Golden Jubilee, the Veterans of the Mexican War and municipal and State officials.
 By virtue of the seniority of the colonelcy the Fifth Regiment of h. fantry, Colonel Fairbanks command ing, had the right of line and came inn mediately after General Warfield, com manding the Second Brigade, and his staff All the companies of the regi- ment not having been provided with full-dress uniform appeared in service uniform with fatigue hats and pre- sented a good appearance, showing the personnel of the regiment to be very fine one. This regiment experienced some little difficulty in falling into line at the start by reason of misunder- standing as to the position the com panies should occupy in the formation, and at the last moment it became ne cessary to march them up a side street in double time in order to enable them to assume their proper position. There was another difficulty. unlocked for. and that was the non-arFival of the horses provided for the mounted off cers These, however, turned up after the line was in motion, and the officers for whom they were selected had to do a little mounted gymnastics in order not to delay the column. The com panies of the regiment were r of Oak land, Captain Wenk. 56 men; G of Alameda, Captain Simpson, 50 men; Fl of Napa, Captain Bush. 45 men; D of San Rafael, Captain Elliott, 50 men; B

tery and Market streets. A few min utes later Colonel Smith, N. G. C., chief of staff of Grand Marshal Morse, ac- companied by Lieutenant Colonel Kos ter, rode up to the Federal commander Colonel Miller pointed down the street where the head of his approaching column was in view. The Third Artil lery came into position without delay or confusion.
 Lieutenant Colonel p. B. Williston, who commanded the regiment, pre- scented superb military figure. Decked in the full uniform of his corps, his stature, which is far above that of the ordinary man, was heightened by the red plume of the artillery. He sat erect on his fine horse. A murmur of delight ran through the ranks of spectators. Small boys approached the horse with a sense of timidity. and young ladies gazed at the veteran soldier with glances expressive of admiration. Colo nel Miller sent orders for the Third to march on up to Sansome street and wait until the column in the rear was closed up.
 Next in order came the First Infan- try, whose .regimental record is equal in renown to that of the gallant Third Artillery Colonel Evan Miles, post commander at the Presidio, wore his new eagles and displayed many of his decorations. gained in long service. Be side him rode his adjutant, First Lieu tenant Everett E.. Benjamin, at whom from the ferry to Van Ness avenue shot glances of sweet approval. First Lieutenant Leon $.

young men were attired in service uni- form and they were much praised for their neat soldierly appearace and splendid marching. There were com panies c, Captain Miller; F. Captain Jacomini: A, Captain Wigmore, and D, Captain Peart. In addition there was the signal division, numbering 72, com manded by Captain Ramsey, and the ed by Lieutenant Wagner. The boys from the university numbered in all 520. The bicycle corps, whenever the pavement permitted, gave an exhibi- tion of their skill in riding and keep ing in line, and wherever they could make such a showing their perform ance was noteworthy for it's precision. They were followed by the cadets of Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy, un- der command of their instructor, Lieu tenant George E. Sage, U. s, A. They were under the immediate command of their company commander Captain w. J. Hoggs, and numbered SO. They also presented as neat appearance. The last of the military portion of the sec tion was Troop A, Lieutenant M. Bur nett, recently elected captain, but not yet commissioned, commanding. The troop, mounted. turned out 45 men in fatigue uniform and made a good showing.
 Then followed a double line of ten carriages, in which rode forty-seven of the veterans of the Mexican war, sin gular coincidence forty men who fought in the war of AT. There were

