by the chief marshal, and the column
turned from Chestnut to Congress street
headed by City Marshal Sylvester with
Policemen Henderson and Quinn on
either side. all of whom were mounted,
and followed by a platoon of nine police
officers in charge of H. P. Smith.
The American Cadet band of 20 pieces
under the leadership of c. L. Higgins,
struck up lively military march by
Apelles and the parade took up its march.
When the last section of this division had
reached Congress street, the scene was
indeed an inspiring and brilliant one.
The quiet and subdued uniforms of the
United States troops mingling with the
gorgeous scarlet of the Royal Scots. and
the regulation navy blue of the sailor
boys with tie white trousers and spotless
belts of the High School Cadets, afforded
varied and picturesque sight.
The personal appearance of all of the
commands was exceptionally good, and
their military and naval bearing was q
subject OF the warmest praise from every
one. The sailor boys marched with an
easy, jaunty swing and their alignments
were admirably kept The High School
Cadets never looked better nor moved
with more precision. The Connecticut
Volunteers impressed every spectator
by their steady march and fine military
showing and gave evidence of that drill
and discipline incident to camp life
in time of war. They were neat and trim,

line the command broke from column of
platoons to column of tours with an ac-
curacy which called out the loudest ap-

some well known Scotch melody the en-
thusiasm seemed almost unbounded.

guests moved from the column and took
position in the square. Here the parade
was reviewed by Gov. Powers, officers
saluting and men presenting arms as
they passed by, while the pipers played
most effectively yankee Doodle to the
great delight of the crowd.
