AS the men defled past General Howard the
connecticut out in the North River, flying the

OF twenty-one guns. Swinging at anchor, too
in the river were other Yankee men-of-war, and

ONLY ONE PARADE. ACCIDENT.
Only one accident, and that of minor impor-
lance, occurred. The colors Of the third division
that Of the Grand Army-were carried sby
mounted militiaman. AS he passed the review
ing stand the sectional pole came apart and the
banner fell beneath the feet of his mount. A
police lieutenant jumped out into the road and
saved the colors.
The parade started at 9:1S o'clock IN the
morning. The police maintained good order
throughout the entire line OF U,arch. although
the sidewalks were jammed lrom curling to
building. Besides the veterans and the regulars
and militiamen in line were the Spanish War
Veterans. the Sons of Veterans and cadet COM
panies from various schools.
The Old Guard. escorting General Howard,
was the comic relief. they say the stage,
of the parade. Dazzling In their cream-puff col
ored coats, cerulean trousers, gold lace and
braid. its members set out with the general
from the Hotel Regent at 10th street and
Broadway. the faces suffering eclipse by
the shadow OF their huge bearskin shakos. Not
was in line who was not as impressive a
parsonage as the leader Of band at a Mulberry
street wedding funeral. But bearsl1in shakos,
while majestic, far from cool and when
the Old Guard rested both literally and after
the military order, the towering structures were
ponderously brought into use as fans. But as
cooling agency they want such a muchness."
as Miss Rose Stahl says.
As they halted woman near the front of
the stand called her companions attention to
big officer of the Old Guard They certainly
had to measure him for that belt he wears" she
said. The officer was unusually heavy-in fact
quite qualified for membership in the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Of Boston, and at
tracted more than ordinary attention as he
moved about the stand.
The 69th Regiment followed the 9TH, and the
9Th came after the 69th, all in close order.
PRAISE FOR THE SEVENTH
There goes the crack 7th!" said one woman
IN the reviewing stand. They keep a good
hle.' remarked a veteran, who stood near.
1.-THE boys march well" said another. The
other Guardsmen came along in regular order.
