The National tribune., 1900-09-06

After the small Departments of Arkansas,
New Mexico, Washington and Alaska,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Idaho, Texas, Ari-
zona, and the rest, Illinois, with 1000 men
in solid rank, wound up the procession.
There were many other features of the
procession which might be mentioned, and
which will long be remembered by those
who saw it. There was Gilbert Post, Do
wagiac, Mich, with its drum corps of
16 ten-year-old boys. There were the SUI
gar canes carried by louisiana the splen-
did Columbia Post of Chicago, and the
battle flags from Buffalo-all these and
many other things made up one of the
grandest spectacles Chicago, the city of
great sights, ever witnessed, or ever will
again.
a careful estimate put the number Of
men in line at 10000 and the number of
spectators at round million.
Below will be found for future reference
the route of the parade and the official
order of march which was strictly carried
out. 1t is believed that there was no De
partment or Post missing or out of place,
but that all moved in accordance with the
stipulated arrangement, and while to ac-
complish this result the veterans were
obliged to stand in line an hour longer
than they should have done and the pa
radc was b minutes late in starting, still
the Committee Of Arrangements and those
in charge. both i'll and out of the Order,
felt a certain sense Of qualification in hav-
ing the pageant pass off as it had been
planned.
