The scene on reaching the city was decidedly i'm
posing. The bands on the boats were playing, the
steam whistles at intervals roaring ike concentrat
ed hurricanes the cannon laundering from the
shore and the boats loaded to the guards with peo-
pie, whose shouts were answered back with in
terests.
On the roof Of one of the foundres IN the lower
part of the city, the w0rknen were out with flag
of our country marching to the Emusic of the In
ion''-salutes were fired from the wharf and from
the Newport Barracks.
The people turned out from the city largely, and
blackened the boats and the landing, showing the
enthused state Of popular feeling.
The boats swept grandly past the city up to the
Depot where they landed.
Owing to the inconveniently early hour at which
the boats arrived and the limited notice which had
been given Of the programme the crowd on the
wharf not as great as 1t would have been
under other circumstances The buildings in front
of the landing were beautifully decorated with
flags. The approach Of the boats from below was
announced by gun from the barracks across the
river and then the brass field pieces from this side,
which were efficiently served by a squad of the
Independent Guthrie Artillery, under the command
Of Capt Phil Gloon, joined, in, believing deep

where they paused in the middle Of the stream,
while the Silver Moon and BOstOna detached them
selves from the Strader, the latter continuing her

cheers, which were as heartily returned At the
depot of the Little Miami road the guests disem-
barked took seats in the cars Of the special train,

Polk with inconsistency. He said on one occasion
