Selig summary: 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 marines, an escort of honor and finally the carriage showing the famous Admiral. A full face view is obtained as the carriage turns a 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.
