CADETS MARCH WE'LL.
One of the interesting parts OF the parade was
the brigade formed of college cadet corps, where
the marching was most creditable, especially
that of the Carlisle Indians and the cadets from
St Johns Military School Of New-YorR. An
other worthy feature OF this brigade was the
marching of the Washington High School
cadets. The individuals in the parade who re-
ceived the warnest welcome were General Chat
fee General F. D. Grant, General joe
Wheeler, Governor Higgins of New-York, Gov
ernor Herrick of Ohio and Governor Warfeld
of Maryland, all OF whom were quickly recog-
niZed along the line of march.
In the civic grand division, of course, the in
terest was confined to the apparel of the
paraders, the marching being irregular natu-
rally enough In some instances the design OF
dress original and striking, as in the of
the Conkllng Unconditional Republican Club. of
Utica The New-York civic organizations
showed that considerable pains had been taken
in preliminary training
There was only one bad break in the parade
as 1t passed the Presidents reviewing stand,
and that was accomplished by member Of the
Union Republican 18th Ward Club of Philadel-
phia. Much enthusiasm was shown by the
members on their approach TO the stand and
one member left the ranks with the evident pu-
pose of greeting the President personally. Mr..
Roosevelt. foreseeing a general onslaught of the
same sort all along the line through the four or
five brigedes of civic ORGANIZATIONS Whicn re-
nlained TO be reviewed, laughingly waved his
exuberant admirer away and he was assisted
back to his position by an ale-t policeman.
Altogether, the parade was notable in many
respects It was three and half hours pass

The Governors attracted much attention.

amid the uniforms of his aids, which were heavy
with braid and gold lace

APPLAUSE FOR GOVERNOR HIGGINS.
The third division Of the grand military d.
vision was headed by Governor r W. Higgins

need of applause as he rode along the avenue,
escorted by the First Company. signal corps,

gaudy yellow plurnes The 18th Regiment Band,

COWBOYS OF THE WEST.
The feature which perhaps attracted the most
attention was the cowboys of the West" head
ed by CAPTAIN Seth Bullock. who sat his horse
as If in an easy chair, with his long mustaches
twisted by the wind and his left arm resting
easily akimbo on his hip The cowboys were q
sight 70 see for while they all wore wild
Western rig. two of them were clad pre-
cisely alike Some wore blue Shirts some spot
ted red some wore huge sheepskin caps. while
others had leather breeches, and still others
wore leggings Lassoes hung on the pomnels
Of their saddles and the pearl and ebony han
dies of six-shooters stuck out aggresstvely from
capacious holsters suspended from their belts.
IT was against the order OF parade for any Or
eanization TO change formation in the slightest
degree But no human law ever restrained a
genuine cowboy, and while this particular
crowd did their best they would not help but
make things lively. Just to show what they
could do now and then they rOped a small ter
rifed African in the circling folds of a larat
and the horses danced TO and fro across the ave-
nue., while their riders whooped and yelled and
saluted the pretty girls at every window.
