell of Ohio. He
was mounted on a handsome black horse
