By 10 o’clock the crowds had grown to such proportions that passage along the sidewalks was a slow and difficult proceeding and pedestrians took to the roadway in preference. Mothers were there in plenty standing uncomplain- fngly for hours with infants in their arms, while the older hopefuls saw and were seen from coigns of vantage on paterfamilias’ shoulders. During the morning hours the sun shone brightly and there was just enough breeze to make the atmosphere bracing, but with the coming of the advance guard clouds obscured the sun, a stiff north wind whistled dewn the broad avenue and the teeth of the spectators rattied a long roll that the biggest drum corps in the procession could not have discounted. Noses as- sumed a purple tint, hands sunk deeper into overcoat pockets and handker- chiefs were made to do duty as mufflers, but nobody thought of going home; on the contrary, the crowd was constantly augmented. Just at noon a glimmer of bright uniforms was seen turning Into the avenue from Market street, and a shout went up, “Here they come.” Five minutes later Chief Lees and his splendid body of police swung past. Beyond that first shout there was little noise.

STARTING THE MAIN COLUMN ON ITS ROUTE. Promptly at 10:30 O’Clock the Mounted Police Are Swung Into Line. Promptly at 10:30 the platoon of mounted police that was to lead the parade swung into line on Sansome street at the corner of Market and stood ready for the word to march. It was in command of Corporal Shanahan. A few minutes later Chief of Police Lees, leading. six platoons of police headed by Bennett's band, turned into Sansome street from Bush and halted close behind the mounted men. The six platoons were made up from Com- panies A, B and C, in command of Captains Wittman, Spillane and Gillen respectively. Lieutenant Birdsall acted as ald to Chief Lees. They had no sooner taken their places when the word came from the Grand Marshal that the different divisions were in readiness for the parade and the word to march was given. As the mounted men swung into Market street at 10:45, N a quarter of an hour after the time set for the parade to commence, a bomb was fired announcing that the line had started. Grand Marshal Dr. John F. Morse and his staff came next. They fell into the parade behind the Park band and | Brown, M. C.

Then came the United States troops and the militia and the divisions of the parade in their order. The line moved up Market street with the police in front, breaking a way through the great crowds that formed across the line of the march. They soon cleared a way and the line turned down Montgomery street. The route led along Montgomery street to Montgomery avenue, then along Kear- ny back to Market, then out Market to Van Ness avenue. There the line went up Van Ness avenue out as far ils, R. ht, W. His E Jeter, accom eral and Barrett, as Jackson street where it counter- marched and came back past the re- viewing stand at the corner of Goiden Gate avenue. All along the route of the procession the police had to fight the crowds that insisted on filling the roadway to the middie of the street. The police, how- ever, did good work and they kept the way pretty clear all along the lne of the procession. It was a good-natured and enthusiastic crowd they had to H: | of staff of Grand Marshal Morse, ac- " | companied by Lieutenant Colonel Kos- | deal with. Their ambition was to en- croach over the curbstone and cheer the divisions of the parade as they | went by. The soldiers were welcomed | by a waving of handkerchiefs from the ladies along the line of march more than they were cheered. That, of | course, was to be expected. The Celtic | and German divisions came in for much | of the enthusiasm that was displayed | along the line. The Irishmen cheered their division and the Germans tried | to outdo them, when their division came along immediately after. Vantage places from, which to view | lh‘e parade were at a premium. Every | window along the line was - crowded and small boys hung on the cornices of the buildings at the immediate risk of falling off and breaking their necks. Some enterprising young men had boxes to rent on which those in the rear on the sidewalks could hire and stand to see over the heads of those who, with more foresight, took up places early on the front of the curb and won an uninterrupted view of the | procession as it passed. Camera en- thusiasts were profusely scattered | along the route and every move of the parade was photographed. STIRRING DISPLAY OF A THOUSAND - I'EERAL TROOPS. Gallant Officers of the Regulars = J Admired by Feminine Critics. The troops of the United States artillery and cavalry, gained d!:ar::: tion in the parade for a display highly creditable to the service. In compli. ance with orders from department headquarters the column of Federal troops under the immediate command of Colonel M. P. Miller, Third Artillery, assembled at 10:15 a.