THE OLD GUARD.
The fields and inconstant weather, foil of mood* and
caprleus, whltnilcal and fanciful, now all smiles and
now all (ears, frowned upon (he dtr and Ita gueats
yesterday, and ahowed then what a May day In Chi*
cago can bo,—wet, chilly, amoky, dirty, and unoom
fortahle. Ik was a day for carrying umbrellas, and not
muskets; for poor clothes, and not new uniforms; for
ataylng at home, and not for crowding tbe sidewalks.
It was a direct Imposition upon the schoolchildren,
who were set free from bondage, that their own par*
tleular day should 1m one of mud and rain. It wae a
fraud upon the country visitors, who come here, net
to roost in hotels, but to stroll tbe shop-lined streets,
and who will get an Idea that a rain-cen
tre invariably arrives at Chicago tbe day any
great event Is M occur, In order to take part therein.
Bat all thU did not Interfere with tho procession
Itself, which, being composed of the veterans of tha
past or the future, fell It a military duty to show con
tempt for tboso Utile Occidents of the season, and to
tramp sturdily an over the slippery Kleolson. There
wen enough spectators on tho sidewalk, armed and
equipped, to have formed an umbrella corps for the
shelter of tbs entire procession, except the mounted
men; but then that would hare detracted from tho
general effect of tbe display, leaving visible only tha
marching forest of lege. It Is tong slnoe there have
been any proccations in Cblegao which had m much of
the military element In them as this, and there was
therefor* a general outpouring of tbe populace to nee
it, Xobody remained at home; the outlying sections
were deserted, sad a corps of thieves
with - drays might bava plundered a
whole ward unmolested. Tet it was bard to find drays
yesterday, for aidee-do-camp In aU their dory were
straddling boraoo which ordinarily lug along only flour
er beer barrels. A dray horse was Invented for civilian
aides. He is eminently conservative. Ho does not
curvet, prance, or caracole. He does not go either
backward or sideways, but sturdily trudges on, bead In
front, as a bono was made to go. Bo whatever the
distinguished strangers thought of the sullen skleo,
they bad no right to complain of the style In which the
Chicagoans left home, and nooo dinners, for tho oaks
of gazing upon them.
Thera was an Interregnum during the afternoon,
when people wore loft to their own devices, but at
night the promenade concert in tbe Exposition Build
ing drow another crowd, and the day dosed as it had
begun, with music.
All things considered, the parade and tbe other nota
ble featuras of tbe day wont off creditably, and those
who bad the management of affairs deserv* a rote of
thanks for the manner In which they performed their
dulloa. Let ua hope that, now that the Ice has been bro
ken, every year will witness some military gathering la
this dty, and that the armies of tho West and tbe
regiments of Illinois will make this the scene of their
future reunions.

TUB GOVERNOR'S ODARD9,
from Springfield, arrived at the Alton depot at 7 a, m. (
and were received by Company A, of (lie Find Ilcgl

ate breakfast. They numbered (Dirty men, and are

company is exceedingly fine, and the uniforms are
very baudsome-Hlark blue, trimmed with gold lace.
The organisation was formed but six months since,
and bids fair to achieve a great reputation,
Oapt, Johusou la a veteran soldier, having entered
the service early In 1801 in the first regiment—tho
Seventh Illinois Infantry—which left the Stats for the
seat of war, U* soon won his way to a Captaincy, and
hla company, under hla drill, held rank in the Western
army as one of the very beet. Us la au admirable
drill Ofilcer, waa an excellent soldier. Ho is assisted by
an able eorpe of staff oUlcers, some of whom lists
seen service. There ia also a sprinkling of old sol
diers running through the rank aud file of the com
pany, Hut fur the most perl the rank is composed of
young men from tho best families of Springfield, who
Lave Just attained their majority, and who were conse
quently too young to have shtred in tho glories of tho
War for tho Union. Their I earing and soldierly tread,
however.bespeak the nullities of which soldier* are
made, This company la on* of which the Slate may
well be proud, and It Is not strange that (he peoplfe of
Springfield are in ecstasies over their pet organisation.

