The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-31

Ihe companies Of the second division
did not enter the Auditorium, but in
stead proceeded to their respective
quarters. The Junior Pioneers, headed
by Lieut.. Bundy and a squad Of mount
ed police, proceeded up Cedar to Ninth,
over to Minnesota, and then to Seventh,
and returned to their hall in the Elks
lodge rooms, where some good things
awaited them. Brother Emery and his
company of cadets left the parade at
Ninth and Cedar and proceeded back
| to the Cretin high school, where the
boys exchanged their uniform white
duck caps, for their own, and a large
number Of them returned to the Audi
| forum.
THIRD DIVISION.
The PostofTice band headed the third
division, under Marshal V. G. Curtis.
Following the band was battalion Of
| carriers and clerks of the postoff1ce un-
| der command of Capt Hardacre.
| The feature of the third division was
the school children. Nearly every
| school in the city was represented, and
| there were 1000 children in line, rang
| ing from little tots that were just able
| to keep up to the young men and wom-
en- Of the high schools. The grade
schools came first, and after them the
pupils Of the Central high school, Hum
boldt high school, Cleveland high school
| and the Mechanic Arts school.
| The young ladies Of the Humboldt
rode on a float and presented a pretty
| appearance in their pure white Co.'S
| tunes, while each one carried a small
| flag and bunch Of flowers.
| Nearly every school was headed by a
| drum corps, and the pounded their
| drums throughout the entire marching
in a way that ma.de many of the on
lockers think that the boys imagined
| the drum heads were made Of some
sort of Spanish material.
: Ihere were also a number of small
| military companies with privates, SER
geants, lieutenants and captains, some
with uniforms and otheDs in their
| school clothes. The ununiformed Of
| ficers were easily distinguished from
the others, however, by the soldier
| straps, for not in a single instance
were the latter lacking.
The privates were equipped with guns
| OF every sort and description, from the
regulation army rifle to a broom stick
tackled to a flat board, but the ap-
! parent discrepancy in arms did not
worry the boys, for those that had
broom sticks carried them just as
| proudly as the one boy that was lucki-
ly possessed Of a regular rifle. Many
| Of the little girls were also formed in
| companies, and marched under the
J command of captains and nearly every
boy and girl in the line carried a flag,
| which they waved continually making
a very pretty scene.
! Following the school children were
about thirty boys on wheels that had
| been decorated with bright colored
bunting and flags.
Gen. I. N. Walker, the speaker Of the
day, rode in carriage attended by
cx-Gov. Ramsey, Rev. DR.. Wright and
H. N. Davis, and following this car
riage came another carrying Gen. Ba-
con, Col. Triton, Col. Carey and Lieut..
| Leonhauser

pretty picture. The ladies that rode
