The usual early morning rush to railroads, ferries and the docks of the excursion steamers was thin in ccmparison to what It would have been had the sun shone as {t did throughout the week.

Despite a drizgle of rain, the Grand Army veterans and the National Guard formed promptly in Washington Square. With Mador-General Adna R. Chaffee as grand marshal, the preliminary arrange- ments were carried out with military precision, and at 9 o'clock the column moved up Fifth avenue. Behind Gen. Chaffee rode-his fuil staff in thetr gorgeous uniforms. Next in or- der came the infantry and artiilery de- tachments under command of Col. W. E. Dougherty. They were preceded by the Headquarters band playing lively and appropriate marching tunes. Companies E, F, G and H, Bighth U. 8. Infantry, under Major R. F. Ames, formed the first part of the parade. Next came four companies of Coast Ar- tillery from Forts Hamilton and Wads worth, commanded by Major lL. H. Walker. The seccnd and largest part of the parade was made up of the State troops, commanded by Major-General Charles F. Roe, who, with bis staff, was es- corted by Squadron A, In full dress uni- form, With the exception of the Highth Regiment and the Second Hat- tery, which were detailed as an escort for the Grand Army parade in the Bronx, the city’s entire militia detail was in line.
