There were many prominent absentees
from the reviewing stand In front of tho
State Fenclbles' rmnry, Uroad nnd Itace
streets, this morning two tlnjH after tho
primary election during the two hours
that the street cleaners of the city marched
by. "Kd" and "Hill" Vare did not add
their presence to the auspicious occasion,
although George H DatcRrnmi, pirector of
Public Works, said ho thought that "the
Varcs were somewhere along tho line of
march, watching the parade." Ho gave no
such nssuranco, however, concerning Sena
tor Penrose and Senator McNichol Neither
woi on the reviewing stand, where admis
sion was gained by card only. Mayor
Smith wnH also among the missing. At 11
o'clock it was said he was "coming later."
At 11:20 o'clock it was again said ho was
"coming later." If-ho came at 11:10 o'clock,
ho camo too Into to see nn thing of tho
parade. Director Krusen was present- In
the stand.
Along the lino of march, very few spec
tators stopped to watch. , Bjit that fact
didn't featfe anybody. Tio thousand men
kept marching nnd 7G0 vehicles kept rqlllng
nn rinonito thn Inck of Interest anywhere
except on tho reviewing stand, whfch was
filled with city officials.
Hero everything wns done up in real
style. Tho ushers wore klu gloves and
wore conspicuous by reason of appropriate
ribbons. Director Datesmnn saluted each
division ns It passed, and tho division sa
luted back by dolling hats. Sometimes, of
course, gome of tho men would forget to
observe this technicality of respect. It hap
pened quite often, too, until a volunteer
went about 30 feet below the reviewing
stand and yelled to each man : "J Icy, take
oft your hat when you pass the director!"
Tho Infractions of courtesy wcio less In
number after that.
There wcro nearly a dozen divisions,
with hnif a dozen bands. A squad of pollco
were tho leaders. So spick and span were
the marchers that C. F. Datcsman. father of
tlio director, confessed his ndvocacy of these
annual-parades because they servo to "give
now suits to tho men or at least causo"tho
washing ot the old ones."
When tho street sweepers tho vehicles
came along, with tho drivers sitting with
much dignity In their heats, it wns an
nounced thnt "tlio light nrtlllery was now
passing the reviewing stand." Garbago
caits also attracted much attention. So
dill tho sprinklers and the ashcarts. A
number of the latter wero enclosed In white
canvas. They resembled not such a mun
dane tiling as a repository for ashes, but
that romantic vehicle which tho western
pioneer and Buffalo Bill has made famous.
Tho horses were all dolled up with Amer
ican flags. Thoso of Frank Curran, Dis
trict No. 5, weie further arrayed with the
flag of Ireland. Several of tho contractors
had furnished carnations to their men,
who wore the flowers on such a uniform
angle that they added a pleasing bit of
color to the sceno. Wearing the bit of pink
and carrying nt right shoulder tlio brushes
which they uso to clean up the city's
streets, these men. Indeed, presented a most
beautiful picture.
Among the notables present were J. W.
Pnxton, superintendent of street cleaning,
Washington, D, U. ; J .T. Fatherstone, of the
Street Cleaning Commission, New York;
F F. O'Toole, superintendent of street clean
ing, Pittsburgh ; Theodore Justice, of the
