HE most frequent question asked by visitors to the camp is in regard to the location of some com- pany or battalion, and it is not often easy to find a man except one belonging to the organization sought who can tell much about it. In view of this, the accompanying diagram will prove of interest and information. The camp is considered from the standpoint of the line of tents occupied by the commanding officers and their staffs. The battalions each occupy one street, two companies below and two above the kitchens and mess rooms, each company occupying eight circuldar tents. In the case of the.artillery battalion, the batteries being much larger than the infantry companies, there is one below and one above the mess rooms. The groups of three tents at the end of each battalion street are occupied by the battalion commanders and their adjutants, with one tent for a battalion headquarters. The four square tents at the end of each line of circular tents are occupied by the company officers.

For two hours the parade had passed, and still they came not. At last they were | due, the veterans of the Spanish-Amer- ican war and the wounded of the First California had p: >d in carriages and had been cheered #until the welkin rang, and all necks were stretched up street for the First and the Heavy Ar- tillery. They didn't seem to come, al- though all else in the parade appeared to have passed. A wait of twelve minutes and people began to think that, by reason of the fact that the banquet at the ferry de- pot had been timed for 10:30 and that it was then midnight, the Fighting First and the artillerists had been marched down some other street to the ferry and would not parade. It was no sooner thought than it w believed. Still no sign of them and tie crowds broke up and again filled the many leaving in sheer disgust. “‘It's a shame!” said one man. Anpther was about to acquiesce, when a loud shouting was heard up the street. “Here they come!” was the ¢ lines re-formed, red fire was again, all was joy and cheers. volunteers, for whom a whole city had turned out, were not going to disap- point their friends. It had nct been The their fault that the hiatus had occurred | in tge line. The crowds above had simply overwhelmed and held posses- gion of them from the crowds below. They were marching as fast as they could. . The ovations the returned volunteers received along the line were as numer- ous as were once the cobbles on Market street. It would be simply impossible to describe them, so what's the use trying? They were cheered at every step of the road and they cheered back at every other time. The whole town went mad and the volunteers piled into their second banquet at the ferry depot long enough after midnight to call it another breakfast. MIXED WITH THE PEOPLE A platoon of mounted police, a pla- toon of United States Cavalry, the grand marshal and his aids and a band passed, and then the United States troops opened the real parade. They were led by'a band of the Third Ar- tillery from Angel Island. Then came Captain Sedgwick Pratt in command of the artillery battalion, which consisted of Battery B, under Lieutenant Haynes from Fort Mason, Battery O from the Presidio, under Captain Bennett, and Light Battery C, under Captain Califf. Right behind the artillery came the de- tachment from the Iowa, led by the marine band. There was a company of marines, under Captain Carmany and First Lieutenant Rittenhouse, and a company of bluejackets, under Lieuten- ant Twining and Naval Cadets Bahcock and Bowe The whole was under the command of Lieutenant Witzel, who had upon his staff Naval Cadet Hanra- han, adjutant, and Passed Assistant Surgeon Crandall. The division made a fine showing, and all along the line of march it was greet- ed with cheers and the waving of flags. The men from the Iowa were particu- larly well received, and they marched in a way to merit all the applause they were given. Down through the line after the divi- sion of regular soldiers and sailors had passed, there were scattered here and there bodies of men under arms. There was the Veteran Reserves of Califor- nia, the Austrian Guard, in their feathered hats and gray uni- forms, the well-known Independ- ent Rifles, the XKnights of the Red Branch, the German shooting societies and the Veteran Guard. Be- sides these there were the Dewey Guard, a squad of boys In white sailor suits, who had formed a guard to wel- come Dewey home. They were not named for a place in the line, but they came up to the Alameda division of Native Sons, and the Native Sons allowed them to follow on be- hind. Then came the school chil- dren, led by the band of the Horace Mann Evening School, a band of boys, but one that played with the lustiest; the Columbia Park Boys' Club, under Captain C. R. Alberger; the Boys' Brigade, and a good-looking body of fifty or more naval apprentices from the British vessels in the harbor. Ahead of the apprentices was borne an English flag, the first that has appear- ed in a military parade here in years. At places along the line it was cheered. Every one was waiting for the boys in brown, so while the organizations SOME INCIDENTS OF THE BIG DAY. | bers ana appointments: the Foresters, | it seemed a long time before the Cali- | that preceded them received all kinds b | of welcomes, the real cheers were kept for those who were to come. They were long in coming, for far up the street the crowds began to close in, and the progress they made was slow and uncertain. The enthusiasm started over the veterans of the Spanish war, the vete- rans who were not attached to any par- ticular command and those who went out from the State naval militia to serve in the navy. The veterans were headed by Charles Dutreaux, a naval militiaman, who left the State organiz- aticn to become a seaman on the Olym- pia. He was with her during the bat- tle of Manila. Just behind marched some of the men who were in the tug fleet here, and then came the veteran soldiers. It did not take the crowd long to find out who was passing, and the people gave cheers enough to wake themselves up and make ready for what was coming. ‘What_was coming were mostly police waving whips, aids with bedraggled sashes and hoarse voices, patrol wag- ons with bells clanging and cavalrymen and Signal Corps men beating back the advancing crowds with the flat of their sabers. What