 PROUD REVIEW
(Centinued from Page One.)

drill corps of Memphis. composed of bevy of young women, riding in tally ho. were heartily cheered as was the Memphis drum and bugle corps, the uniforms of the latter attracting much attention. The Nashville and Coving- ton commands, with splendid rSa0resen- tations, were in strong contrast to the Forbes bivouac, which had but six men in line. Forests cavalry brought ur the rear of the Tennesseeans.
 The Alabama Division.
 Raphael Semmes Camp of Mobile, Ala, led the Alabama division, which was commanded by General George P. Harrison. E K. Jones Camp, Hunts vile, was In second place, and then came Camp Hutto of Jasper. the mem bers of this organization being few in numbers but old in years. The aver age age of twelve members of this camp Is beyond the four score mark. the oldest being 96, while the youngest is "A. The fourth brigade of Annis- ton was the last of the Alabamians in line.
 General Robert Lowery headed the Mississippi division. The camps were not desigRated by banners and in this respect the Mississippi division was unique. ..
 General A. B. Booth, commanding
  extended the invitation to the veterans 10 meet next year in New Orleans, was the recipient of applause along the entire line of march. The famous battleflag of this division, which was never captured, ana which is neld to- gether by a net, occupied It's usual place at the head of the division. The Washington Artillery of New Orieaps two pretty sponsors marching with ha alQn heartily nhNnrGN.
 General w. B. Ballentyne com manded the Florida division. The representation of the State was small, as was to have been expected, ewing to the great distance from iIouisvIIle,
 The Kentucky division, whlsa car ried off the honors of the lay as to numbers. was commanded by Gen q al Don II. Thornton of Louisville. George B. Eastin Camp of Louisville, one of the strongest in the South. held first place and, eight abreast, presented an imposing appearance Morgan's Cav airy and the Orphan Brigade, two com- mands famous in$bistory, were fully represented and the crowds gave them an ovation.
 Brought Up the Rear.
 The last organization in the line of veterans was that part Of the North Carolina division which had failed to take up it's proper place in tho line. They accepted last place good natcr- edly.
 The Sons of Veterans. with their new commander-in-chief. Thomas M owen of Montgomery. Ala, at their head. brought up the rear of the long parade. The representations of the Sons was very small, they being cut numbered by the sponsors probably two to one.
 The head of the parade reached the reviewing stand about 1880. General Lee and General Wheeler were given an ovation. General Wheeler watched the parade seated on his horse and was, overwhelmed by the veterans thousands stopping to shake his hand An ovation. led by Mrs. Helen Long street, wife of General James Long street, was given General simon Boil var Buckner and Mrs. Buckner when their carriages passed.
 The general impression among tht veterans was that the parade was thu largest in the history of the associa' tion. Owing to the ract that a greai l many veterans dropped out of line be- fore reviewing stand was reached 1t i' ! difficult to make an estimate of th' number in line.
 On the whole the old soldiers bor' the strain and fatigue well. Ther' were no accidents to the veterani worse than being overcome by thu heat ana these were not serious.
