ging away at his case. Orville G. Miller, az
Franklin the Editor, sitting at his table, coz
ming newspapers, scribbIing, or turning over
files, looked the idea completely. Then We
had Franklin as the Revolutionary Patriot,
represented by II. G. Coates and finally,
franklin as the Foreign ambassador, in Court
costume, by Mr.. Louis Fisher, finished the
interesting picture. One of the old Franklin
p hitting Presses, Ramage's improvement
worked by II. 1. Vance as FRESHMAN, and with
Steph Grindemire as mixer to work the balls
threw off extras during the procession, which
were distributed to the crowd. Miss E. L.
Dow accompanied this car, riding on horse
back, appropriately costumed to represent a
lady of the olden time.
This whole thing was SO we'll gotten up
that it formed most pertinent and appropri-
ate decoration, and elected great praise for the
ingenuity and skill of the getters up and de-
signers of the entire tableau. The car was
magnificently adorned, and drawn by six black
horses, wearing trappings with the names Of
Franklin" Field" Morse" printed upon
them.
Following this was car drawn by four
horses, whereon were several
BooK-BINDERs
Apparently busy in collecting and perpetu-
ating the works of genius" representing the
| different stages of that work. Immediately
| after this came the
BOYS on HORSEBACK,
To the number of about 60 or 70, with blue
scarfs, and bearing small flags. These served
as an escort to = carriage containing
PRESIDENT BUCHANAN AND QUEEN VICTORIA
Besides other representations. Our Pres
dent was represented in the person of Master
George Folsom, and we doubt if the e Sage
of Wheatland" himself ever looked more
grave and dignifed. Queen Victoria was re.
presented by Miss Rosa Larpenteur 1.-THE
first child born after laying out the town
site of Saint Paul in the year 1919 This
young lady was the cynosure of all eyes, be.
ing dressed in most magnificent costume
costing about 5000, and wearing coronet Of
diamonds The dress was rich beyond des
criptlon, though not being familiar with the
nomenclature of such things, we cannot de-
scribe it. Suffice it to say that it was fit for
an Empress to wear on any occasion, and the
regal beauty of its fair wearer left many ir
doubt which to admire the most. We should
mention, that Master Folsom was dressed ir
white neckcloth, with dress hat, and it was
not little amusing to observe him initiating
the stiff way in which the President turns
around to salute crowd, his stiff neck com
peling him to swing his whole body around
in the effort. The miniature Buck" lifted
his hat most gracefully and bowed most stiff:
ly in perfect character. A smart boy that
Miss I4arpcnteur also showered her queenly
courtesies appropriately on the crowd. Next
was
FLORAL CAR,

with flowers, representing May Party. A
May Pole in the centre was hung with gar
lands Following this was

after the last of these came another grea
feature of the occasion,

young ladies, dressed in white, emblematica
of the thirty-three States of our Union
Each was decorated with scarf OF blue with

ed thereon, aud also a red sash, and carried ;
small flag. This car was greeted with ap
pause along the whole route, and attracted ;
great deal of attention. 1t was got up and
arranged by Mr. j. Ii. Gates, and William II
Kelly, Esq, who spent several days in it
preparation, and arranging the design. IL
L. NJ. Ford, of the Groveland Nursery, cred

beautiful boquets he distributed among the

decorations stretched across the street. W.