which condescended to para around the hotel twice In

passed In review, and took up position on tbo east side
of Clark atroat, opposite the hotel. At 1') o'clock the
rifty-fievenlli Illinois fell into line on Randolph street,
opposite the hotel, the Ninetieth in the north wing of the
lobby and the gallant Twenty-third, Cob Mulligan's

mounted at the east front and fell Into lino on Ran
dolph street, east of Clark. liaJf an hour later the
head of the procession moved south on Clark street to
wards the Grand I’aclAo, and the crowd soon dispersed.
At the appointed hour the headquarters of the other
organisations were alive, end presented a military air.
Bayonets glistened In the early sunshine, and the
tramp, tramp, tramp of those eager for the dl/nlay of
their tinsel reminded ono of the good old days
of yore. HuMoqiicutly the clouds gathered lo ob
scure the sun's rays and cast a gloom ovra the prepar
ations lortbe day. Undaunted, however, the boys
who had braved the battles were prepared lo brave
the weather, and continued to gather at their respect
ive rendezvous. The portentous character of the
horizon only tended lo klndlu regret la the minds of
(he soldiers, end fears that their paraphernalia, donned
for the flrn time, would be soiled by (be threatening
shower. The veterans, who had withstood the showers
of grape sad caoLter, cared very little for lbs thick
ening clouds,
AS FAULT AS 0 O'CLOCK
the sidewalks lining Washington street, from Oreea to
Morgan, were filled with the mlecclUucotu mim wlio
were waiting the*)rival of tho several delegations am)
the formation of the procession. Krery minute
brought now arrivals until 11 o'clock, when the streets
were made almost impassable, Tbo potchcs along the
line woro decorated with those who hud Urod of stand*
in If, and the trees and roofs even yielded to the de
mand for available positions to view tbe coming pano
rama of tattered bailie*fiscs,scarred veterans.aud home
mads soldiers. The building*, 100, were decorated
with flags, and tbo windows were crowded with the
fair sex, who had been drawn forth by th»ir native
curiosity and lunate sympathy for the standard-bear
ers of the country.
JLbout 10 o'clock
TUB nnsr DELEGATION
arrived and took position at the corner of Banramon
street. They were quickly followed by the several or*
ganisatloon which were duly assigned to position.
Among tbe first arrivals was a delegation
of the Flfly*sevenlh Illinois, beaded by
martial music. In quick succession tho other organ*
Izallotui arrived and assumed their placos. Those be
longing to the First Division formed ou Oreou street,
the right muug on Washington and tho loft on Lake
street. This was Intended to be not only tho flrat but
tbe beat division, and 1U parte were arranged accord
ingly. Tuo Second Division ahto formed on Green
street, the right resting on Waahlngtun and the left on
Madison street. Tho Third Division formed on
rooria street, the tight resting uu Washington
and the left on Lake street. This Division, third
In number, was by no means third In character, but ou
tbo contrary was ollloered by some of tbe best and no*
bleat men In the entire Unc. The Fourth Division also
