personages in the parade were the new
{ Iy reelected governors of the different
States. Several States and Territories
were represented by the chief executive,
and although not one of them wore d
uniform of any description, nor, save
for the color of their sashes. was there
a mark by which they could be distin-
guisheti from the leaders of the various
political clubs which followed immed-
lately in their wake. each was recognfz-
cd as he passed groups of visitors from
his native State, and was greeted all
along the route Of the parade with re-
peated cheers.
The first of the governors TO appear
was Samuel w. Pennypacker, now com
pleting his term as governor of Pennsyl-
vania. In addition to the thousands of
visitors from the Keystone State, there
We're any number o. people from dis
tant localities who had heard of him
and were anxious to see the man who
attempted to nuzz1e the press. and who
has probably been the subject of more
cartoons than any other man IL the
world who has not attained international
distinction.
In Aniable Mood.
For the day, at least. the governor
had determined to keep the temper for
which he is famous under perfect con-
troll, and merely smiled when the
whisper spread UT Pennsylvania avenue:
See that little man who never rode a
horse before? That's Governor Penny
packer
While it Is true that he was the object
of many unffa tterlng remarks he was
also the recipient of much applause The
little man has a host of frieads and ad-
mirers in Pennsylvania. and lots of them
were in the city who when their COVER
nor appeared applauded both loudly and
with feeling.
No less enthusiastic was the greeting
given the United States sailors, who, in
their blue jackets and baggy trousers
presented pretty appearance to the
thousands of spectators. Several hun
dred biuejackets participated in the pa
rade. and OF this number there were
many whose friends had come 10 this
city for the sole purpose Of seeing
Jaclly march. As their boys passed
and We're recognized by them many were
the names called out and the handker-
chiefs waved. All were doomed 20 dis
appointment. however. for the sailor
boys locked neither TO the right nor The
left. Their eyes seemed glued to the
front. and they recognized no one.
District Guard Applauded
OF all the features of the parade the
District Guard was the most interesting
to Washfngtonians. Headed by Gen
George H. Harries, and accompanied by
the brigade band and a corps of field
music. the Guard formed the third bri-
gade of the first division, and received
many compliments on their appearance
al IN he of y.zl
ries and his staff was the brigade band
followed by the second regiment, with
Col. II. E. Ureil, commanding. Next
came the first regiment commanded by
Col. Henry May. who was followed
by corps of field music. The first
separate battalion. the signal corEs. and
the Naval Battalion. followed in the
order named. the Districts part in the
procession being brought up by the am
bulsnce corps of the local Guard. The
boys marched well and contrasted favor
ably with many OF the regular regf-
Inents.
Cowboys Make a Hit.
In point of the picturesque the un-
doubted hit of the parade was made by
Captain Seth Bullock. of Deadwood S.
d, and his troop Of cowboys. All the
way along Pennsylvania avenue these
sixty bronzed men from the wild West
ern plains. clad in the garments they
wear on the range, were given an ova-
ton. And the COW punchers'' enjoyed
it as much as did the admirfng thous-
ands.
AT the corner Of Twelfth street. where
brief halt was made, the cowboys
unsIung thes ropes and gay sport was
there when half a dozen negroes tried
10 run across the line only TO find
with live pony on the other end Of the
line.
Mack Quest. the broncho buster from
Wyoming, made a particularly clever
cast with his rope when he rounded
up three negroes in one tightly drawn
loop
The Tippecanoe Club
The Tippecanoe Club. of Cleveland,
Ohio, made fine showing In the parade
and few spectators along the line of
march. realized that they had been in
a wreck eight miles out Of Cleveland
and that but one-third of their Intended
number appeared in the parade. The
two trains that c0lided. ore containing
the Engineer Corps of The Ohio Ma
