Cortelyou, Mayor Warwick and a few
members of the jubilee committee.
Mr.. Mckinley rose early this morn

parade. about seven miles In length.
The drive was. of course, marked by
incessant applause from the crowds

Commodore Philip. Captain Sigsbee.
Colonel Huntington. with his marines
OF Guantanamo fame, all received tu-
multous greeting. but after all perhaps
the loudest ovation was that given
Hobson and his Merrimac crew. They
rode on tally-ho. and as they reached
the reviewing stand all arose, faced
the president and bowed their barred
heads. So far as any body Of men was
perhaps the 21st regular in
fantry, THE Presidents own" re-
ceived the greatest tribute. They
marched 3G0 strong under Colonel Nc
Kibbsen. With them marched the
Fighting Musicians Of the regiment,
the men who. in the thick of the COM

allied military organizations. AS these |
ancient warriors filed past. with none |
too lusty step. they saluted the presi- |

their hats, others timorously raised |
their hands in the conventional way. |
while several companies halted. turned |
and fronting the chief executive. pre- |
sented the tattered battle flags. One |
