COLD AFFECTS SPEAKERS. Conayflons in the Liberal ‘Arts building, where” the dedication ceremonies proper were held, were little better. There was no wind, but there were manifold draits, which added to the dampness inseparable from newly erected buildings produced a penetrating chill that was uncomfortable |10 a degree. The effect of this was cvi- dent in all of the speeches, as the speak- ers, commencing in clear tomes, were without exception given over to catarrhal inflections as they finished. Despite this heavy handicap, howgyer, the ceremonies proper were _splendidly handled and the programme was carric lout to the letter.

PRESIDENT'S HURRIED MEAL. In order to arrive even as sarly as that | he was compelled to take his noonday meal under.somewhat uncomfortable cir- cumstances. During the luncheon which he took at the conclusion of the parade he was ghoved helter-skelter by half the people who had been in the grand: stand. The food was placed on a rectangular | counter ana the President, like everybody eise, “helped himself.” S | The crowd inside the tent was dense | | when the President, with the secret ser- {vice men and Adjutant General Corbin | acting as “interferer,” forced his way to the counter. He was so closely pressed that when he attemptea to move his arm his elbow disturbed a cup of coffee held by General Corbin. With some difficulty the officers forced the crowd to allow the distinguished guest elbow room, but it would allow him nothing more. This of range of the sandwiches, but the Presi- dent devoted one hand to passing food to his escort while the other was devoted to his own advantage. Owing to his advan- | tageous position the President soon felt called upon to help other friends, and he was kept busy passing plates, a service | which he performed with alacrity and | cheerfulness. The manner of the Presi- | dent taking luncheon was sufficiently un- i conventional to excite curlosity, and prob- ably 7 per cent of the people who con- gested the tent were present merely to witness the chief executive of the nation eating at the democratic level of a clerk in a quick-lunch restaurant, | CROWD APPROPRIATES CHAIRS. Some of ‘the diplomatists ‘and more f other distinguished visitors mounted the reviewing stand to find that there were no chairs for them. It developed that the chalrs had been cheerfully appropriated by unoffi¢ial guests who had arrived early on'the scene. With some difficulty other chairs were procureq, but they were littie used, as the visitors found they could keep off the chill more effectively by standing he important ceremonies in the Lib- eral Arts building were handled with all possible’ dispateh.

T. LOUIS, April 30.—The great mil- itary parade which was designed to be distinctively the show spec- tacle of the dedicatory ceremon- ies, ‘proved -to be all that its pro- moters could wish and all that the regu- lar army officers who controlled it couid hope for. The sight of the marching thousands from the point occupled - by President ) \ Roosevelt's reviewing stand was one long | to be remembered. For a half mile to the left and for an equal distance to the right the winding column was in com- plete view. The President watched the march past with. eager. attention. Every well set rank, gvery accurate formation elicited his hearty commendation. From end to end of tHe line of march the chéers | of, the immense crowd were as cordial as President Roosevelt's -approval. The pa- rade in all features was a most beautiful | and tmpesing inavgural of the ceremon- fes. ! Although Adjutant General Henry' C. | Corbin was the grand marshal and all things done received his sanction, the | active work of organizing the columns | and managing the parade was done by Brigadier General John A. Johnston, U. | S. A., and Lieutenant Colonel E. A. God- | win, Ninth United States Cavalry, Gen- | eral Corbin’s chief of staff. MANY REGULARS IN LINE. There were 11,000 men in line—3100 regu- lars and 7990 of the National Guard, New ‘York being represented by 1000 officers and men; Illinols, 1000; Towa, 99; Missouri, | 3000; Oklahoma, 200; Okio, 1000. | The formation throughout was in col- { umn of platoons, of all arms, at half dis- | tance. the infantry marching sixteen files {'and the cavalry twelve troopers front. | The regular army division was ordered | by General Corbin to be in position on the main drive of Forest Park at 8:15 o'clock. | 1t'was there to the minute. |~ While the regulars and Nationa) Guard | contin\;ed on P;ge 2, Column 3. n| at Sofia also has been burned.
