Fifteen Thousand People Attended Liberty Park Exercises
Addresses and Music.

Never before has Liberty park seen
such sweltering and tumultuous mass
of humanity as crowded 1t all during
yesterday afternoon to listen TO the
ceremonies in honor of the return of
the volunteers. Every walk and road
in the park was thronged, the grass
plots and flower beds were overrun.
The admoniion to keep off the grass
was unheeded. The attendants and po-
lice did not even make an effort to con-
fine the public to the gravel walks and
roads. for such an effort would have
been useless. it

DEWEY OF THE ARMY"
Major Grant Spoke Briefly and Pre-
scented the Flags.

Major Grant responded to the ad-
dress of welcome, and when General
Penrose introduced him as the Dewey
of the army" there was a mighty
shout. Il want to present TO you
man whom the F'ilipinos know and

But the major was quite modest in
appearance. In fact ne seemed little
abashed by the great reception. Dur
ing the first moments he was somewhat
strained and he spoke very briefly as
follows:
We left the Philippine islands few
weeks ago. All the way home we We're

Formation of Parade.


The formation of the military section
of the parade was well planned, and
reflects much credit upon the grand
marshal General William H. Penrose
of the United States army, his adju-
tants, Major w. H. Bird and Captain
F. NJ. Bishop, and the aides-de-camp,
Richard L. Colburn, +. L. Carpenter,
George f. Blair, George H. Naylor, j.
w. Mulveney and James w. McHenry.
The parade formed in the depot yards,
with Chief Hilton and Captains Chase,
Palmer, Williams, Eddington, Simp-
son, Roberts, Sperry, Emery, Lincoln
and Smith at the head, mounted, who
won credit because of the tact and good
temper with which they opened a way
through the crowd at different points
along the line. Following these came
General .Penrose and his adjutantS and
aides, as named above These officers
were all well mounted and uniformed
to designate their positions.
Next in order came the First regi-
ment band of twenty-four pieces, I'M
der the leadership of l.. P Christen-
sen. presenting a fine appearance in
their nobby uniforms. When the train
pulled in with the boys on board, this
band struck up America" sending a
thrill through the entire crowd
Troop C, Regulars.
Troop c, Ninth United States cav

mand of Lieutenant C. P. White. There
We're eighJy-tWo men in this company,
besides G. Z. Williams, William Rho
ton. CebrOn Greenwood and Isaac
Stokes. who served as orderlies to
General Penrose. The color-bearer of
Troop c was Sergeant Erwine, who
was badly wounded in the charge at
San Juan hill. This troop aroused en-
thusiasm by their soldierly bearing and
fine Craftsmanship.
Following came the First regiment,
e. n. G., under command of Colonel
NJ. A. Richie. The different divisions
were in charge of Lieutenant II. II.
Lund. Captain a. A. Smith and Lieu
tenant Smeltzer of the First battalion.
There were four companies in line I'M

men in all, and the regiment never ap-
peared to better advantage.
G. &. R. Veterans.
Then came the veterans of the civil
war; under command OF Colonel NJ. NJ.
Kaighn. Maxwell post, G.. A R., I'M
der Commander William Owen, and
Mexican post, under command of Ma
jor Stanton. Each veteran carried
flag. and many were in the old blue
uniforms. Captain c. r. Berry wore
coat that he wore in five battles in the
rebellion thirty-five years ago. None in
the whole line were more enthusiastic
than these old veterans, and none out
side Of the volunteers aroused more en-
thusiasm. They were led by Stanton's
fife and drum corps, and pretty Edith
Stanton, attired as the Goddess of Lib
ertv, led the band. There were 102
veterans in line. besides the band.
Company K, United States volunteer
engineers, with Captain f. ]. Mills in
command, came next, with twenty-five
men in line, neatly uniformed in white
and blue. and keeping perfect time to

characteristic ugh grade and created
much enthusiasm ali along the line of
march.
Next in line was the Elks' lodge, of

hearted admirer shouted until his face
grew purple at sight of the l05- members
elegantly clad in linen busters and silk
hats. Joe EnZensperger and NJ. b.

many honors with becoming modesty.

in upon them to greet them and cheer
them on. 1t was Hello, Joe,' Hello,

and bent forms.
Interesting Features.
A feature that attracted universal at
tention and caused many a shudder
among the fair ones was Lieutenant