formed on I'corla street, tho right resting on Washing
ton and the left on Uodlson street, Tim Fifth Divis
ion, tho last, hut cerUluly not the least in point of
Importance and attractions, formed on Sangamon, the
rlgnt realm# on Washington and the left on iUndolph,
while In the rear and reeling on Lake street was a bat
tery not mentioned in the programme, marshaled by
Fire-Marshal Dernier,
the ponrawo or the several divisions
was a difficult task lathe midst of the crowd, but It
was accomplished with due diapaidi, the several
officers and aids manifesting a far better knowledge
of the work than they did of preparing for It. During
the organization of the several Divisions, mure or less
confusion ensued, as a matter of course, but none of
the anticipated waul of harmony among the officials
was noticeable. Tbe activity of tbo sev
ral commanders was only equaled bv the
activity of the largo array of pickpockets and petty
thieves who seemed to Infest the vast assemblage.
The rushing to and fro of horsemen bearing orders
was typified by tho rushing of geutlomon from the
rural district* is pursuit ol these rascals who had a
moment previous lifted their watches aud chain* or
their pockethooks. Several lunUuoea of pucketpidclng
earns under the observation of a reporter, but In most
case* the thieves were apprehended by tho pollco
after a foot-race of aeverel blocks. When tbs organi
sations were completed the econo was an Inspiring one.
Tbs several delegations, companion, and regiments,
presented a unlformjgood appearance, each seeming to
via with tbo other In military bearing. The long Una
of old battlo-fiags emblazoned with the glory cf many
warmly-contcatcd fights and dearly-bought victories,
and riddled by bullets of the country's enemies, apoku
volumes and thrilled the spectator to a higher appro*
elation of the nation’s volunteers and defenders.
THE PROCESSION.
DBLAT IN moving.
Owing to the delay occasioned by the late arrival of
tom* of tb« military companies, or their failure to
report to Adjutant-General Reynolds os toon as they
had taken the positions designated In the orders of
the Manhal-in-Chief, the procession did not more at
11 o'clock, the hour advertised. Not until half an
hoar later was all In rtodlnote, and then the command
•* Forward, march " was given by Gen. Sherman, and
the leading band struck up a lively air. Immediately
there woe a rush and a crush for “a good place "on
the edge of the sidewalks, or in the street, and
windows, previously barren of human heads, wore
crowded with men, women, and chll
rtn. Here and there on Washington street
flags were displayed, but there wae no
general ornamentation of buildings, Smiles of sp
prova), and the waving of handkerchiefs by young
ladles, with now and then a feeble choer by en
thusiastic men, recalled the tines when the " boys n
were starting on Ibelr way to the field.
The Marslul-ln-Chlef and his staff passed slowly
west on Washington street, and as soon as one di
vision had fallen Into line and the right of the next
was reached, It toe followed, no confusion whatever
occurring, even the home guards, as contradistinguish
ed from the veteraus, exhibiting a very creditable
knowledge of military movements.

