ex-Prisoners of War Association, Vet
Grams Of the Civil War not connected
| with any of the organizations and Vet
Grams of the Spanish American War,
with Colonel John Jacob Astor, his
staff and the Astor Battery.
Then followed camps of volunteers
of the Spanish-American war the par
ade terminating with a Heterogeneous
following of veterans, military and
! quasi-military associations.
When the Admiral reached the par
ade starting point it was all the police
could do to keep the crowd from over
running his carriage. Bands all about
started up Hail to the Chief" until a.
| hundred bands were playing it, but the
air could be heard only once in awhile,
for the tremendous cheering.
! Governor Roosevelt followed the Ad-
mirals carriage to the starting point,
and took up a position near by. The
Admirals carriage, drawn by four
| horses, was driven to the head of the
| line.
AS the parade got in motion the
crowds applauded with all their might
| the 250 men from the Olympia.
Those are the boys who did the
trick shouted greybearded man, and
this sentiment met with the full agree
ment of the throng, who took up the
shout. The cheers of the Olympia's S
sailors were still resounding down the
closely packed lines of spectators when
a deeper and mightier shout arose, and
was taken up and prolonged in one
thunderous wave of sound as Admiral
Dewey's carriage, in which was Mayor
| Van Wyck, followed his 'men behind
the guns" bowling and smiling with
barred head to the shouting multitude.
1t was memorable passage Of the
victor of Manila from the tomb of the
/ triumphal arch, erected in his own
honor.
The Captains of the ships in the fight
at Manila were cheered heartily as
they passed, Captain Coghlan receiving
perhaps a slightly larger share than
the others, frequent shouts of 'Hoch
der Kaiser" greeting his appearance,
while his brother officers joined in the
laugh the shout always provoked
| Admiral Sampson was cordially re-
ceived by the crowd, and was repeated
/ ly cheered. Richard Croker and Sena-
/ tor Depew, in a carriage together, were
applauded all along the line.
| Quite a demonstration in honor of
Rear Admiral Schley was made at the
starting point, and the cheers for him
almost equalled those given to Dewey.
He was kept busy lifting his hat and
bowling an acknowledgement of the
ovation he received.
Rear Admiral Philip was also re-
ceived warmly. His admonition to his
men at the battle of Santiago "Don't
cheer, boys, they are dying" uttered
when the Spanish fleet was wrecked
and sinking, was shouted at the bowling
Admiral time and time again.
Admiral Dewey arrived at the re-
viewing stand at Madison Square at
/ 40 o'clock. The enthusiasm and
cheers that greeted his appearance
We're tremendous. Several times the
crowds nearly broke through the police
| lines in their wild endeavor to get near
| the Admiral. The police had expected
| the rush, and succeeded in blocking 1t.
i On Seventy second street a number
/ of school-children onsa stand built es-
pecially for them began to sing as the
head of the parade approached. They
first struck up in childish treble I'm
! furl the Starry Banner"
When the sailors of the Olympia were
seen with Admiral Dewey, the children
/ arose and sang Hail. the Conquering
Hero Comes" The song was deliv-
cred with good deal of vim, the chill
dren beating the time with their flags.
As Admiral Dewey saw and heard the
children, he rose from his seat and
/ bowed his head. The children stopped
singing. One little girl tried to throw
him a rose, but it fell short. A po-
liceman picked it up and handed it to
the Admiral who kept waving his hat
at the children. The carriage stopped
for a short time, and Admiral Dewey
threw a kiss to the children, who began
cheering and throwing kisses.
The carriage containing Dewey
moved on. and the enthusiasm, which
had been at fever heat, subsided lit
/ tie. The Rear Admirals and officers
were cheered by the children. Rear
Admiral Sampson was cheered by the
! crowd.
The children We're singing "The Star
! Spangled Banner" when the carriage
/ containing Rear Admiral Schley came
/ UP. The crowd became frantic, Schley
/ was OD1Seu 10 Sldhu III Aio S1A
riage He, like Dewey, waved his
! chapeau at the children, and the
crowd went wild over him. The carri-
age of Schley stopped for few min
utes and during that time perfect
storm Of applause greeted him.
/ Sir Thomas Upton was given an ova-
ton at Fifty second street, and was OBJ
/ liged to stand up in his carriage.
When the Admiral heading the par
ade reached Forty-second street
deafening roar of applause went up
that must have shaken the foundation
of what is left of the old reservoir.
General Miles and Rear Admirais
Sampson and Schley all came in for
their share of the applause. youne
man rushed up to the carriage in which
Schley was seated, and climbing to the
carriage step, extended his hand to
the Rear Admiral, who grasped 1t
warmly.
The mounted police, commanded by
Chief Devery and heading the parade,
passed the reviewing stand at 40 p.
M. They were considerably in advance
of the carriages containing the Admiral
and distinguished visitors. The first
squad of police was in the shape of a
flying wedge.
! At,1:57 the Admiral was in the stand
Captain Coghlan and Captain Wildes
Joined him a moment later, the crowd
cheering like mad The first thing the
Admiral did was to take off his hat in
acknowledgment of the crowds greet
