The horsemen, more than seven hundred in num-
Der, formed on Hanover street. The lines were
| made up six abreast, and at half past o'clock
the march commenced. The scene presented as
the head of the lst division entered Baltimore street
was truly exciting. Down South street to the
waters edge there waving forest of lamps
| and transparences. Baltimore street, from Cal
| vert to Holiday street, and up to Fayette one
thrObbing mass of human beings, so dense that it
was almost impossible to force way through it.
The city passenger railway cars could not move,
and long line of them gathered in the street.
The line filed out of South street and proceeded up
to Hanover street, when the horsemen entered Bal
tmore street and took the van They all bore
lamps, and as far as they eye could see, Baltimore
street looked like street of fire. The side walks
| either side were thronged with men, women and
| children. Store boxes, porches, awnings, and in
| fact any elevation sought a means of Observ
| ing the procession.
As the procession passed along the street the
throng gathered until it almost impossible for
! the procession to move along. Different houses
along the route were illuminated, and from hun
dreds of windows ladies waved their handkerchiefs
| while the people on the pavements cheered with
enthusiasm until the very welkin rung. The route
was along Baltimore to Fremont street, thence to
|
of Mccullough and Bidde, the house of Gen. John
| Wesley Watkins was brilliantly illuminated, and
the windows were thronged with ladies waving
their handkerchiefs, while from the roof of the
| house rockets and other fire works were lighting
! the heavens.
The line continued up Mccullough street to Dol
phin, thence to Madison Avenue, thence to Eutaw
| street, and thence to Monument street. The ap-
pearancc along Monument street near the monu-
ment was beautiful. A large number of the houses
were Illuminated. The windows were filled with
ladies, and cheers greeted the procession at every
step. The most attractive feature in the line was
the representation OF the goddess of liberty set
| ting in a temple, while surrounding her were
youths dressed sailors and mechanics Horses
richly caparisoned, led by grooms gay attired,
drew this cortege, and the effect was excellent
| On another wagon was representation of honest
industry-an anvil, with a man in smithy's suit,
apparently engaged at work. The procession con-
tinued along Monument street to Charles, thence
Eager, thence to Aisquith, thence to Monument,
and thence to Eden. The display of fireworks and
illumnations Aisquith and Eden streets was also
beautiful and the same reception which greeted the
procession from its start, awaited it here.
On Eden an addition was made to the line. 1t
| consisted OF buggy containg two persons, one of
them dressed as Horace Greeley, and the other as
a negress. On the sides of the buggy were the
words, ''Horace Greey and his wife en- route to
visit Abe Lincoln" This created much amusement.
The line passed on to Baltimore street, and thence
to Broadway, and marched down to the markets,
| and then countermarched.
The procession was just long enough to fill up
the street from Baltimore street to Eastern avenue.
When the head of the column had returned as far
as Baltimore street, the rear just leaving it
Although the display along the line had been beau
tiful, it not to be compared to that which
Broadway presented. The street was in blaze oil
light from the thousands of torches; the windows
of the houses, in many instances. richly llu-
minated, while the sky brilliant with the varied
colored lights from rockets, candles and
other fire works.
The street was a sea of fire; the pavements were
crowded to excess with people who had come fro II
all parts of the city to witness the display; the mu
titude wild with excitement, and the most in
tense interest and delight anifested by all. The
scene was the most glowing and beautiful ever pre-
sented on Broadway. The procession then return
ed to the head quarters of the Volunteers by way
of Baltimore street, and quietly dispersed There
were over three thousand persons in the procession
