The veterans faced the carriage as it
drove by and saluted the President.
There was continuous cheering from
the crowds as he drove along.
Less than thirty-five minutes were
consumed in the journey. During it's

board used TO rest his leg was uncom-

and Geological Park, but kept clear of

men in her column. but they marched
bravely along abreast, having their