-m. and formed on the east side of Market street with the right on Sansome street. The Government steamer General | McDowell brought over the foot bat- teries from the island stations and landed the artillerymen at the Clay- street wharf. The light batteries and the First Infantry came in direct from the Presidio to the point of rendezvous. Early morning activity was required to bring all the troops from the various garrisons in line on Market street at the time appointed for the movement of the column. | Promptly at the time designated, 10:15 a. m., Colonel Miller, accompan- | ied by his gdjutant, First Lieutenant Morris K. Barroll of the Third Artil- sl | lery, halted at the intersection of Bat- | | tery and Market streets. A few min- utes later Colonel Smith, N. G. C., chief | ter, rode up to the Federal commander | Colonel Miller pointed down the street where the head of his approaching | column was in view. The Third Artil- | lery came Into position without delay | or_confusion. Lieutenant Colonel E. B. Williston, whogscommanded the regiment, pre- sentéd a superb military figure. Decked in the full uniform of his corps, his stature, which is far above that of the ordinary man, was heightened by the red plume of the artillery. He sat erect on his fine horse. A murmur of delight ran through the ranks of spectaors. Small boys approached the horse with a sense of timidity, and young ladies gazed at the veteran soldier with | glances expressive of admiration. Colo- nel Miller sent orders for the Third to march on up to Sansome street and wait until the column in the rear was closed up. Next in order came the First Infan- | try, whose regimental record is equal | in renown to that of the galiant Third | Artillery. Colonel Evan Miles, post | commander at the Presidio, wore his | new eagles and displayed many of his decorations, gained in long service. Be- | side him rode his adjutant, First Lieu- | tenant Everett E. Benjamin, at whom | many of the ladies all along the line | from the ferry to Van Ness avenue, | shot glances of sweet approval. First Lieutenant Leon S. Roudiez, guarter- master, rivaled Mr. Benjamin at every point of admiration.. Captains Brant, Starr and O'Connell of the First led their respective companies in fine mili- tary style, but as they were not mount- ed many of the spectators were de- prived the pleasure of inspection. The Third Artillery and First Infan- try were each marshaled in two bat- talions. The first battalion of artillery was commanded by Captain James O’Hara and the second by Captain Sedgwick Pratt. Captain Pratt's rank may not entitle him to the first place in the procession when the O'Haras are on the field, but he has ail the eles ments of a fine commander. Only a strict regard for army regulations pre- vented a presentation of bouquets to ! cavalry was not surpassed yesterda | tive the gallant captain. The first battalion of infantry was| commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel William H. Bisbee, and the second by Captain L. O. Parker. The light ar- tillery battalion of the Third followed | the infantry command. It was led by | Major David H. Kinzie, and gained its full share of Jubilee laurels. As the artillerymen rested on their caissons, | they had time to discuss the pretty girls on the floats and review pictur- esque features of the forming proces- sion. Light Battery F was command- ed by Captain Ramsey D. Potts and | Light Battery C by Captain Joseph M Califf. The turnout of both batteries | was splendid. The squadron of the Fourth Unlted! States Cavalry, commanded by Lieu- tenant-Colonel Louis T. Morris, was one of the inspiring features of the | procession. The alignment of the respective troops, moving up Mar- ket street, was excellent. The horses seemed to take as much pride as the | men in the display. The yellow plumes of the cavalry