clubs In the parade. Their coloreQ UNI
brellas in the various man0euvres we're
| very attractive.
The Sewickley Republican Marching
Club was one of the big clubs that
made a fine appearance. The club was
uniformed in blue coats. white trousers
and white hats.
"A lot of our men dropped out up
town." was the yell given by nearly
every organization that spied the repor-
tiers along the route of the procession
on the South Side..
It was reported last night that al
most every hat band in the Clay dis
trict Rough Riders company is burst
ed, and that the two top buttons are
gone off every blouse.
The Lincoln Club, Of Pittsburg, evil
IDENTIFY wanted to be seen, for they car
ried behind them on a wagon white
calcium. with reflector turned directly
upon the marching ranks.
There were enough musicians in the
parading column of last night Tor an
army corps of forty thousand men. Just

they were not there OF their own voli-

Several clubs were forced to depart
Yesterday afternoon after the Roosevelt
speech on account of their being but
one train to their homes. Among these
were the clubs from Fairmont.
The Elkins Cadets and Six-Footers
were the home clubs that made good
showings. On their way down Market
street these clubs executed various
drills and formed very interesting f1g-
ures.
One enthusiastic Republican caught
Roosevelt by the hand in front OF the
Register Office, and held on with
death-grip for about one hundred feet,
to the great embarrassment of the can
didate.
The crowd got off the curb lines,
in accordance with the time honored
Wheeling custom, and spoiled the gen.
eral effect. Some of these days parades
will be regulated in Wheeling as in
other cities.
One of the features of yesterday was
the string of people at the lower yacht
on the Island side waiting for transpor-
tation across the river. The line ex-
tended for fully a distance OF 200 feet.
and the two yachts running were kept
busy.
1t took just six minutes for the
Wheeling clubs in the parade to pass
given point. This does not include the
E,kins Cadets and SiXFoot Club, both
OF which were in another division. All
the other people were from Ohio and
Pennsylvania
One member of the Tariff club, who
had been sleeping peacefully in the lob
by of the Mcclure since short time al
ter his arrival on the special, when
awakened by companions shortly before
midnight to take the train back nome,
remarked: III long ish't fore tn
prade schtarts?"
Several drunken men were very con-
spicuous in the afternoon parade. One
of these patriots, while the parade was
going up Market street, on the way to
the fair grounds, amused himself by
striking at men, boys and women in
Discriminatory. And every time he
aimed a blow he lost his balance.
The Pittsburg men marched well,
as the boys always do, but they were
handicapped by having to keep in col
umns of tours, owing to the disposition
of Wheeling spectators to pre-empt all
but about four feet Of the street upon
parade OCCASIONS.
Last night after the demonstration,
the Pittsburg Tariff Club quintette sang
several numbers in the Mcclure House
lobby, much to the entertainment of
the large crowd assembled. Their
voices in the choruses blended beauti-
fully. After the singing City Clerk
O'Brien, in a happy speech in his in
imitalble sayle, thanked the club for
their participation in the demonstra-
ton.
The people of Wheeling did their
star act again yesterday evening. They
crowded out over the pavements and
into the street, as is their custom when
there is a parade, and left but mar
row passageway for the parade to pass
through. Many Of the visiting clubs here
were crack drilling clubs, but were
prevented from drilling by the crowd,
who wanted to see all, but prevented
themselves from seeing the best of it.
The staff of Commsnder-in-Ch Chief
Baguley (Note.-Military grades impos-
ed this fall may 'oe made permanent at
the volition of the appointee. owing to
the rapid strides OF tae country towards
milrtarism under the present admins
tration Authority, Rulings OF Hanna,
the Supreme.) numbered about fifty,
and the solid front they presented was
warranted to frighten all anti-militar-
lists who beheld into the Republican
ranks.
