Dewey Parade

Dewey Parade

The finest street parade ever shown, taken at the time Admiral Dewey visited Chicago in May. The parade shows first a mounted squad of Chicago's "finest," followed by cavalry, infantry and marine, and escort of honor and finally the carriage showing the famous Admiral. A full face view is obtained as the carriage turns the corner, and Dewey is seen in the act of bowing his acknowledgments to the vociferous applause which greets him from both sides of the street. The best picture of the "fighting Admiral" ever obtained.

Dewey Parade

The finest street parade ever shown, taken at the time Admiral Dewey visited Chicago shortly after the battle of Manilla bay. The parade shows first a mounted squad of Chicago's "finest," followed by cavalry, infantry and marine, and escort of honor and finally the carriage showing the famous admiral. A full face view is obtained as the carriage turns the corner, and Dewey is seen in the act of bowing his acknowledgment to the vociferous applause which greets him from both sides of the street.

The scene of Admiral Dewey's return was another excellent one. The great hero could be seen bowing to the right and left as he I wheeled through the streets of New York. The falling snow in this was especially noticeable.