fregnsuted by those who had time to spend.
Tbe balconies at tne north and south ends of tbe

filled before the hour approached. Tbe fronts of
those balconies, and the centre one as well, were finely
decorated with wreathed flags and festoon*, Inter*

by Urn. Derma, Commamler-ia-CJalcf of tbe Onnd

the Cemaiaudor-ln-Chlef were aV«o tbe venerable 4. C.

Tne scene when the ptvrrssloo b*cm to pan tbe

sympathy was evoked for Gen, T. T.
Sherman, who had a rebellions following
of Homo forty aids. It was nrctaanry to explain to
tho visitors that these were not a company of Hhcr
man's bummers, as they at first snppoeed en hearing
the name of tho ManhaMn-Ghicf,
THE I'IOIITINO nnsr,
ef Chicago, drew round* cf applause by their fine ap
pearance aud excellent drill. Tbo Myors Cadets snd
drum corps fairly divided the honor* nf tbo day with
ili* Governor’* Guard, and both were loudly choired
by tbe balcony. The Cadet* showed their proficiency
in drill by executing with splendid precision several
difficult inaucuvrcs while marching past tho build
ing.
The veteran* who reviewed tho procession were
moved to rounds of cheers by tbo sight of tbe tattered
flag* and almost bare standards which wera boms In
front of the skeleton organisations representing sumo
of tbe beat regiments ever sent from this tilatc. Again
and again did they irrnd up their buzzer, as the wtil
remembered names of glorious regiments esma up ood
pasted by.
It vra* fortunsle for the bystanders, a* well os for
the procession. that therein which had threatened for
soma lime hshlo.T until tbo chow was over. Wacn the
last organization had passed, the crowd was at liberty
to seek the shelter of the buildings, and they did so In
Urge numbers.
particularly tbs windows of the large stores and blocks
were full of young Udics, who wared their haudker
cLlefr, and joined in the applause started by the men
below, who testified their appreciation of the display in
this manner.
TUB APPEARANCE OF ALL THE MILITARY DODIEA
win very creditable, that of the First Regiment gen
erally attracting attention. It was their nm parade
in uniform, end they looked and marched like an old
instead of e new organisation. The people of Chicago
ore proud of them.
Everybody admired the Myere Cadets, of Toledo,
whose movements were executed wlta precision and a
regard for time, and the UtUe fellows received evon
more token* of epprobatlon than the First.
The llauutbil Zouaves (colored) were one of the
principal features of the line, tiiclr.departures from
the ordinary company movements in the shape of
croesoe, etc., displaying tbolr proficiency and charac
terizing them »s remarkably well drilled. Their
showy Zouave uniforms caught every eye, ted ejpe
dally were they cheered by their fdlow-oouutrymen
cf dusky hue, who found in thorn the chief feature of
the procession. John Junes wm tc.ipsoi for the Ums
being, and the County Commissioner was less of a
hero than the humblest private.
The Governor's Guards and the LaSalle Guards were
also much admired, and tho other military cumpaufes,
known here In Cnlcagn, won the plaudits of tho spec
tators by their soldierly bearing.
Tin; aitEATE.IT feature of the rr.ocEs.nos
aside from the veteran organizations, composed of the
men who know what ilia to be a soldier, and whose
tattered regimental Hags indicated the service they bad
done, was the war oaglo "Old Abo,’* the uotablo loader
of the Eighth Regiment of Wisconsin. Ho was captured
when quite young, and followed the regiment through
all their campaigns, going under fire with quite as
much coolness as the other two-legged
soldiers. Since the close of the war ho
has been an honored resident of the State Capitol et
Madison, and only come* out of his retirement on
parade-days. He m then in great glory, flapping his
wing* and screaming like the model bird of freedom
on the now obsolete |3>» gold-piece. "Old Abe " wae
tbe chief lion of tho day, and sat upon his perch with
Immense dignity.
Tho procession was a success in every sense of the
word, notwithstanding the Utter portion of the route
was marched over In a drizzling rain. Tho good
marching order observed by Infantry and cavalry was
a theme of general comment, and Is remarkable,
when it is considered that come of them
have b«4 so Utile practice, at least in public.
This turn-out will doubUeea be the means of awaken
ing a military fever which will fill the First Regiment,
sud mult in the formation of othore that will ulti
mately mako Chicago os famoaa fur her militu aa ah*
is for commercial enterprise and goahcadltiveueu.
TUB DECORATIONS.
There waa a general display of bunting do rn town,
and from many of the windows of stores and resi
dences small flags and evergreen-wreaths were bung
as en indication of the sympathies of the owners for
the ox-soldlers. In tho neighborhood of the Palmer
Home nearly every structure was more or lees
decorated with flags, large and small; and along
Michigan arena® Iho national banners of all size*
were hung from upper stories or waved by children.
Everybody lecimd to bo patriotic, and to contribute to
the success of the occasion.

ON THE STREETS.
SCENES AJCu INCIDENTS.
Tba street*, especially along the line of march, were
fairly thronged with aigbt-sccra, at least one-half of
whom were of the gentler sex, whom even the aharp
•bower which occurred during the height of the cele
bration failed to drive under any more aubetaullal
cover than that provided by umbrellas sod paratals.
It wss clear that tbo ladles had made up their minds to
eee the boye who had fought in the lust, or were ready
to do so In the future, aud that it would take quite an
extraordinary effort on the part of the elements to
drive them from the scene of enjoyment. Tbo
crowd was lu the main made up of Chicago res
ident*. the Indus of people front abroad not being
aa great ca bad been anticipated. A Thusvbb reporter
who convened with tbo tlckot-agcnU of the different
railroad companies learned that, during the poet few
dava.very tittle, if any, appreciable lucres*® of paasen

