try, the ''President's Own" received tne
greatest tribute They marched gnree
hundred strong under Colonel MokiDpln
and the memory Of their valorous deeds at
the storing of San Juan hill stirred the
people to tbunderous applause. Inese
are the men who, with comrades dropping
all around them, waded waist deep
through water, forcing their foemen baek
and singing the "Star Spangled Ban

With them marched the Fighting
Musicians of the regiment, the men.

their instruments from them and made

glowing colors.
The highest degree of local enthusiasm
was bestowed on Colonel Hulings and his
10th Pennsylvania regiment His flank
movement in the fight at Coam0, Porto
Rico, had not been forgotten. The Presi-
Dental party joined in the applause. The
sailors were no less well received than the
the Texas, Gloucester, Marblehead,
Topeka, Mayfiower, with a few men from
the Yosemite, Yankee and other ships.
The rear of the line was held by the
Grand Army of the Republic and their
allied military organizations AS these
ancient warriors filed past they saluted
the President in their own way. Some
waved their hats; others raised their
hands in the conventional way. while
several companiesHhalted, turned and
fronting the Chief Executive presented
the tattered old battle flags, One of the
posts carried battery OF two guns and
sa uted with a shot from each as the stand
was passed. The President responded
with sweep of his hand and continuous
bows.
Between two of the 6. A. r. posts rode
In a carriage Harry L. MacNeal, who had
charge OF gun on the Brooklyn and who
crawled out over the side of the ship while
under fire, to extricate q fragment OF q
shell which had become fixed in the
muzzle.
Passing the Presidential stand, the
troops marched in company front form

faster than the regular time. In nearly
every instance the marching was almost
faultless.
AS the last line of soldiers and the body
of poll behind them passed the stand,
the crowd broke through the ropes ana
made rush toward the Presidents en-
