Myriads Of People Cheer the Many Features of =
 the Parade.

OAKLAND, July 4.-TheFee were prob ably more people in this city to-day than have ever been within its limits at any one time. The many features arranged for public diversion attracted crowds from everywhere and the general rejoicing was more pronounced than for years.
 The street parade depended largely for its success upon the troops which came over here to tatke part in the sham bat tie and also from Camp Barrett. A line of march was. forced through the enor- nous crowds on the streets and unlike most parades the grand marshal started it on time The troops from San Fran cisco arrived on the Garden City at Broadway wharf and consisted of 1000 men of the First Montana Regiment: The battalion from the. Eighth California Vol unteers came in on the electric cars and both regiments were in position when the grand marshal signaled for the start.
 Chief of Police Fletcher, resplendent in gold lace and fully aprpeciating the fact that this was the first public occasion on which he rode at the head of procession in his official capacity, commanded a de- tachment of police, and for his aids had Captains Wilson and Carson, Sergeant Green and Detective Hodgkins.
 The Grand Marshal and a cavaleade of aids headed the troops The hrSt division was composed of Company A, Fifth tn- from Montana. The approach of the troops. was the signal for cheering from 50s900 throats, which was kept up at inter vals during the whole line of march. The regimental band from Montana, consist ing of thirty-four pieces, led the way, and the splendid appeafance of the sun-burned fellows attracted great admiration. At it's head was carried the colors of the reg fmept. and wherever it went it was the occasion for cheering.