there was was routined to the territory lying within »

however, butane such accident occurred, sod nooo

of the ladles' smiles Into 111-suppresssd laughter.
MINOR PLACES OP AMURRMCNT.
The Ugcr-becr saloons, billiard-rooms, and other
ploce-j of refreshment and amusements shared in tho
general excitement, and did a lively business, especial
ly after the rrocc*»lcn broke np, and the boys sought
to recruit their Jaded energies la the cup that
cheers and docs not inebriate, unless re
jwslod to an undue extent. At those
phresl tho orrlril cf a souller never failed to causa
some litllo sensation, an ! there Is no qucstlou that tho
proprietors of tho sightecu oaloonu which flourish on
-1 msits ths Ciiy-Hair would fesl happy If a roimlon
could be gotten up twice a wcok op oftencr. Even tiw
Aldermen who ply the thlnt-sssuaglng nvocotion m
this vicinity teemed to forget all aboutlnjuncUous and
contempt of court, and slung tho fusmtug boer-glsesi
with an energy and estlefactlon tliot put to flight tho
idea that over each of their heads hungaaword of
Bioiocls/, width it needed on!}* tho election
of a Circuit Court Judge to let
drop upon them. It must oe confessed,
however, that the Grand Army docs not play
a good game of billiards, for to a careful observer it
wo* painfully apparent that tho civilian In mufti wes,
In almost every case, getting sway m tho softest man
ner possible with the epaulcttcd son of Mara. This
waa especially the case when tho latter boro evidences
of hailing from country parts, and it would l.e perhaps
almost impossible to enumerate the greet number of
soft things which the non-military residents found In
tho shape of their bellicose, but by no billiard
title, cousins from the country.
PCBIIAPS THE KETEREaT DISAPPOINTMENT
of those who had placed themselves lu position to view
the procession was that which befell the thousand oc
more people, ladlos and gentleman, who awaited Us ar
t rival on Adams street, between Clark and LrUslle.
, There sre two sides to this street, tho southerly one of
j which is occupied by tho City-Hall sud tho Lakoaid*
| BaiMiug. wboee windows were crowded wllhoxpoct
, urn *!*>etsion, and tho northerly one, which is ouo
1 continued row of drinking-pisees, soma fif
teen lu number. If tho south side of tho
stmt was, by reason of the fair faces peepbin
curiously from it# windows, the more attractive el tho
two, it moat be confessed that tho north aide did tho
biggest business. A* a matter of fact, it would be dif
ficult to guce* »t tho exact number of borrclaof beer
and bottles of more dlrcctly-ssting Upplo these fifteen
saloons emptied in the course of the morning, but tho
moment at which business was briskest was just pre
vious to tho arrival of th« procession moving south on
LaSalle street. According to programme, tt r.hould
hsve loft-wheeled along Adams street, ana lu (bis an
tidpatlon tbs ladies ou ouo rids of Ihs road raised
their opera-glasses and tho men on tho other aide
dropped their beer ditto and msdu a rush for
the sldewolk. Unfortunately for the former tho pro
ceselou kept on Its southerly course along LaSalle
street, and after all their long writ ths momenta passed
without a fruition of their hopes. Tho male portion
of ths occupants of the street, however, as soon as
they perceived tho elate of clfalrs.Jilartod off helter
skelter for Jackson street In a wild rush through tho
nilcv lu which an old man got knocked down and bad
ly trampled upon before the excited, nut to say exhil
arated, mob could bu brought to a proper appreciation
of hts rights os n citizen. This sudden exodus from
ths saloon-shanties bad a very dispiriting effect
upon the proprietors, who looked upon tho change In
the route of the procession us a vlio infringement on
their rights, but when, after the crowd had fully en
