The Great Parade.

ST. Louis, Mo, April 30.-The great mil
tary parade which was designed to be
distinctivelys the show spectacle OF the
dedication ceremonies was held this morn
ing and it proved to be all that its prO-
motors could wish, and all that the regu-
lar army officers who controlled it could
hope for. There have been many mill
tary parades that revealed more men in
line; there may have been some that were
as gorgeous to look upon, but it is doubt
full if there ever have been any that
were more carefully handled or more su-
perbly managed than the one of this
morning.
The sight of the marching thousands
from the point occupied by President
Roosevelt's reviewing stand was one TO
be long remembered. For a half mile to
the left, for an equal distance to the
right, the winding column was in complete
view. The swinging ranks rising and
falling in perfect time were moving rapid
lyon while the flashing steel, the glitter
ing buckles and buttons. the tossing
plumes, waving banners and martial
music made a picture of the bloom and
beauty of battle, the splendor Of war
thai could not be surpassed. To a man

fascinating as a marching army of well
trained men, and the President watched
the, march with eager attention. From
end to end of the line of march the cheers
of Che immense crowd were as cordial as
President Rooseyelt's approval.
nAs soon as the parade passed President
Roosevelt re-entered his carriage and
was driven rapidly to a tent erected near
the Liberal Arts buildings, where he took
lunch and remained until it was time for
him to attend the dedication ceremonies
proper.

FITzSIMM0NS FAILED
TO KNOCK OUT GRIM
Italian Down 20 Times, hut Kept
Coming Up.

Philadelphia, Oct, 14,-Bob Fitzsim-
mons failed to stop Joe Grim. the Ital-
ian pugilist of this city, in six rounds
at the Southern Athletic Club tonight
Grim was down twenty times, all told
including one accidental fall, one slip
out of the ring and some half a dozen
falls to avoid punishment. The others
were square knock downs, and it must
be said to Grim.s credit that very few
other boxers could have taken these
blows and shown SO little effect from
them.
When the men faced each other the
disparity in size was marked. Fitz-
simmons lowered a head above the
Italian, and while not in the best. con-
dition, he looked every inch the. fight
a stiffness that has fooled all the big
men he has met, including Peter Ma
her, Joe Wolcott and Kid Carter. 20
Fitzsinmons contented himself with
chasing Grim around the ring, with
strong feints, with now and then a
light blow In the fourth round he be-
gan to, warm up to his work, and in
the fifth and sixth rounds Bob appar-
entity did the best he could, and yet
failed to stop the Philadelphia boy.
Grim adopted evasive tactics from the
first and merely tried to stay the full
number of rounds. He does not know
how to hit, using the open hand in
place of his fist.
Grim was down twice in the second
round, one in the third ian accidental
fall), three times in the fourth, six
times in the fifth and eight times in
the sixth round.

4, Washington, Oct. 14.-Votes of
thanks to Gen. H. V. Boynton, secre-
tary of the Chickamauga Park Com
mission and corresponding secretary
of the Society of the Army of the

Venor of Ohio. for their services in
connection with the military park at
Chickamauga were the features of the
4 first session of the thirty-first reun-
ion of the Society of the Army of the
Cumberland, which was held at Shore
ham Hotel to-day.
This reunion is one of the events
preliminary to the unwilling of the

Tonight a public meeting of the

tended. The Grafton of the, occasion
was delivered by Gen. Gates P. Thrus-
ton of Nashville. Gen. Thruston de-
voted his paper largely to a discussion
of the number of men who had been
engaged on the Federal and Confed-
crate sides during the war. The avail
able fighting force on the Federal side
he said, was about 10000 or 1905 0C
men, or about 60 or 65 per cent. of the
enlisted strength.
He asserted that the Confederate
forces did not number one-half as
many, perhaps much less than one
half; but that owing to their rail
roads, interior lines and defensive ad-
vantages, the Confederates were able
to bring equal or nearly equal forces
into battle in the great engagements
of the war. Gen Thruston asserted
the census of 1860 and 1890 showed
that the Confederates must have had
an available force of ,600,000 and ar
enrolment of about / 200, 900 soldiers.

prettiest 10-round contest ever fought
in this city, at the opening boxing
show tonight, a draw decision was
given in the bout between Tommy
Feltz and Harry Forbes. Feltz, how
ever. showed his ability to beat Forbes
decively at any time that they do
twenty rounds at the weight, 116
pounds. The Chicago lad was weak
all through the last five rounds. Feltz
beat him with the jab and outpunched
him.
The first few rounds were cautious
and rather slow and whatever ad-
vantage Forbes had were in parts of
these periods. In the later rounds, pos
sibly, barring the tenth, which was
fairly even, it was all Feltz. The
weight favored the latter, who was
never tired at any stage of the bout.

SANG CHANG JEFF DAVIS;
WOULDN'T APOLOGIZE.
Union Veterans Union Says 1t Was
Act of Individuals.


Louisville, KY, Oct. 14.-By fair
sized majority the members of the I'm
ion Veterans Union to-day voted down
a resolution disclaiming any intention
TO wound the feelings of Southerners in
singing "We'n Hang Jeff Davis on a
Sour Apple Tree"
The incident which gave rise to the
resolution occurred at public recep-
ton for the members given last night
in a large hall. A Louisville member
started the song. and it was taken up
by large number of the delegates. At
the executive session late this after
noon when the resolution was intro
duced. the point was raised that the
order was not in executive session at
the time the incident occupied, and that
IT could not be construed as an official
expression, but only that of some of
the individual members.
