The record-union., 1899-10-01

1t took twenty minutes to get the
Admiral and the other distinguished
guests and the committee from. the
fOrty-two carriages in which they rode.
Another ten minutes were devoted to
luncheon and informal talk, ard then
the sailors from the Olympia, headed
by Sousa and his band, playing THE
Stars and Stripes Forever, marched
by the stand. Next came the marines
from the Olympia, followed by another
detachment of Olympia jackies, draw
ing quick firing 1-pounder. Two old
men, gray and grizzled, held to the
cords, and none marched more proudly
than they.
The West Point Cadets, in their gray
and white uniforms, came next. Their
marching was superb. AS their colors
passed the Admiral uncovered
The regulars came next. AS they
marched by General Merritt stepped
up with the Admiral and Mayor Van
Wyck and remained standing until the
regulars had passed. While the regu-
lars were going by someone over the
Hoffman House sent a beautiful bunch
of orchids to the Admiral. He received
it graciously, and, turning about, re-
edgments.
There was battalion of mounted ar
stillery with several huge siege guns.
The mass of artillerymen marched as
infantry, and showed to a slight ad-
vantage as such. The Light Artillery
brought UP the rear as regulars.
Then way down the line a burst of
cheers announced the coming of Gov
ernor Roosevelt. The Governor was
attended by his staff. He was not in
uniform. Following came Squadron A,
led by the Squadron's band, mounted.
Then came the Twenty-third Regi-
ment of Brooklyn and the Fourteenth
Regiment.
While the Second Regiment was
passing Admiral Schley, accompanied
by Captain Coghlan, Levi P. Morton
and Senator Depew, left the reviewing
stand and proceeded along the line to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel Admiral
Schley was watched with eager inter
est by the crowd, and until he passed
out of sight he was loudly cheered.
He seemed a great favorite.
There was an elaborate display of kite
flying during the review. Suspended
and at a great hight was an immense
American flag held by five kites. An
other line of kites held a series of pen
nants in the national colors. while
other lines held flags and streamers of
various sorts.
The wind was just strong enough and
the sunlight sufficient to bring out a
most beautiful effect. Admiral Dewey
noticed the flags, and expressed him
self as we'll pleased with the display.
While the Sixty-fifth Regiment of
Buffalo was passing Admiral Dewey
complained of being chilled, and his
coat was handed to him.
The Twenty-second Regiment made
a fine appearance, and several times
the Admiral removed his chapeau as
they passed by.
Everybody was speculating as to the
reception of the Seventh Regiment at
the reviewing stand. 1t was more cor
dial than expected. There was some
kissing 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 Seventh was hissed.
People in the Netherland, Savoy and
Plaza Hotels cheered, but the Kisses
rose above the cheering The mem
bers of the regiment looked neither to
the right nor to the left, but marched
stolidly on.
The Seventy-frst Regiment was cor
daily welcomed. The Admiral took
| off his hat to the command as it
passed.
The Naval Militia of the State troops
made magnificent display
The Old Guard, resplendent in white
coat, blue trousers and bearskin
shakos. closed the New York State dis
| play.
The Pennsylvania troops received a
royal welcome when they reached the
State and reviewing stands. The great
est applause given to any of the mill
tary organizations was accorded to the
crack Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment,
which got back from the Philippines a
short time ago. This regiment marched
in the regular khaki uniform which
they wore during their service before
Manila. The colors. torn to tatters,
| set the crowd wild with enthusiasm.
| Admiral Dewey uncovered to the col
| ors and nodded his head Sympatheti-
cally. The men marched asAveterans
| 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
those from Pennsylvania, and were a
magnificent body of men, as fine as
| any in the column. Governor VOORHEES,
/ did not march at the head of the New
| Jersey troops. With his staff he stood
in front of the State stand, opposite
| Admiral Dewey, while his troops went
| by. New Jersey had two Naval Re-
serve battalions and one troop of cav
| airy in line.
! Next to the reception to the Tenth
Pennsylvania was that to the Georgia
| troops, who marched by with State
| and National colors flying to the tune
of Dixie" They were loudly cheered.
| The Connecticut troops were a pic
turesque lot. Several companies wore
the brilliant uniform of colonial days
There were also two companies awheel
| Just after the Georgia troops began
passing the reviewing stand Admiral
| Dewey sat down for the first time, and
remained seated moment or two.
Connecticut had one of the largest
bodies of troops in line.
Maryland was well represented with
it's Dandy Fifth commanded by
Colonel Frank Marcoe. This State had