joyed the sight, they returned to headquarters, with
auxiliaries In the shape of numerous uniformed com
rades with a " O. A. It,” ou the front of their huts, tho
merry click of the glasses ou the counter again re
| soauded iu theair, and the ftoes of tho AJdermsnio
j beer-hilngerh resumed their accustomed serenity. Not
; sa. however, with the ladles who had been obliged to
sit lu their windows and bear tho dtiappolol
| Ru-nt. Many of thorn were quite fierce in their
I denunciations of the fraud which had been practiced
j upca them, nod In ur-vrtiDg that It wjo the lust, tho
very hut, lime that they would submit to such an
outrage.
The must eventful feature of the day, however, wee
thu ihrtllmg fur-t that a Wnt Side street-railway hono
gut madly excited by the music, hroxu the traces, lied
furiously away, anti has not yet been captured. The
car, Jammed with luiscngers, came to a standstill at
tho bridge, and remained there until another horse
could bo obtained.
ACCIDENTS.
While the procession wes Just about to take up ths
Hoe of march, ye-'tcrdity forenoon, ll.a spirited horse
upon which Deputy Hupt. of I'nilco Hickey was mount
ed became frightened at the sound of the music from
a band near by nud throw his rider violently to (he
ground and trampled upon him. The ultualloa of thu
olUccr woe perilous for n moment, but the skittish
horse was soon curbed aud hts master attended to. A
nevero cut over-tha left eye aud a bruise on the loft
hip, caused by the horse’s hoofs, were the injuries
given. The accident occurred ou Washington stool
bctwuon Omou and I'ecria, and the BUtlerer was taken
to a drugstore and attended to by a physician. Ho
was subsequently taken home.
Ona of the flcld-oßlcors of the First Regiment of
tho State Guard fetched out a prancing, ugly steed
yesterday, and wan requested to exchange mm for an
other, but the foolhardy fellow would not do it, aud
when the column was moving in from of the Exposi
tion Building, the animal reared, plunged, and ran
swey, throwing his rider, and hurting Olfieera Mead,
Carson, Miller, and McNaugblou, who were in the
police-platoon. Fortunately nuns of them wera sev
erely Injured. The name of the stubborn individual
was not learned.
THE PROMENADE CONCERT.
CROWD AT TUB KXPURITXON DUILOIBO.
The promenade concert at the Exposition Building
Jut evening resolved itself, as everybody anticipated,
ami indeed as It ought to have done, into a pretty
gathering of ladles, gentlemen, boys, warrior*, and
nondescripts under tho influence of Uoffmann, Tho
Exposition Building wee not occupied entirely. But
ouo-half of it via given up to the wUchcrlc* of mnalo
and the pleasure* of promenade, Thu other half was
engulfed in Cimmerian darkness, ideasant to lover*
and gratifying to jdek pockets. The dividing line which
separated the gay from the aoailre, the spoony
from the indifferent, was at ouco martial,
mechanical, and philosophical. It was com*
posed of a red-balto compartment, In which
multitudes, stimulated to uxeesuive military cd
thuelam by the events of the day, studied the science
of war from a painting of Look-Out Mountain, The
adjacent section of tho dividing lino was the house,
that-Jack-buiU looking structure representing the Cor
nell watch factory. The philosophical portion of this
achcroutlo frontier was the sagacious reflection, legible
upon a shingle: “ OmvtUJrd of your life la spent in
bed.” Naturally, most pcoplo avoided tha gates of
darkness, and scattered themselves throughout the
rest of tho building to tbs numbsr of not lesstlum
4,009, Half an Exposition building like ours is uood
enough fur a promenade concert, and even thou there
Ja room for hundreds more to move about without dlf-
Acuity. Thu building was

s languid enjoyment of the Lilse of capturing a gray
