WAS HOODWINKED
Nev-York again manifested last night the
great affection she has for her volunteer SOL
diers The enthusiasm which has frequently
been lavished upon the soldiers and sailors re-
turning to this city from the front in no way
detracted from the welcome extended TO the Sth
Regiment when they came marching home. Late
the hour when the men landed In this
city. their line OF march from the Twenty-,hird-
st. ferry to their srmory at Ninety -fourthst
ard Park-ave. was lined on either side with
cheering crowds sometimes fully ten or twelve
deep. and the greater part Of these crowds had
been waiting to meet the men Of The Sth from
as carly as or o'clock in the afternoon.
Along the streets through which the regiment
passed there We're in almost every house illu-
limitations of some kind or other. There were
displays Of fireworks at frequent intervals too.
and the burning Of coored lights was nearly
continuous during the whole journey. But more
than these outward semb.ances Of applause the
soldiers probably appreciated the cordality or
the welcome home voiced ip the cheering
rlaudits Of their fellow-ctizens While the boys
Of the Sth have not been fortunate enough
10 get a chance to show their worth IN
battle they were nevertheless assured thst
their readiness TO serve their country IN
the time Of her need had not gone
forgotten or unsppreciated by their own people

that the regiment as whole, was in such
bad state as might have been the case While
IT is true that all the had the appearance
Of being worn and weary. and While many bore
signs Of emaciatior az If suffering from an IN
suflciency of food that part Of the regiment
which walked from the Twentythird-st. ferry
to the armory marched with a firm and SWING
ing step and with an energy OF bearing mat

their home coming had much to do with the
buoyant attitude Of the men. no doubt. As one
of them was heard to say in crossing the North
