FEATU RES OF THE FETE


Admiral Dewey as he, at the head of a
military and civic parade, was driven
through the downtown business streets of
the city over a line of march that extended
for over four miles. From a raised and
beautifully decorated dais in the grand stand
erected on the Jackson boulevard side of
the new federal building the admiral re-
viewed the parade, in which nearly 100
different military and civic organiza tions
from all parts of the state participated. and
which included veterans of three wars, the
Mexican, the civil and the SpaniSh-Amer-
can; a squad of sailors who were with the
admiral at the battle of Manila bay two
years ago and marching clubs of the politi-
cal parties. Everywhere the admiral, in
the full dress uniform of his rank as au-
miral of the navy, was greeted cordially by
the densely packed throngs of people along
the route.
Route of the Procession.
Notwithstanding its immense length and
the great number of organizations taking
part the parade was started almost exactly
on schedule time, IL o'clock. Admiral
Dewey, accompanied by Mayor Carter Har-
rison and Charles A. Plamondon. were
driven to the starting point of the parade,
Michigan avenue and 22d street, shortly be-
fore that hour, and a few moments later
the order was given to start. The route
lay up Michigan avenue to Randolph street,
west to State street, south to Adams street,
west to Dearborn, north to Randolph street,
west to LaSalle street. south to Monroe
street, west to Market street, south to
Jackson boulevard, thence east past the
reviewing stand, where Admiral Dewey and
his escort alighted from their carriage and
from the grand stand reviewed the parade.
Pleasing Features.
All along the line of march the big office
buildings and business blocks were ablaze
with flags and bunting, gathered in fes-
toons or stretched in long folds from roof
to ground. while from numberless fagpoles
and windows the national colorS futtered
in the fresh breeze, with here and there
the dark blue of the admrals flag.
A chorus of 300 young women. dressed
in white and blue, were seated on the
steps of the Art Institute, grouped to form
the letters of Dewey's name in blue. AS
the admiral was slowly driven by. the
chorus, amid tluttering handkerchiefs Of
blue and white, sang patriotic songs, the
admiral smiling and bowling to the singers
until his carriage was far beyond the big
building.
