idan, which participated in the grand
review at the close of the Civil war,
again passed up the historic Pennsyl.
vania avenue during the day. The
survivors of the bronzed, black-haired
legions who marched twenty-four
abreast before President Johnson,
with flowers in the muzzles Of their
guns and with the victory and tho
hope of the future shining in their
faces, have become old, white-haired
men with their active service behind
them. The ten years that have
elapsed since the former review of the
Grand Army here in 1892 have dec
mated the ranks of the old heroes.
Most of the prominent figures in the
parade on that memorable occasion,
have gone to their last bivouac. But
those who still remained trudged val
iantly to the sound Of drum and fife.
Proudly aloft they held their tattered
battlefags and the vast, multitude
through which they passed, seeing in
the thinned ranks visions of the bat
tlefields, greeted them with cheers
that fairly drowned the blare of the
bands. 81
The air was filled with golden sun
shine and the light breeze out Of the
west was just strong enough to give
life to the gorgeous decorations and
keep the flags tugging at their hal.

not to move until 10 o'clock the

lining the sidewalks and oyerflowing

were black with people. bugles were
everywhere sounding the assembly,
gaily accOutred marshals with their
stats were galloping about and from
all quarters the uniformed veterans
were marching deep into the tangle
of streets to take their places in line.
The procession moved in the order
prescribed by Chief Marshal General
A. Noel Brakeman. 1t was preceded
by a platoon of splendidly mounted
police and this was followed in turn
by a drum corps composed Of surviy-
