There Vas a break in the parade
until the infantry finally extricated
themselves from their friends at Mad

ed only after the ranks had been
narrowed from sixteen to four
abreast. Even as the men proceeded
four abreast the two on the outside
rubbed elbows with the crowds.
Later they were able to resume their
original formation.
Bands were stationed at each corner
from Eighth to 10th streets, but their
instruments might have been mute
for all the music that could be heard
above the shouts and cheers. Air
planes dipped and whirled close over

a small detchment of Anzacs, rep

with cries of "cooee-ee-ee," which Is
typically Australian. and "attaboy,"
which is American.
In the reviewing stand was an inn

saluted as each regimental standard
was carried past.
Behind the Australians strode rank

The police officially estimated the

records for New York and possibly
