WORTHY OF THE
NATIONS HERO
Continued from Page One,


the seamens roll nor the iandmen's
tread, but a combination. The men o1
plause. The provisional brigade of the
army lacked the confident, easy step for
which army veterans are noted. This
perhaps is accounted for by the fact
that most of the United States army
veterans are serving this country on
the other side of the world and those
now here are only rockies They
were preceded by battalion of the
: West Point cadets in their snowy uni
forms of gray, with white duck trous-
ers, moving like one man, 800 legs NOV
ing like clockwork, every cap and
4 bayonet in perfect line.
Cheers for Roosevelt.
Governor Roosevelt, riding a spirited
black horse at the head of the National
Y Guard of the state of New York, and
surrounded by brilliantly uniformed
officers, received" hearty and continu-
Gus ovation from one end of the line
+ to the other. He was in civilian attire
and wore silk hat, that is, when he
7 had 1t on, as he was removing it right
5 and left for more than half the time.
He was escorted by troop A, whose
plumes, rising and falling with the
moving of the horses, beautified a
block. The artillery seemed more real
than the infantry or cavalry and the
Z commander of the 7th light artillery
I. gave the people an exhibition, getting
his battery at a gallop and charging
down the street, the horses plunging
and cannon wheels rumbling like roll
ing thunder. The crowd gave whirl-
wind of applause. The National Guards
of all the states made a brilliant show
ing and were evidently proud Of their
appearance and of the reception they
received. .#
Reviewed the Parade.
Before Madison square was reached
Admiral Dewey and the reviewing
party, in carriages, passed the front of
the procession and alighted at the re-
viewing stand, opposite Twenty-sixth
street, and took their places in the
boxes, hung with laurel Wreaths, that
had been reserved for them.
All about Madison square the decora-
tions charmed the admiral. Flags on
wires ram from the tall tower of the
Madison Square garden and all the
facades as far as the eye could see up
and down Fifth avenue were brilliantly
arrayed with bunting and flags. The
national streamers flew from the cor
nices and a thousand box kites floated
high In the blue sky. Here the admiral
reviewed the entire parade.
Only one distressing incident occurred
within his view. A wire had been
stretched across the space between two
or the stands in the park The awful
press of people broke it and they surged
Into the avenue. those in front power
less to resist the pressure of the thou
sands in the rear. The police could not
stem the tide, which promised to impede
the entire parade. Suddenly a half hun
dred mounted policemen galloped up
and. having formed line, charged and
showed the people back. Many women
and children were caught in the crush.
Some shrieked others tainted and sew
eral, after the panic was over, were
carried away in ambulances.
Tonight the smoker given at the
Waldorf-Astoria to the sailors of the
Olympia concluded New. York's wonder
full reception of Admiral Dewey and his
men.
There was an elaborate display of
kite flying during the review. Suspend
ed Immediately over the reviewing
stand and at a great height was an
immense American flag held by five
kites Another line of kites held a se-
ries of pennants in the national colors,
while other lines held flags and stream
ers of various sorts. The wind was
Just strong enough and the sunlight
sufficient to bring out most beautiful
effect. Admiral Dewey noticed the flags
and expressed himself as we'll pleased
with the display. While the 56th regi-
ment of Buffalo was passing Admiral
Dewey complained of being chilled and
his coat was handed to him.
The 22d regiment made a fine appear
ance and several times the adr iral re-
moved his chapeau as they passed.
Kisses for the Seventh.
Everybody was speculating as to the
reception of the 7th regiment at the re-
viewing stand. 1t was more cordial
vlrcc g,S-
as the regiment passed the stand and
some derisive calls, but the cheering At
this point was easily the loudest. At
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue the
7th was hissed. The people in the
Netherland, Savoy and Plaza hotels
cheering. The members of the regiment
looked neither to the right nor to the
left, but marched slowly on.
The list regiment was cordially wei
coined. The admiral took off his hat
to the command as it passed. The ma
val militia of the state troops made
magnificent display. The old guard re-
splendant in white coat, blue trousers
and bearskin shakos, closed the New |
York state display.
The Pennsylvania troops received |
royal welcome when they reached the |
reviewing stand. Somebody in the state |
proposed three cheers for Pennsylvania |
u. |
They were given with a will. rhe |
lived up to their ma
tiona1 reputation as soldiers so far as |
their appearances was concerned. Two |
companies of colored troops among the |
Quakers received much applause as |
they passed. The greatest applause |
given to any OF the military organiza-
tions was accorded to the crack 10th |
Pennsylvania regiment, which got back |
from the Philippines a short time |
ago.
Admiral Dewey uncovered to the col
ors and nodded his head sympathetic /
cally. The men marched as veterans
should. and while every man in the |
regiment wanted to see Dewey, it was
not discipline and the regiment
marched as one man straight ahead,
"eyes front"
: The New Jersey troops followed these
from Pennsylvania and were mag
nificent body of men, as fine as any in
the column.
Cheers for Georgia.
