| Great Western Band was in attendance and in the
| intervals between the speeches of the Douglas
men discoursed excellent music. About twelve
| O'Clock the crowd dispersed The police arrange
ments of Marshal Kane, for the preservation of
order in the square, afforded striking illustration
of the discipline and efficiency of the force and
