Known Have Been Trimmed BY Time

True as in Former Days.

San Francisco, Aug. 19.-The parade
today of the veterans of the Grand

be long remembered by the thousands
of people who packed the streets along
the line of march. Devoid of all the
pomp and panoply of the warlike host
which marched in all the pride Of
strength and youth in yesterdays pa
rade, there was something pathetic in
the thinned out ranks of the veterans
who marched today which touched the
hearts of all who saw them, bowed
with the weight of years, worn out and
weary, but with animated faces and
unquenched spirit, this remnant of a
mighty host which had carved out a
victory for the republic on the hardest
fought battlefelds the world has ever
known, marched proudly along, the last
Of the unconquered band of heroes,
waving above their swaying ranks the
battle flags which bore the marks of
shot and shell in many fierce fray.

ments of old soldiers, headed by the
detachment from Illinois, commanded
by Benson Wood, swung into their APP
pointed stations in the main column,
which started punctually at 10 o'clock.
The mounted staff, department CON-
manders, and all the mounted escorts
were formed into platoons of eight
files front, the distance being regulated
at four PAGES. This formation was well
maintained ali through the parade and
the same can be said of the different
posts which were paraded some sixteen
PAGES apart with double distance be-
tween the files.
Few Carriages in Line.
Throughout the parade was strictly
military, no women, children, or gro
tesque costumes being permitted in the
column. Carriages were also prohibit
ed and the few which appeared were
occupied by disabled veterans and
were driven in all cases to the left of
the column OF their respective depart
mentS.
Cheered to the Echo.
A hearty greeting was extended to
the old boys along the entire line of
march, each of the departments being
cheered to the echo as it filed past.
A Brave Showing.
The reviewing stand was on Vanness
avenue and there the departments
marched along in perfect alignment.
after a long and tiresome march for
many of the older veterans. showing up
in brave style until dismissed by the
