LAuRELS FROM IRELAND.
GREETINGS FROM THE IRISH SOCIETY.

Skillfully evadpg several officers who made
motions as II to block her off the girl made her
way straight to the Admiral and maneuvred
TO attract his attention Mayor Van WICK did
his best to ward her off but the Admiral saw
her and leaned over toward her. She reached
up and handed the wreath to him and said
something In q low tone. Dewey smiled
pleasantly. bowed his thanks and stretching
out his arm shook hands with her. and she re-
turned to her place ON the opposite stand al-
most purple with delight.
A moment later a woman who had seat in
the reviewing stand near the top sent down to
Admiral Schley bouquet Of orchids. for which
he bowed his acknowledgements.
IMPRoMp1U MANGUyRE BY THE sIxTY-FIFTH.
Meantime the Fourth Brigade was passing In
command OF Brigadier-Gen. Peter G. Doyle. and
Admiral Dewey. whatever else might be ocou-
pying his attention. always had one eye on the
troops and never failed to return the salutes Of
the officers. In this brigade were the Fourth
Signal Corps. acting as eacort. the Sixty-ffth
aud Seventy-fourth regiments from Buffalo,
and a provisional regiment made up OF sepa-
rate com anies from up the State. While pass
ing the reviewing stand the Sixty nth ex-
ecuted u strategic man9uvre that was not in
the orders. Just across from Admiral Dewey
was a waterplpe near the opposite
stand put In there In case OF fire
on any Of the adjacent stands. and
this pipe took occasion to burst as the Sixty
fifth was passing in good order. It was sur
rounded by a dozen street cleaners who got
the first force Of the water. but when they scat
tered. as they did very hastily. the squirting
streams fell In shower upon the line OF march
ing soldiery. Without hesitation they execut-
ed an effective II not graceful slant to the rights
and they did it in an unaffected and prompt
manner that brought smile to Deweys lips as
he turned to the Mayor and said something
about the American soldier knowing enough TO
get out OF an undesirable position without
waiting 10 be told how 10 do 1t.
Somebody plugged up the pipe and the Third
Brigade which came next marched past with
out having to dodge Brigadier-Gen. Robert
Shaw Oliver was in command and he had as
escort tho Third Signal Corps His regiments
were the Second. Third and provisional regi-
ment. all made up OF separate companies. The
rear OF the brigade was brought up by the
Sixth Battery. which seemed to be q popular
exhibit with the crowd.
TURN OF THE MANHATTAN TROOPS.
Then came Manhattan's own troops. begin

Coskry Butt commanding. with Il detachment
OF the First Signal Corps as escort. Behind
them camo the Twenty second Regiment. with
Col. Franklin Bartlett leading. Their brilliant
red coats and gay caps made them a notable
spectacle as far up the avenue as they could be
seen. and the stands received them with great
enthusiasm. Col Bartlett. who Is personal
friend Of Dewey's and was his guest dur
ing the naval parade and review OF the pre-
vious day. saluted. OF course only as any other
commanding officer would salute the review
ing officer and Dewey responded in kind. 30

the Admiral after the formal salute lifted his
