As the General came In view many Of the people
on the stands spoke Of the fact that his position
I'm the column showed that he acted as gram
marshal and not commanding officer OF the
New-York troops. and that II explained why ne
held out against the hg men OF the Army and the
Navy. but the cheers were In patches. and dls-
connected. except AS to the ADMIRAL. until the men
from the Olympia came. and then all who could
shouted and those who could not, because or the
Jumps that rose in their throats waved their mats
canes. flags. whatever they could lay hands ON
The men from all the big ships marched on
past the stand. where they salu;ed, out without
music That right" said old man who heard
a young girl grumble because there was no music
for the sailors Give the music 10 the men VINO
need It to help them march: those fellows DO well
enough without it, and they did. VINO careu
how they marched. how they looked, what they
did? They were the from the Texas the
New-York the Massachusetts,, the Indiana. the
Brooklyn and the Lancaster. and the people
seated IN the stands wanted to see them
that was all But that the vast audience
was an apprecatye one and knew no"
10 value perfect appearance was shown I'M
medlatcly after the sailors had passed the re-
viewing stand. when the men from West folhl
came into view There may be a finer body OF
young men somewhere on earth. but the peo-
pie who law the parade yesterday will not be
convinced OF the fact easily Every man. In spot
less trousers and snugy htting gray coat ana
the long peak cap looked and marched As
though he before his drlllmaster. The move

as those os They were probably the
only men in line who followed the command
strictly and looked straight ahead as they passed
the reviewing stand. The cadets marched with
short. quick step. and young girl who wore
Texas maitland and several army pins said: NO
wonder those fellows are good dancers hear that

The United States Engineers. who followed the
cadets gave an illustration Of the fact that an the
Regular Army organizations are not good march
Ing bodies. They looked poorly. and marched Ike
recruits Behind them came q battalion Of artil-
lery commanded 10y Iieutenart Colonel Mc'rea.
This body marched little t. iut not lik' th-
Regular organizations which .sro been seen I'm
Nov York ON former occasions. The band played
ractmo melody which was go catchy thar half
the people ON the reviewing stand tapped time
with their flags or with their feet but SIN the
men marched only fairly well.
But there was Ut;le t.mc 20 study the reason for
the poor marching for p new picture was being
