and rain OF tho night preceding, finer day for
the celebration of the grand annual holiday o'

The hour Of nine o'clock, fixed for the forming
Of tho grand procession in Fast Broadway, was
found To bo, az On all similar occssions preceding,

where one could porch at an altitude litus
greater than his noi Shbors, were taken possOss-

pearanco OF the first society. Among the people

adorned coats, hats, vests, bonnets, and dresses

and green dresses were by no means rare. Toys
OF speculative habits drove a thriving trade In
small Irish and American flags, and in songs
relative to St. Patrick 8 birthday. Good htunor
universally prevailed. At ten o'clock the Thorn

the first OF all, and was greeted with prolonged
