More than 7,000 New York policemen marched in the annual parade of the force on Saturday, May 6. Among those who were in the reviewing stand were Police Commissioner Woods and his staff, Governor Whitman, Major General Wood, Mayor Mitchel and all the heads of the municipal department. The policemen assembled at Eightieth Street and Fifth Avenue and proceeded south about 1 o'clock. The procession was led by the police band, followed by Chief Inspector Max F. Schmittberger and his staff. The parade, passed the reviewing stand and U.K. Whipple, the Animated cameraman at Fifth Avenue, between Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth street, about 2 o'clock. In a mock hold-up before this reviewing stand a policeman, posing as a thug, was accidentally shot by a patrolman, who thought the "hold-up" was a real one.
