Military Pageant.
Commanding no less interest than
the West Point cadets came the mid
shipmen from Annapolis. In their
regulation short navy-blue jackets
and tan leggins, the young sailors
were received with waves of cheers.
But now the assem- bled thousands
sent up new roar. A regiment of
blue jackets turns into the avenue.
They tramp along brislAy, with the
rolling auiols-steP OF al ea-~bo are -liot
strangers to the sea. A squadron of
the Fifteenth cavalary, battalion of
the Third Field Artillery and a de-
tachment of the Signal Corps brought
up the rear of the division of regu-
lars.
Then marched the second division,
made up of militia. Delaware's
troops led, headed by the governor
and his staff New Jersey-Presi-
dent Wilson's own state-sent its en-
tire establishment, including its bat
TALON of naval reserves. In line
came the state troops of Pennsylva-
mia, Massachusetts, Maryland. Geor-
Carolina. Rhode Island, Maine,
Michigan. Ohio and other states.
Militia representation from the states
was not so great this year as at pre-
vious inaugurals, but there was a
greater representation of regular
troops Indiana-Vice-Pr s i d n
Marshall's state-was totally unrep-
resented Many of the states, how
ever, which did not send troops be-
cause of the long distance to be ira
veled were represented by their gov
ernors and staffs in the Fourth Grand
Division.
Cadets from the Carlisle Indian
school, in their uniforms of cadet
blue, were subject of remark in
contrast with the remnant of theii
ancestors, who marched wrapped il
multi-colored blankets and in full
feathers and war paint Cadet bat
talions from the Virginia Military In
stitute and Culver Military Academy
brought up the rear of that section.
Rebels in Line.
The third division, made up of vet
eran and patriotic organizations, was
suggestive of the fast diminishing
ranks of the veterans of the North
and South. Both sections were rep
resented, the nearby northern states
and the District of Columbia furnish
ing the larger number of men in blue,
with here and there the men in gray
mingling with their former adver-
saries.
The fourth grand division, compos-
ed of civic bodies. was probably the
most diverse of all.
Tammany Hall, 1900 strong.
headed by two bands. each brave
topped with pure white silk beaver,
and carrying red, white and blue
/ umbrella. accompanied by 80 real
I Indians" in full tribal regalia, was
/ marching at the inauguration of the
( first Democratic President in twenty
/ years.
Foremost in this civic division
( came the Woodrow Wilson Club of
4 Trenton. And then came fully B.
/ 600 college students from all parts of
! the country. Princeton. in honor of
its former President, had 1,0OO men
! in line. who marched in cap and
gown, each wearing Princeton
badge on his left arm. The Duck
worthy Club of Cincinnati. with 500
marchers in white overcoats and
dark red umbrellas, was noteworthy
patch of color in tha whole scheme.
Other notable organizations in the
/ line we're the jefferson Club of Phila-
delphia, the Iroquois Club of San
Francisco. the Nose Green Club OF
Louisville, the Berks County Club OF
Pennsylvania, with its famous band
enlisted during the war, the Indiana
I Club of Indianapolis. and countless
other clubs, many in snowy uniforms
and with striking devices.
Some of the governors who rode IN
the inaugural procession were. with