crowds first began to assemble there was plenty of enthusiasm waiting for something to cause it to bubble over. But hours of waiting had dampened this ardor and the people were content to watch the spectacle in silence.
 Occasionally some particularly strik- ing feature would call forth a feeble expression of approval, but that was all.
 During the passage of the first part of the procession there was ample oppor- tunity to admire its attractions, but when it began to countermarch and the reviewing officers had taken station along the west side of the avenue, there was not room enough to accommodate the double column together with the people, and in consequence breaks be- came frequent, and at times the line became almost demoralized.
 When the head of the procession reached the reviewing point on the countermarch, a halt was made to en- able Lieutenant-Go Jeter, Grand Marshal Morse, Generals Barrett and Muller and their staffs, with the cav alcade of aids. to take up their posi- tions, and then the review began. It was noticed that the field music of the army, with the exception of the cav airy, did not give the customary salute This may have been according to regu- latlonS, but IL was in marked contrast to the Salutes of the National Guard drummers and buglers.
 One part of the parade that the spec tators stationed on mother streets missed, and which was probably the prettiest feature of the whole line. was the bat talion of public school girls. The boys had taken their position in line at the foot of Market street and marched the entire distance, while the girls formed on the avenue and fell in line in front of the boys as the procession turned off Market street. Dressed in dark blue with canvas white leggins and caps, the misses marched in company front" double rank, with a precision that was astonishing. Their alignment was perfect, they stepped in perfect time, and up and back the whole length of the avenue their marching was supe- rior to that of either the regular or vol unteer troops. It was remarkable that such a large number of girls could be so perfectly drilled in so short a time, and their appearance reflected great credit on their drillmaster.
 When the splendid band of the First Infantry, N. G. C., reached the review ing stand it wheeled out of line, and.

 ON ITS ROUTE.
Promptly at 10:30 O'Clock the Mounted Police Are Swung Into Line.

Promptly at 10:30 the platoon of mounted police that was to lead the parade swung into line on Sansome street at the corner of Market and stood ready for the word to march. It was in command of Corporal Shanahan.
 A few minutes later Chief of Police Lees, leading six platoons of police headed by Bennett's band. turned into Sansome street from Bush and halted close behind the mounted men. The six platoons were made up from Com panies A, B and c, in command of Captains Whitman, Spillane and Gillen respectively. Lieutenant BirdsaIl acted as aid to Chief Lees. They had no sooner taken their places when the word came from the Grand Marshal that the different divisions were in readiness for the parade and the word to march was given. As the mounted men swung into Market street at 10:45.

Turner, division commander of the entire militia. In carriages at the head Of the two divisions rode Cap tain Turner, Dr. Harris, Engineer OIfi- cer Kingsley, Ordnance Officer Burke and Signal Officer Smith.
 There were two divisions of the mill itia, the first commanded by First Lieutenant Dennis and the second by Lieutenant Gum. The men in the battalion numbered 40, and wore the uniform of the Jack Tars, brown leg gins, dark blue pantaloons, blue shirts, web belts and the regulation head covering. AS their Hotchkiss guns are on board of the Marion at Mare Island they turned out as infantry. They pre- sented a very cTeditable appearance. There was also in line the color guard and the hospital corps, with stretch CTS and the appliances that belong to it.
 After the boys who are to man the Marion came the battalion of univer- sity cadets, under command of Lieu tenant s. A. Colman, U. $. A. The

deal with. Their ambition was to en- croach over the curbstone and cheer the divisions of the parade as they went by. The soldiers were welcomed by a waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies along the line of march more than they were cheered. That, of course, was to be expected. The Celtic and German divisions came in for much or the enthusiasm that was displayed along the line. The Irishmen cheered their division and the Germans tried to outdo them, when their division came along Immediately after

