As is usual on such occasions, the streets were
crowded with pedestrians, the larger portion of
whom were females, all bent on seeing the sights.

chasers set of by msehievous boys, and foolish
young men. There was very little TO be seen in
the stress. Stores generally were closed, and
all bus ness operations were suspended. Ameri
