Secretary Wilbur of the Navy and
Mrs. Wilbur, Rear Admiral Eberle,

Bascom Slemp, secretary TO the

Then for almost five hours followed
steadily the long procession-"an IN
army with banners" of Christ and
the flag of their country. Every
marcher carried the bule-and white
Holy Name pennant. There were the
New York uniformed police, fire and

100 Bands in Parade.
one hundred bands We're inter-
spersed in the line of marchers, who
at times We're encouraged with ap-
plauSe.
The parade was made colorful with
the stars and Stripes. parochial BAN
ners and the Papal flag. consisting of
Peters keys on a field of yellow and
white. AS the stand was passed the
marcherS removed their hats and
tipped the flags. all the reviewers
rising to their feet every time the
national ColorS passed
As the marching cohorts passed
by hour after hour in the rain with
the onlookers apparently no more
daunted than themselves by the
dampnesS, the number of participat-
ing delegations became increasingly
impressive.
Boston officials March.
The rain was falling heaviest when
the delegation from the Boston arch
diocese, the cardinals own" ap-
preached the reviewing stand. The
1900 in this delegation We're out
numbered by others. but none made
better showing. \ row of clergy
in silk hats and frock coats, and a
row of laymen, including Mayors
Curley of Boston and Quigley of
Chelsea and Fire Commissioner
Glynn of Boston. similarly attired
added to the smart effect which
drew applause all along the line.

next Governor of Massachusetts"

and halfway down the Avenue Thorn
as Mealey, former Boston resident,
rushed the police and presented the
mayor with bouquet of flowers for
Mrs. Curley.
Cardinal O'Connell rose as the
Greater Bor on delegates went by the
stand and smiled and nodded his sat
isfaction. They were led by Mgr.
Splaine who is spiritual director of
the ArcndloceSan Cnlon.
$4,000 ID. {. Men March.
Thirty-two Catholic parishes in
Washington mustered a total of about
$4,000 in the parade. They formed
at the rear. with Baltimore, as the
home archdiocesan union, which was
host of the occasion. Some of the
Baltimore units We're late in reach
ing the Capital and so the 10000 in
the Baltimore section We're sand
wiched in with the Washington
marchers.
Most of the delegations from dis
tanceS were unable to secure bands
to lead them, while every one of the
local parish units marched with music.
This lent 4 refreshed spnu to the
hundreds of thousands who Were
massed in the rain at both sides of
the Avenue. The local organizations
also had had more opportunity to
prepare for a dressy appea rance. most
of them having uniformed societies
of boys marching, and several with
their own boys bands or fife and
drum corps.
Patrick J. Haltigan. president of
the Baltimore Archdiocesan Union
marched at the, head of the Wash
ington Maryland section. Maj. J.
Eugene Edwards. marshal of the
Washington section. received COM
mendati ton all along the line of march
and from military authorities for
the formation and smartness of his
section
Mgr. Mnckin Heads Group.
Mgr. James F. Mackin. the vener-
able pastor of St. Pauls parish
marched ahead of the first Washing
ton unit. This position was given in
tribute TO the priest, who was vigor-
ouSly aDpfauded all along the route
of the parade, as he waved his Amer
lean flag.
While many of the cities had lines
of colored men or small groups of
them in the parade, Washington had
whole companies of them and few of
the units made a better appearance.
St. Augustine's st. Cyprian's and
Holy Redeemer parishes were repre-
sented entirely of colored men, a
large proportion of whom were at
tired in frock coats and silk hats
and marched as though carefully
drilled.
Leading the st. Augustine's delega-
ton was giant colored drum major,
dressed in purple, who won plaudits all
along the Avenue. This same drum
major drew a smile from President
Coolidge in the Defense day celebration.
Pe threw a big thrill to the tired
throngS yesterday when he marched his
band up in front of the reviewing stand,
twirled his magnificent shining baton
in an amazing series of gyrations and
throws, and then stalked majestically
away with chest thrown forward, while
the dignitaries in the reviewing stand
literally rocked with laughter.
Cunning Applauded.
Frank P. Cunning, president of the
Washington section of the Holy Name
Union, received a running fire of ap-
plause from those along the line of