the gallant captain.
 The first battalion of infantry was commanded by Lieutenant-C Colonel William H. Bisbee, and the second by captain L. Q. Parker. The light ar tillery battalion of the Third followed the infantry command. It was led by Major David H. Kinzie, and gained it's full share of Jubilee laurels. As the artillerymen rested on their eaissons, they had time to discuss the pretty girls on the floats and review pictur- eSque features of the forming process sion. Light Battery F was command ed by Captain Ramsey D. Potts and Light Battery c by Captain Joseph M. Calfff. The turnout of both batteries was splendid.
 The squadron of the Fourth United States Cavalry, commanded by Lieu tenant-ColOnel Louis T. Morris. was one of the inspiring features of the procession. The alignment of the respective troops, moving up Mar ket street, was excellent. The horses seemed to take as much pride as the men in the display. The yellow plumes or the cavalry were in, keeping with the dominant color of the day. Troop c was commanded by Captain Gale. Troop K by Captain Rodgers, Troop I by Lieutenant Charles T. Boyd and Troop B by Lieutenant John M. Neail. An ambulance, drawn by four mules followed the cavalry. It was the sen timent of the populace all along the line that the squadron of Uncle Sam's cavalry was not surpassed yesterday
 The foot batteries of the Third Ar tiilery and the companies of the First Infantry found the marching space foo narrow for company front order and so they marched in platoons. For ex- ample, the right of one platoon touched the north side of Market street and tbe left Of the platoon. immediately in rear, touched the south side of tba street The full space of the roadway was therefore kept open for the troons It was observed that citizens mani fested great respect for the regular

and quit only when exhausted. One Of them clapped his hands and promptly fell off his perch on the side of tele- graph pole, but damaged only the toes of an elderly gentleman, who forgot that he was not on the prairie or some other place where the feelings can be re- lieved through the mouth.
 The Native Sons got their full share of the adulation. Richard J. Mier and Dr. Siberst of Stanford Parlor were in it." especially with the female contin- gent The Jubilee Queen received the best compliment of all. The suscepti- ble portion of the youth present drew in their breaths and only looked. looked until she was nearly by, and then yelled. From the ladies there was a chorus of "Ohs," and "Ahsi" and Isn't she sweet?" Henry Lichenstein, holding on. with both legs clinched tightly against his fiery charger s sides, graced Olympus Parlor in the march, and was applauded like the good fellow he is admitted to be.
 The coming of the Native Daughters, snowy-robed and smiling at their re- ception, was heralded by shouts be- fore they were at Ellis street. Where are the Native Daughters?" had been the one question before that
 The advent of the Ancient Order of Hibernians was greeted with a round of cheers and good natured references to incidents of Irish history Tom Sharkey, fighter, mounted a rail at this juncture in order to see better.

into the Mercantile Library until every window was filled with eager sight seers. Still others provided themselves with chairs and homemade benches which they planted or the sidewalks and mounted in blissful ignorance as to the convenience of their fellows
 Soon the enterprising owners of ex- press wagons drove up, their vehicles provided with boards laid across the tops of the boxes, ready to accommo- date those who preferred to part with a quarter to being jostled by the throngs. These wagons were drawn up across Golden Gate avenue on both sides of Van Ness, completely closing the street and leaving no space for the reviewing officers except along the curb.
 By 10 o'clock the crowds had grown to such proportions that passage along the sidewalks was a slow and difficult proceeding and pedestrians took to the roadway in preference. Mothers were there in plenty standing uncomplain- fngly for hours with infants in their arms, while the older hopefuls saw and were seen from coigns of vantage on paterfamilias' shoulders.
 During the morning hours the sun shone brightly and there was just enough breeze to make the atmosphere bracing, but with the coming of the duNdlce SudIu ClOuuS ODScuIeu tne sun, stiff north wind whistled down the broad avenue and the teeth of the spectators rattled a long roll that the biggest drum corps in the procession could not have discounted. Noses as sumed a purple tint, hands sunk deeper into overcoat pockets and handker- chiefs were made to do duty as mufflers, but nobody thought of going home; on the contrary, the crowd was constantly augmented.
 Just at noon a glimmer of bright uniforms was seen turning into the avenue from Market street, and a shout went up, Here they come"
 Five minutes later Chief Lees and his splendid body of police swung past. Beyond that first shout there was little noise. Had it been two hours earlier there would have been shouts and cheers for everybody, for when the