were in Keeping with | the dominant color of the day. Troop | | C was commanded by Captain Gale, Troop K by Captain Rodgers, Troop I by Lieutenant Charles T. Boyd and Troop B by Lieutenant John M. Neall. | An ambulance, drawn by four mules, followed the cavalry. It was the sen. timent of the populace all along the line that the squadron of Uncle Sam's The foot batteries of the Third Ar- tillery and the companies of the First Infantry found the marching space too narrow for company front order and so they marched in platoons. For ex- ample, the right of one blatoon toucheq the north side of Market street and the left of the platoon, immediately in rear, touched the south side of the street. The full space of the roadway | was therefore kept open for the troops. It was ‘observed that citizens mani. fested great respect for the regular soldlers and did not crowd in to break | the alignment of the troops. The First Infantry paraded 400 men, the Third Artillery 400 and the Fourth Cavalry 200. Exelusive of the two fine bands there were fully 1000 regular soldiers in line. The cavalry buglers elicited many compliments. The Third Artil- lery and First Infantry bands obtained | a full share of the popular applause. The military musicians did not blow themselves out while the troops were forming for the parade, but held their resources for the enlivenment of the main pageant of the day. The second section of the first divi- | sion was made up of the Second Brig- ade of the National Guard of the State of California, the Naval Militia, the University Cadets, the Cadets of the Mount Tamalpais Academy, Troop A, Cavalry, a division of the life-saving service of the United States, the execu- committee of the Fom & of the]| Mexican War and municipal and State officials. By virtue of coloneley the Fifth Regiment Golden Jubilee, the Veterans the seniority of the of In-| fantry, Colonel Fairbanks command- | ing, had the right of line and came im- mediately after General Warfield, com- | manding the Second Brigade, and his | staff. All the companies of the regi- | ment not having been provided with full-dress uniform appeared in service | uniform with fatigue hats and pre- | | sented a good appearance, showing the | personnel of the regiment to be a very | fine one. This regiment experienced | some little difficulty in falling into line at the start by reason of misunder- | standing as to the position the com- | | panies should occupy in the formation, | and at the last moment it became ne- cessary to march them up a side street | in double time in order to enable them to assume their proper position. There | was another difficulty, unlooked for, | and that was the non-arrival of the horses provided for the mounted offi- | cers. These, however, turned up after | the line was in motion, and the officers | for whom they were selected had to do a little mounted gymnastics in order | not to delay the column. The com- | panies of the regiment were F of Oak- | land, Captain Wenk, 56 men; G of Alameda, Captain Simpson, 50 men; H | of Napa, Captain Bush, 45 men; D of | San Rafael, Captain Elliott, 50 men; B | of San Jose, Captain Partridge, 55 men; E of Santa Rosa, Captain Haven, | 50 men; C of Petaluma, Captain Mec- Lay, 40 men, and A of Oakland, Cap- | tain Poulter, 50 men. Their marching was good and showed considerable at- | tention to drill. After this regiment came the pride of | San Francisco, &he First Infantry, | commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Du- | boce, acting in the absence of Colonel | James F. Smith, who was chief of staff of the grand marshal of the day. The| commanding officer was attended by the regimental staff. The twelve com- panies In three battalions wore the full-dress uniform of the guard, and it is not often that the regiment appeared | to better advantage on parade. As the companies filed into the main | 3 2a i3 T Juatiibie PR KRy BRI 53 X column they were the subject of much favorable comment, and it was well deserved, for the uniforms were neat and clean, the accouterments were in proper condition and there was a lack of slovenly appearance that had been marked on previous parades. Major Charles Boxton was. at the head of the first battalion, Major Hugh T. Sime at the head of the second and Major Charles L. Tilden at the head of the third, his first appearance in near- ly a year, during which time he was on the