informed that the Naval Cadets have been
ordered here from Annapolis, the full
strength Of the corps to be represented.
The cadets will undoubtedly be accom-
panied by the officers of the navy on line
duty ct Annapolis, and will also bring the
Naval Academy Band, under Mr. Zimmer-
mann.
1t is definitely assured that the cadets
from West Point will be in line, orders
to that effect having been issued to the
ccmmandant there. The Military Academy
Band will also be brought along.
The interest that will be aroused by the
participation Of the cadets of the two
branches of martial service of the United
States cannot be overestmated. The dis
play made by the West Pointers in their
| uniforms of military gray will be brilliant.
Marching and maneuvering are right In
their line. The boys from the navy institu-
ton will be clothed in their modest uni
forms of deep blue. They, too, are adopts
In military practices, for in addition to
their sea training they are put through a
thorough course of military instruction, in
cluding the manual of arms and all field
movements.
The cadets will undoubtedly prove one
of the biggest and most attractive features
OF the entire parade. When Gen. f. V.
Greene was appointed grand marshal Of
the pageant by Senator Hanna, he deter
mined at once to make an effort to secure
the attendance of the cadet corps from An
napolis and West Point He has been en-
thusiaStic in his work in that direction
and elected the hearty support Of the War
and Navy departments. 1t is thought that
at the Inauguration the people Of the coun-
try will have their best opportunity of see
ing the soldiers and sailors in training for
commissions at the national institutions.
At no other time, perhaps, could the cadets
appear before throngs more thoroughly rep
resentative of the nation. The naval cadets
