When the division swung into position in the parade on Market street the car- riage containing Mayor Phelan and party was inadvertently left behind and was | compelled to trail along after the fifth division for a few blocks.

Coggin's band, followed by the Independent Rifles, which organization made a very creditable ap- pearance under the command of Captain L. Schneider, First Lieutenant E. Moen- | ing and Second Lieutenant John Staude. Then came two carriages with the gray haired veterans of the Mexican War, while just behind them came a half- dozen conveyances in which rode the he- roes of a younger generation, veterans of | the Spanish-American war, who are con- | valescing at the United States Army Hos- | pital at the Presidfo. The wounded and | sick were the recipients of a great deal of attention all along the line and one sol- | dier with the side of his face almost cov- | ered with bandages concealing an ugly aber wound was the special object of mpathy on the part of the women spec- tators. As the procession moved slowly up the street a number of ladies, who had come fully prepared to carry out their | part of the programme, threw showers of flowers into the carriages among the in- valids. They were amply rewarded for their thoughtful kindness by the smiles that lighted up the faces of the soldiers, black and white, who were the recipients | of their favors. |, The turnout of dfscharged veteranms ot | the late war falled to materialize, chiefly | owing to the fact that a majority of the | veterans remaining {n the city are also | Native Sons and preferred to march with | their parlors. | | | | _The fitth division was marshaled b Cadets Make a Fine Appearance. The sixth division, which was composed entirely of the League of the Cross Ca- dets, under the command of Colonel Wil- | lam P. Sullivan Jr., made an excellent showing. There were in the neighborhood of a thousand cadets in ‘line and thelir erect military bearing and perfect align- | ment was the subject of much favorable | comment by the admiring throngs of spectators that crowded the sidewalks along the line of march. Their marching, too, was almost perfect and their neat uniforms set off their youthful figures to the best advantage. Colonel Sullivan swelled with pride as he sat astride his charger at the head of the column and he had ample justification, for the or- ganization of which he is the active head was not the least figure in the big Fourth of July parade. The cadets more than fulfilled the expectations of their friends and, in marching and military bearing at least, some of the regular troops might well take lessons from them. The ladies especially appeared to have a soft in their hearts for the manly, sold looking young men and bo; nd such e i ren't just perfectly splendid,” an the regulars,” were heard on every side. At the head of the division rode Mar- shal A. Macomber, accompanied by his aids, Charles Bliss and D. P. Lowney. A short distance behind rode Colonel § livan with his staff and_ field officers of | the regiment as follws: Lieutenant Colo- nel, Thomas F. Ryan; surgeon, Major Jo- seph G.
