True 10 It's long history for efficiency,
the First Infantry passed In review,
cheer after cheer greeting each platoon
as they passed In perfect order. Those
who followed this regiment from start
to finish saw that not only did they
maintain perfect formation passing the
reviewing stand, Fright dress, = but
along the entire line Of march.
Good showing by Twsnty-hfth
But they were not to carry of the
donors without competition, for the
Twenty fifth Infantry, next In line, was
given q rousing reception. This splens
didly trained regiment Of eolored tr00,Js
was i0y command Of Maj. Is. B. G6se.
The First Infantry was In commakd OF
Col W. D. Howell. * n !, Is

The music by the Twenty .6fth In.
fantry band was one Of the features OF
the parade. Led by Bandmsster Leslie
King, this organization did itself proud,
and the cheering of Ad Club members
and hundreds who filed the grah d.
stands as they passed evidenced the
popularity of the military musical or,
CARNATIONS Of the army. #,G {4,
Second, True to rr.dittor .tt5
The Second Infantry, Col. +. H.
French, in command. came next. This
regiment, with one OF the finest records
Of any organisation IN the army, made
retnarksbly good appearance. The
Second Infantry band, Albert Jaeobsen
eondnetoy, also made 4 good showing,
A medley was being played as the mu-
sicians reached the grandstand, but the
throng could not sgbe enthused into
breaking its neutrality when the mu-
sicians struck up the lively air, at s.
10 Long, Long Way to Tipperary. I"
Many on the sidelines attempted to
join in the chorus, but they were
drowned out when Others called for
three cheers for the flag. - .
The Second was followed by the Pro-
visional Coast Artillery Battalion, in
command of Maj, Frank Coe. This or.
ganization, splendidly equipped and
drilled to the minute, added touch
Of military Preparedness to the parade
that brought forth repeated cheering,
Another impressive featuye was that
of the First Field Artillery, with Mai.
w. 8. Guignard in command. The cdis.
sons and gun carriages, drawn by well
drilled horses, in charge of capable
crews, gave another truly military ap-
pearance TO the parade 81 ~ a..
One of the features, however. that
was greatly enjoyed was the Fourth
Cavalry, Col w. d. Beach In command,
There are one thousand or more men
and horses in this outfit, and both
horses and men are trained TO the min
ute. The regiment was led by the
Fourth Cavalry mounted band, in
charge of Michael A. Qufnto, conductor.
The band, the colOrs, the officers and
the men of this division were given an
ovation along the entire line Of march
With an alignment practically ais per-
feet as the infantry had maintained,
the mounted troops carried out their
detail in the parade and well earned
the praise they received. III
Il This, too, applied TO Company + Of
1.-The Signal Corps, in command of Capt.
George O. Gibbs. This company ear.
Tried the entire equipment with which
A mobile force maintains its eommuhi-
cations while in the field. u. e
Another division that brought forth
applause and praise was Company, !
Of the Third Battalion of Engineers, in
command of Capt. Warren T. Hannum.
Ragged showing by Militia e.
following the Signal Corps came the
First infantry, National Guard Of Ha-
vail. This division was IN command of
Lieut.. Col. W.NR. Riley, and with the
exception of the Hawaiian company,
the Chinese company and Company b,
the latter in command Of Capt. Paul
Super, the National guardsmen made a
poor showing. With the three exsep-
tions named there was not q fun pia-
toon In any Of the other companies. A
line Of Ave or six men, ragged fronts
and apparent hack OF interest on the
part of officers and men, did NOT add
to the success Of what was otherwise
fine parade. EAR !
tsIn future paraaes,, 2 q military man
remarked last night, ~ COIopel Jones
and his aides wonld do well to insist
either that the militia companies make
q presentable showing or fan out of
line in a parade, such as that Of this
morning" 20" "
