The sixth grand rally of the Fillmore Rangers, at
odd Fellows Hall on Saturday night, displayed no
abatement in the least of the tlmntuous enthusiasm
that characterized the rally of the previous Saturday
nl9ht. The hall was again jammed to suffocation
and great numbers were compelled to retire, in de-
spair of gaining admission. .~..
The different Clubs of the Rangers arrived in their
usual strength, and as all Of them greeted the ear
With music, and the eye with blaze of particolored
transparences and motto-lghts, it need not be said
what degree of enthusiasm marked their arrival.
several OF the Clubs, too, were new, and on that
account were hailed with deafenng and continued
SHOUTS OF accamatlon. The twin Clubs of the First
District, the Union and the Donelson with the Junior
Fillmore Club, were first to enter and take their
places Then came the National Club, its first turn.

AZ the proper hour the meeting was called to order
ana the programme of the evening read by Mr.. How

i First in order was the debut of the Fillmore Gee
o1op' select and patriotic band of good .singers
headed by our musical friends Jas. Beggs and VIM,

str'ihehta musicians and greeted the public ear for
tne illst time, with Mr. Bigneys famous national sonc
heep stepto the Music,'' set to an original air by
lfol Won La Hache. AS the words were previously,
popuar' and the air pleasing andspirited, we need
haldly say that the singers won for the song and
themselves boisteroHs round of applause.
Next came speech by Thomas Mcdonnell, ESQ.,, a
young and rising member of the: New Orleans bar
IL requires trumpet voice to be heard distinctly all
over odd Fellows Hall when it is densely crowded
;as It was on Saturday night consequently, as our
young friend is gifted with only an ordinary human
throat, large portion Of the audience-ourselyes

up Camp street, and DR.. Harmon had been address

and proceeded up st. Charles street to Julia down

their music and lights bringing out all the people on
the line of march, and their noble appearance and
high enthusiasm awaking kindred enthusiasm in
every square they passed.
Upon disbandng, the Union and Doncson Clubs
passed our office and gave the usual and acceptable
compliment of three cheers. They then crossed over
to St. Charles street and drew up in line in order to
compliment the Second and Third District Clubs as
they passed down on their homeward march. We
need hardly say that the heartest cheers were ex-
changed on the interesting occasion. The Union
Club then, by invitation, accompanied the Doneson
Club to their headquarters on Perdi1o street. where
refreshments set out, and where the liveest in
terchange of cordalities took pace-afer which there
was separation and general dispersion homeward
The fact is fixed and fairly clinched that New Or
leans is red-hot for Fillmore and the Union.
