cession, and several of the spectators were
struck by them. One or two lamps were
smashed here, and as many arrests made
The march 10 the theatre was literally forced
one, and made in the face of much insult and
annoyance. AT the theatre, another rush was
made upon tue procession as the mem berS

rests were made OF parties detected in the act
of throwing bricks and other missiles into the
procession. Rev. French S. Evans addressed
the meeting which was broken about III O'Clock
in the widest confusion.