sick roll. The regiment marched in the follow- ing order: M, Captain O'Neill, Lieu- tenants Carroll and Hogan, 60 men; 1, Captain Richter, Lieutenants Huber and Tobin, 60 men; B, Captain Rob- ertson, Lieutenant Jordan, 45 men; A, Captain Connolly, Lieutenants Ballin- ger and Brown, 50 men; H, Captain Warren, Lieutenants Davis and O’Brien, 50 men; B, Captain Filmer, Lieutenants Sturdivant and Ramm, 48 men; D, Captain Creagh, Lieutenants White and McGurren, 48 men; L, Cap- tain Eggert, Lieutenants Curzon and Adler, 45 men; K, Captain Cunning- ham, Lieutenants Finley and Seely, 60 men; C, Captain Dumbrell, Lieuten- ants Goodell and Petty; F, Captain Miller, Lieutenant Nippert, 456 men, and | G, Captain Sutliffe, Lieutenants Spar- rowe and Swasey, and after the com- panies came the sanitary corps, carry- | ing stretchers and all that is required are Major W. D. McCarthy, surgeon; in the field. The officers of the corps Captains P. J. H. Farrell, Theo.-Reth- ers and A. P. O'Brien, assistant sur- geons, and Kenneth 8. Mackenzie, ser~ geant. The regiment was preceded by the First Regiment band and the regi~ mental field music. Then followed the Golden Gate Mili- tary Band, which headed the naval militia, or, more properly speaking, a battalion thereof, commanded by Lieu- tenant Commander T. A. Nerney. At the head of the division walked Lieu- tenant Willlam, E. Elliott, aid to Cap- tain L. H. Turner, division commander of the entire militia. In carriages at the head of the two divisions rode Cap- tain Turner, Dr. Harris, Engineer O cer Kingsley, Ordnance Officer Burke and Signal Officer Smith. There were two divisions of the mil- itia, the first commanded by First Lieutenant Dennis and the second by Lieutenant Gunn. The men in the battalion numbered 140, and wore the uniform of the Jack Tars, brown leg- gins, dark blue pantaloons, blue shirts, web belts and the regulation head- covering. As their Hotchkiss guns are on board of the Marion at Mare Island they turned out-as infantry. They pre- sented a very creditable appearance, There was also in line the color guard and the hospital corps,” with stretch- ers and the appliancus that belong to it. After the boys who are to man the Marion came the battalion of univer- | sity cadets, under command of Lieu- California | tenant S. A. Colman, U. S. A. The oo fi‘ i young men were attired in service uni- form and they were much praised for their neat soldierly appearace and splendid marching. There were com- panies C, Captain Miller; E, Captain Jacomini; A, Captain Wigmore, and D, Captain Peart. In addition there was the signal division, numbering 72, com- manded by Captain Ramsey, and the bicyele corps, numbering 20, command- ed by Lieutenant Wagner. The boys from the university numbered in all 520. The bicycle eorps, whenever the pavement permitted, gave an exhibi- tion of their skill in riding and keep- ing in line, and wherever they could make such a showing their perform- ance was noteworthy for its precision. They were followed by the cadets of Mt. Tamalpais Military Academy, un- der command of their instructor, Lieu- tenant George E. Sage, U. S. A. They were under the immediate command of their company commander, Captain ‘W. J. Hoggs, and numbered 60. They also presented a neat appearance. The last of the military portion of the sec- tion was Troop A, Lieutenant M. Bur- nett, recently elected captain, but not yet commissioned, commanding. The troop, mounted, turned out 45 men in fatigue uniform and made a good showing. Then followed a double line of ten carriages, in which rode forty-seven of the veterans of the Mexican war, a sin- gular coincidence forty-seven men who fought in the war of '47. There were many of the old veterans who are so far advanced in age that they are wait- ing the last roll call, but some felt such an_interest in the celebration in honor of the country which they helped to win for the Union that they came from various parts of the coast, one as far north as Tacoma, in order that they might be in the parade. There were in that portion of the parade Major E. A. Sherman, Wellington C. Burnett, L. Cranz, M. White, Captain D. Howell, 8. D. Sirine, J. C. Laylor, J. A. Cooper, William L. Duncan, Pierre Drydenie, V. Tiburcio, A. Sten- zel, H. Vogelsang, Captain J. T. Mil- ler, Daniel Carpenter, F. Schupp, Law- rence Sallinger, Henry Schwartz, H. T. Gregory, J. Bannister, J. H.
