MARCHING JACKI[S
TO BREAK RECORD
Largest Number of Sailors
Ever in Parade Will
March Today
Admiral Evans Will Make Last
Official Appearance in
Carriage Is

Between 1000 and 5000 sturdy Amer
lean seamen. the greatest number OF
United States bluejackets and marines
ever to come ashore at one time to
take part in procession in any city
will march today in the third division
of the big military and naval parade
under command of Captain Seaton
Schroeder.
On only one other occasion has that
figure even been approached. At the
time of the Dewey celebration in New
York in September of 1899, 1000 tars
were in the line of march. But those
who come ashore this morning will
outnumber the marchers on that IA
nous day by several hundred And in
addition to that, save at the queen s
jubilee in 1897. naval officers of the
fleet say that as many jackies of any
nation have never marched together
Fifteen thousand soldiers and sailors
will be included in the parade, which
will be the greatest military and naval
demonstration the city has ever wit
messed. Under command of General
John A. Roster, grand marshal of the
day. the parade will start from Market
and Sansome streets at o'clock. 1t
where the line will swing northward
on the east side of the avenue. AT
Washington street the head of the col
umn will countermarch down the OPP
posite side of the avenue.
This movement will add another
spectacular feature to the many the
march will hold in store for eager
watchers. 1t will do away with the
necessity of reviewing stand, fol-
Secretary Metcalf, without moving from
his carriage, will be able TO review the
entire line without stopping. AS the
cruiser California of the Spanish
American war veterans passes the sec
retary's carriage, so youngsters from
Vallejo, who will be riding in the float
VIII fire a cabinet officers salute of Is
guns. At two places along the line OF
march grandstands have been erected
for the convenience of spectators.
As the long line passes, don't forget
to cheer, for Chairman rnelan and
members of the fleet committee said
yesterday that in some of the southern
had been lacking.
