ESTERDAY was a festival of memory, for the great proces- sion of old soldiers recalled the stormy ' yesterdays of their tives, when they heard their country’s call and went forth to do or die that the flag of the Unlon might not be taken from the sky. Men of iron from Chapyltepec stood side by side with heroes of the Civil War and the great types of history—the living he- roes of Vicksburg and Antietam—none consin and Towa—from the workshops and flelds of the Middle West—came the com- mon people that Lingoln loved. The old men that filled the city’s streets yester- day were youths when the great Abraham wrought his immortal deeds—and the old " men of yesterday’s procession were the very boys that answered Lincoln's call. Sturdy. and patriotic boys were they in the days of war—and they are patriotic old men now, old and only walting until the shadows are a little longer grown.

'l"o blind, the crippled—men of Shiloh and the Wilderness—these were in the .procession—the past invoked, men whose glory can never fade, trudging their way through the streets, their eyes kindling, their steps tottering and their hearts bounding at ‘the sound of music, the sight of faces, and the spirit of com- radeship that will soon unite them no more forever in the land they made free., The residents of San Francisco proved to ‘the world yesterday that they possess the true spirit of patriotism. With wav- iig flags and handkerchiefs, with voices lifted in one great greeting, the old soi- dfers were made to feel that their deeds have, not been forgotten; that their sacri- fices were appreciated, and that all honor is due them. . No comparison can be made between the two parades the people have seen in the, vividly and were co last forty-elght hours. The one held on Tuesday morning was in the nature of a military pageant, whereas yesterday's parade was a grand review of the heroes of the war of secessjon. The veterans marched 12,000 strong. They passed be- tween long lanes of. people, with heads erect and bared to.enthusiastic greetings and with contentment in their hearts. It is a difficult task to picture the scenes on the streets of San Francisco yesterday. Once seen they can never be effacef from the memory of those who witnessed them. Seventeen years ago the veterans marched through the streets of this city In an- other encampment. They marched with a firmer tread and in larger numbers. Those who remember those scenes recall them tantly reminded of them durihg the passing of the veterans yesterday. It was a grand sight and was worth traveling hundreds of miles to see. Two hours and a half were consumed in ng a given point. No one seemed to notice of the time, as all minds were filled with a moving picture of a truly remarkable procession. No acci- dents were recorded, thanks to the watch- fulness of the Police Department. Vet- erans fell out of line at intervals before the reviewing stand was reached, but there were so many in line that the few departures were not missed. Flowers were showered on the com~ rades from every side. Roses strewed Continued on Page 2, Column &
