A goocX meeting of the Galveston
Motorcycle Club was held in their club
rooms last night with an unusually
good attendance of members. Several
topics of interest to the motorcyclist
were discussed, especially plans for
attending the picnic to be given by
the Houston Motorcycle Club and to
up to $15.00. Your choice
was given that a run would be made
to the Clerks’ picnic Sunday, Captain
George Perussina announcing that he
would leave from the Island City Gar-
age at 8 o’clock and asking those who
wished to participate . to be there
promptly.
The Houston club has set the date
of the picnic for May 25th and asked
for a list of those Galvestonians who
may be expected. On this account the
secretary is sending out cards to all
members, asking them to nand in their
names if they intend going, so that
Houston may be properly advised as to
hoW many to expect. On this occasion
the start will be made at 7 o’clock
from the Island City Garage.

PARADE IS GIVEN. •
For the benefit of the visiting bank-
ers and the citizens of Galveston and
for the keeping of the soldiers in per-
fect trim, Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Ed-
wards of the Sixth brigade ordered
the Eighteenth infantry o parade
down Twenty-first street late yester-
day afternoon.
The novel spectacle of seeing Uncle
Sam’s soldiers parade on the streets
was witnessed by no small number of
Galvestonians and practically all the
bankers who are now in session in
Galveston. The exercise was with all
the splendor that a military eceremony
can be carried out, and was enjoyed
by every person who witnessed the
spectacle.
About sundown the soldiers of the
Eighteenth infantry, under the com-
mand of Thomas F. Davis, assembled
at the camping grounds at Twenty-
fifth street and boulevard and began
making preparations for the march
east on the boulevard to Twenty-first
street. The regimental band accom-
panied the infantry and aided in mak-
ing the ceremony all the more impres-
sive by playing the best military
marches. The band that plays “Happy
Heinie” as a regimental air was pro-
nounced by those several hundred peo-
ple who viewed the parade from the
seawall and sidewalks as one of the

GALVESTON TRIBUNE.
Unless unforeseen accidents prevent,
all dredging work on the Intercoastal
canal between Corpus Christi and Gal-
veston will be completed by June first.
There now remains less than four thou-
sand feet to be dredged in the canal,
this undredged portion lying between
the Brazos and San Bernard rivers, and
the dredging fleet is making headway
of about 203 feet per day. At this
rate the strip will be completed per-
haps June first or second, and from
that time on the entire 200 miles of
inland waterway will be available for
traffic of light draft vessels, sail or
power.
Those in charge of plans and program
for the celebration here incident to
the opening of this magnificent pro-
tected waterway have been given as-
surances from the local engineering
department that the canal will be in
readiness for the big parade several
days ahead of the scheduled time, June
9th to 12th, inclusive, when it is ex-
pected more than four hundred light
draft power boats will form in line and
make triumphal entry through the
Causeway channel into Galveston Bay,
traversing the harbor in parade and re-
view line, and finally stopping here
for two days of pleasure.
Will Go to Dickinson on Next Sun-
day.
The Spanish War Veterans of the
local and United States army camps
will participate in a large picnic at
Dickinson next Sunday. The outing,
which will be a family affair in every
way, will be given by the Gary Ord
that if Brownsville does not join, the
boats from his port will lead off the
morning of June 9, Monday, at 9
o’clock, and with anywhere between
six and twelve boats filled with en-
thusiastic canalites will proceed along
the newly completed waterway fol-
lowed by the fleet divisions from Port
Aransas, Aransas Pass, Rockport, Port
Lavaca, Seadrift, Palacios and other
towns and ports, making Port O’Con-
nor the night of June 9 and stopping
for the night at that place. Leaving
Port O’Connor the morning of Tuesday,
June 10, at 10 o’clock, the parade Ine
will pass through Matagorda bay and
other points, reaching Bernand by that
nght and arriving at Freeport not later
than 11 o’clock the morning of Wed-
nesday, June 11.
The Corpus participants at present
understand that the admiral will be on
board the official pilot boat at Free-
port and there join the procession, tak-
ing the lead from that point into Gal-
veston harbor. The start from Free-
port will be made during the afternoon
or evening of June 1 in time calcu-
lated to land all boats at entrance of
Galveston harbor, through the cause-
way channel, not later than 10 o’clock
the morning of June 12.
Several other interesting letters
from commodores of the various fleets
have been received during the week,
indicating a still increasing enthusi-
asm over the parade and celebration
attendant upon opening of this long
inland waterway.

