such as only the Northwest can
boast of. They certainly made a hit
with the crowds for such a roar of
cheering burst forth, that the an
nouncer’s voice, as he spoke into
his microphone, was almost drowned
out entirely. More cars came next
with the chief of staff, New York
and eminent commanders and execu
tives of the eastern commanderies.
The commanderies of Virginia, Ver
mont and New Hampshire in their

sea of white as they marched up the
avenue brought loud cheers of ap
preciation from the spectators.
Heading the Fourth Division came
the Pittsburgh Commandery, No. 1,
with their thirty-piece band, Phila
delphia Commandery, No. 2, and the
Dallas, Texas, drill team, the latter’s

nouncer excited for he declared that
perfect thirty-sixes were nothing to
what could be seen in the parade.
The executive staff of Missouri and
Michigan commanderies headed the
Fifth Division on horseback follow
ed by a thirty-piece band from De

wonderful pork.” The boys up on
the roofs created a diversion at this
point, it was very hot up there and
they were trying to attract the polar
cake venders in the streets below to
go up on the roofs too, but nothing
doing, they were too busy down be
low. The Iowa delegation was sing
