The Naval Reserves arc going to New York to participate In Hie great naval parade in Admiral Dewdy's honor; thousands of persons from this section -ate going to see tho home-coming ol the hero Admiral. This being so, why shouldn't Norfolk's, militia he repre? sented in the big land parade to follow the naval welcome? ?Several citizens have suggested that inasmuch as Admiral Dewey is to be in? vited ii> come to Norfolk oil the Olym? pia, tliis city should be represented In some distinctive way in the Dewey Day celebration In New York. The an? nouncement thai, the Naval Reserves, at a pi rtioti of them, will gi> lip tii|par? ticipate in the naval part of tin; pro? gram haM caused general satisfaction, but on the streets of Neyv York fine of the greatest military and civic proces? sions ever seen in this country will be hehl and it Is the belief of many that Norfolk should have representation In this p.trade. General Hoe, who lias charge ?<( the military feature of the celebration, states that at least t a thousand soldiers will march in the pa? rade. They will conic from various Stales, many from as far away as Texas, and several Western States, and from down South, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina.

So far :is known, no Virginia, body of sold lern i.- preparing to take part In the exercises, but it was learned yester? day ih-at the Norfolk Light ?rtlilcrj Blues would participate If enough of its members can go to New York at that time; September 29. Forty or fif? ty would be the least number wanted by the ririlocrs, and some believe that this number could be secured, and prob? ably mere if the effort is made. The Other military companies of Nor? folk arc more or less handicapped by lack of complete organisation ami equipment. It Is probable thai tin littles may attend.
