GOV. YATES DOES HIMSELF PROUD:
THOSE COMPOSING ILLINOIS PARTY

( Others contented themselves with
more or less perfunctory salutes.
Laughter and quiet sarcasm were
aroused by the awkward salutes or
forgetfulness of some of the govern
ors. and when the young governor of
Illinois, superbly mounted, came
along he made superb, carefully de-
signed salute that brought approval
from the president and others on the
stand.
With Mrs. Richard Yates in the re-
viewing stand, near the treasury
building, were Mrs. David w. Ross,
Mrs. Charles l. Walker. of Rock Is
land, Mrs. w. ID. Washburn, Mrs. l..

Mrs. John Dadie, of Chicago; Miss
Kathryn Robertson, of Jacksonville,
and Miss Jessie Dimmick, of Chicago.
As Gov. Yates appeared around the
corner of the treasury building with
his brilliant company of colonels,
there was great stir in the big re-
viewing stand. The demonstration
which followed equaled that shown to
such heroes as Admiral Dewey, Gen.
Miles and the great soldiers and sail
ors who had already passed the stand.
The women of the Illinois party cast
long-stemmed roses over the heads of
spectators below, the multitude in the
stand entered into the spirit of the
impromptu ovation, and cries of
"Illinoisi'' "Illinois.p started by those
who recognized the governor, were
caught up and carried along block by