the crowd didn’t know about the parade would fill a respect- able column, but they did know that last of all would come the California men, and that just before would come the other veterans. As a consequence, when it neared the end, there was no controlling the people. They rushed out from the sidewalk, and the column dwindled from company front to col- umn of fours and then to column of twos and even to single file. It was be- cause of no desire on the part of the people to break up the parade. They didn’t want any one else to get in ahead of them, so every one rushed for a posi- tion in front, and there was no room left for the troops. Along Van Ness avenue it was hard marching, but when the column of vol unteers neared Market street it was day’'s work to go a block. When half- past 10 arrived, when the boys. were ex- pected to have passed down to the ferry, back again and over Montgom- ery and Kearny streets, and then on out Market again, to be reviewed at City Hall avenue, it was still trying, with the aid of half the police force, to make headway down the first block on Market street. And even the upper end of Market street was not so bad as down below Eighth, where the strings of lamps end- ed. Below that it was every man for himself and dodge the flying clubs if he happened to be out of uniform. It was a howling, struggling, sweltering mass of humanity, packed closely as hay in a bale and with the best of good natute, trying to jockey each other out of places on the curb or next the tight-stretched ropes. The air was full of cheers, and exploding powder, and rockets and red fire, with its ac- companying sulphurous smoke. Roman candles were let off into the crowd, with not a murmur from those who caught the sparks; rockets showered ribbons of fire in among the people, and heads ducked now and then to dodge a bomb wavering in its flight. But no one cared and no one complained; they only crushed closer, guyed the police- man nearest and waited for a chance to make another inch toward where the men were passing. The California men marched as best they could, but there was that about their line which perhaps escaped the ones who yelled the loudest or howled the longest. To many the straggling line of old men who marched’ by the side of the boys were enthusiasts who had dropped into the column to follow along, but to those who knew it was one of the prettiest elements of the pa- rade. They were the veterans of the Civil War—the members of the local posts of the Grand ‘Army, and it was their line that was thrown around the new veterans, coming home with new stories, new glory, new honors. The grizzled old men could hardly stand the strain’' of the hurried march, the harrying of the crowd, the smoke, the noise, the excitement, but they strug- gled on until first one and then another of the boys would give them a hand, and so, arm in arm, the new and the l 1r\ld. they walked down between the | dense masses of people, no longer a | line, no longer the semblance of a col- umn, only a thin stream of men in brown, helping along a few men in blue. ‘Tugmhor they took the cheers and to- | | gether they answered them, and bound together by the tie which service un- | der the flag weaves between all men they divided the honor, and the boys felt no loss from their share. It was supposed that the line would | countermarch on Market street, and that is what it tried to do, but the crowd fixed it otherwise, and the coun- ter march was not all a success. It was | gcod enough until the volunteers came along, and then it was good enough for the® people on the near side, but those | across the way were not going to be balked of a chance to see their own regiment. When the military division passed the volunteers again somewhere near the reviewing stand there was not much trouble, for the glitter of uni- | forms, the measured tread of regulars | and the rumbling of guns is sight enough for any ordinary mortal, and the people kept their distance, but there is nothing forbidding in a column | of native sons, particularly an open | one, with the men armed with flags, so | when the Native Sons came along first | one more daring than the rest would cut across; then another venturesome one would follow, and when the watch- | ful police officer would give chase some | daring man would make bold to rush | through the citizen line dragging his wife after him, or perhaps two or| three children. No self-respecting | crowd is going to stand that kind of thing for any length of time, so before the California men had come well in sight the countermarch had developed into a crossfire, with the unfortunate countermarchers doing no better serv- ice than serving as squads around which the crossing people could dodge from the police. Two or three mounted officers rode ahead, and in its wisdom the crowd would give way and let them pass. The | same courtesy was accorded the patrol | wagons and troops of cavalry that had left the line of countermarch and were coming down the street again. But when these powers of peace and war had passed the crowd came in again, | and so it went on down the street, a wave along the front of the people, keeping pace with the width of the wa- gons and then closing in to within handshake of the boys. [ When the column reached Third street there was nothing but a narrow ribbon of blue and brown, for the ar- tillery men wore their blue uniforms, and in the general mixup had mingled with the .end of the regiment. A carriage carrying two wounded men made its way along faster than the line, and hanging behind it, run- ning when the carriage had a chance to hurry, and pushing when it nlnwed} up, was Major Rice, commander of the artillery, and his adjutant, Lieutenant Koster. It was not dignified, but then | dignity had been left up the street, and | the major and his adjutant were mak- ing fairly good time, and were corre- spondingly happy. In this way the then reached the ferry for the half past 10 o'clock ban- quet. - They were a little late, but they didn’t begrudge the time. It was after 12 o’clock, but if they could have seen the way the people turned contentedly for home, and hear what they said as they fought for seats upon the cars, perhaps the boys would not think they had been kept waiting too long. They have waited, but the city has waited, | and last night the people had their turn.