This afternoon the Twenty-second
infantry, under the command of Col.
Daniel A. Frederick, will parade along
the same streets on which the Eight-
eenth paraded last evening. On to-
morrow afternoon the Eleventh infan-
try will escort the colors at the even-
ing ceremony. The escorting of col-
ors is a novelty in Galveston, it hav-
ing been observed but a few times
since the mobilization of troops here,
and it is thought will draw out no
small number of citizens. The Elev-
enth infantry is under the command of
Col. Arthur Williams.

While a lot of the Shriners who have
been attending the meeting of the im-
perial council in Dallas are to visit
Galveston next Sunday as a culmina-
tion to their tour of Texas a lot of
their noise got to town last night. Fred
M. Lege Jr., was holding a business
conversation over the long distance
telephone to Dallas when suddenly a
tremendous noise made it impossible
for him to hear what the Dallas man
was saying. Mr. Lege at first thought
the whole telephone line was coming
down but finaly was able to ask what
was the cause of the trouble. Over
the wire came the information:
“It’s only a lot of those Shriners
with about a million tin cans tied onto
a street car.”
Only routine work is occupying the
attention of the commanders of the
two brigades, the Fifth and Sixth, now
in Galveston. The officers of the Fifth
brigade are making final preparations
for the encampment of officers of the
Texas National Guard which goes into
I camp here Sunday morning for ten
days, and at the same time are con-
tinuing the work preparatory to the
tarset practice which will begin about:
June 1. The Sixth brigade, although
the office force was brought along
from Texas City when the brigade
hiked to Galveston last Monday morn-
ing for emergency use, has practically
suspended all work. Only the field
work is being done and the ‘men are
following out the plan of Brigadier
General Clarence R. Edwards in hav-
ing a good time while in this city.
The officers of the Fifth brigade
who were appointed yesterday morn-
ing by Colonel Cornman of the Sev-
enth infantry, commander of the Fifth
; brigade, to instruct the infantry of-
ficers of the state militia are work-
ing among themselves and agreeing
upon a plan of instruction under the
supervision of Captain H. S. Wagner.
Everything will be in readiness for the
officers, numbering about one hun-
dred and forty, when they arrive in
Galveston. It is thought those who
will come to Galveston for instruction
will arrive Saturday night and Sunday
morning and immediately go into the
camp which has been selected for
them on the reservation at Fort
Crockett.
The target practice is consuming a
greater portion of the time of the com-
manding officers’ attention at this time
than any other subject. The engineers
of the Fifth brigade leave camp each
morning for down the island where
the big event will be held and work
on the range Which is rapidly being
completed. In the meanwhile, the men
who will engage in the practice are
being given preliminary practice les-
sons in the way of position and aim-
ing drills.
The Sixth brigade continues its stay
in Galveston along the gulf front. The
men report that they are having a
great time in Galveston and that the
recreation that can be had here is sur-
prising. No one of the visitors has so
far registered a single kick against
Galveston’s ability to entertain.
HERE UNTIL MONDAY.
The visiting brigade, under the com-
mand of General Edwards, will remain
in Galveston until Monday morning,
when the shelter tents which are dot-
ting the ground along the boulevard
from Twenty-fifth to Thirty-third
street, will be taken down and rolled
into a huge pack which will be thrown
across shoulders, and the return march
made to Texas City.
The Fourth brigade will follow the
Sixth and be in Galveston, it is an-
nounced, within a few days after the
Sixth returns to camp at Texas City.
The men of the Fourth will be given
the same privileges, the suspension of
all drills except a short parade in the
evening, as the Sixtsh enjoyed during
their stay in Galveston.
Electric lights are being installed in
the camps of the Fifth brigade at Fort
Crockett. Owing to the fact that the
stay of the brigade is indefinite it was
thought by the commanding officer
that the electric lights will be a great
convenience to the soldiers. The lights
are being placed in all tents, both of-
ficers’ and enlisted men’s.
MAGRUDER ASIGNED.
First Lieut. Bruce Magruder, who
was Brig. Gen. Frederick A. Smith’s aid
during the general’s command of the
Fifth brigade, is making arrangements
today to join the Eighteenth infantry,
under the command of Col. E. T. Da-
vis, now encamped at Twenty-fifth
street' and the boulevard.
Gen. Smith’s retirement date, al-
though he retired from active command
the last da3 of April, is May 15. Lieut.
Magruder has been unassigned since
Gen. Smith retired and has been on
leave to San Antonio. The Eighteenth
infantry was Lieut. Magruder’s regi-
ment before he was made aid to Gen.
Smith, and to this command he is now
returning.
The Fourth infantry will parade this
afternoon on the parade grounds at
Fort Crockett. The Seventh regimental
band will give a concert prior to the
parade, at 4:30 o’clock.
