 that they should be in this parade. Their uniforms fit them snugly and their marching told of practice had in real warfare.
 About o'clock the troops came to a halt, the President having reached the White House on schedule time and goneSto his official home for a hurried luncheon.
 Interesting Incidents. The men as they rested on their arms along the avenue seemed glad of the opportunity the wait gave them to spruce up to pass in review before their newly inaugurated President. While at parade rest the soldiers amused themselves watching the scenes along the curbing. Incidents of hu- man interest were many. On the top of building opposite the postofice department, a young man and his girl danced two step, to the rapid melody of Back to Baltimore played by one of the bands in the parade. It was exactly five minutes before 3 o'clock when the Philippine scouts who were toward the last. second bri- gade, first division of the military of the grand division. resumed their march and passed the postofice de- partment with as perefect line as was to be seen !. the parade. Their progress was marked by great cheer ing. There may be cavalries in other ar mics as good but certainly none on this side of the world are superior or perhaps even the equal to the gallant 7th and 9th squadrons which next moved up Pennsylvania Avenue, six teen files deep. their penants snapping in the sharp northwest breeze. The 7th rode bay horses as closely matched as bits of mahoganA save the last Company which was mounted on high stepping black chargers. The black men of 9th, mounted on their bay steeds. had come all the way from Kansas to do honor to the Pres- ident. to whose aid they had come in his hour of need in the bloody con- flict of San Juan Hill.
 The third and last brigade of the first division was composed entirely of the National Guard of the District of Columbia, Brigadier General George H. Harries, marshal.
 The second division of the military grand division was composed of militia ry organizations under command of Governor UPennypacker of Pennsyl- vania as marshal.
 Governor Preston Lea, of Delaware, received a great cheer as he passed up the avenue at the head of the first brt-i gade of this division, followed by the Delaware and the Pennsylvania militia
 Governor Stokes. of New Jersey. who was marshal of the second brigade, rode a spirited charger and rode him well. Although not nearly so large as the representation from Pennsyl- vania. that of New Jersey was care fully selected and attracted much atten- tion.
 Kept Good Alignment.
 In the absence of Governor Henry Roberts. of Connecticut his place was taken by Lieutenant Governor Wood- ford, who with a number of the stan, headed Company A of the 3rd infantry. Colorado National Guards. They were followed by the Massachusetts militia. The splendid line kept by the Bay State soldiers attracted general atten- ton.
 Maryland was cheered heartily as her troops with Governor warfield at the head came up the avenue, with spirited step
 It was nip and tuck between the Marylanders and their Virginia con- federates who followed them as to who received the greatest cheering.
 The third division of the grand mili- tary division was headed by Governor Higgins, of New York, as marshal and he received his need of applause. He was escorted by the first company signal corps, New York National Guard, with helmets and guady yellow plumes.
 The New York contingent wound up with the naval militia, the men drag ging their shining machine guns and carrying sabres.
 North Carolina was represented by but one organization. battery A of the National Guards, but 1t was headed by Governor Glenn.
 Rhode Island and Vermont wound up the first brigade of this division. each headed by its own governor with staff
 Governor Myon l.. Herrick of Ohio, marshal of the second brigade. was magnif1cently mounted on a bay steed which pranced and curvetted proudly to the great delight of the spectators The Governor received liberal applause
 The third brigade. made up of college cadets. was great success from 8 spectacular point of view. The old and the new were contrasted strongly when the Carlisle Indian school cadets passed, uniformed like regular soldiers and marching quite as well and with them half a dozen Indians in all the panoply of native warfare.

 These red men had made a mark iA the dark chapters of Western history, for among them was Geronimo, Ameri- can Horse. Hollow Horn. Bear and Lit tie Plume. Pennsylvania, Georgia Maryland. New York, West Virginia and the Capital City sent their cadets into line and they acquitted themselves with credit. They wound up the miIl- tary grand division of the parade which, taken all in all, was as fine a ever marched along Pennsylvania Ave- nue.
 The American Club of Pittsburg was escort to the marshal, B. H. Warner eral This club wears white high hats and carries red. white and blue um- brellas.
 The Republican Club of New York County, although in gorgeous uni forms. was naturally widely noticed because of the fact that President Roosevelt had been associated with this organization. which was in command of Louis Stern.
 Leading the first division was its marshal. Major General Jno o. How ard, and immediately following the General and his stan was the Repub- lican organization of New York County, many hundreds strong.
