Famous Fifth Maryland.
The 9TH Regiment was at its best today
and the wave-like motion of the men as
they marched along in column recalled to
old WashingtOnians former great occasions
in Washington when the 9TH in their former
gray uniforms were always prominent
feature of the pageants.
Old Virginia followed Maryland. and the
appearance of the blue and gr1y-clad sol

applause along the line of March. This
applause was punctuated at intervals by the
genuine rebel yell" emitted by some
southern veteran on the sidewalk as he
viewed the solid ranl-s of the Nirginians,
and his mind reverted to the days of
smoke and fire in the sixties, when he was
