sing Jubilates! sound the tocsin strike the
cymbals! beat the drum. We are proud
Wasbingtopians-we are-sfter the gorgeous
political pageant Of Saturday got up by our
own citizens, regardless Of expense and with
out consideration Of outlay. We are surprised
and indignant that the press Of our own and
neighboring cities slur over this demopstra-
ton so slightingiy, and it shan't be said tn at
the Star has failed to do justice to politica al
opponents in q matter which does so much
credit TO US as a city.
The morning, then, Of Saturday, dawned
brightly, auspiciously. At sunrise a sal ute
was fred from park of Lancaster guns from
the top Of the W Washington Monument, (which
has lately been completed by the Know Nth
ings0 and from the plaza in front of Island
Hall. This was the signal for the gathering
OF the myrlads of people of all ranks, ages,
sexes, conditions. and style, who designed
participating IN the extraordinary demonstra-
tion Of the day The scene, which now began
to pile up with grandeur, reached its culmi-
mating point, when the pageant commenced
moving, st half past seven q. NJ, amid the
roar OF cannon, the ringing Of bells, the cla-
NOR Of voices, the nodding of plumes, the roll
of drums, the waving of handkerchiefs, the
flourish Of trumpets, the Tutoring of flags
&C horses, the crash Of bands, the chanting of
patriotic hymns by the moving clans, and the
huIIas Of the immense multitude which occu-
pied the sidewalks. The procession, when
formed, extended from Benning's bridge to
Tennally town, and was FIVE hours and sixty
Ave minutes in passing given point.
The following programme Of the order Of
procession gives but faint idea to the reader
Of the grand result:
