bition OF fancy uniforms. II wns thcn n day or
enjoyment celebrated by pic-nics aud rural gath
eriRgB, shooting nj target and similar amusc-
incnts. Prominent among the organizations that
: had this day as their anniversary was tho Pal
metto Guard, ono Of The most popular military
compsniesi in tho city. Tho 2slh with them was n
day long to DO remembered as tho brightest in tho
year, and ono to be cOmmemoratcd with tho dis

Palmetto Guard fought, biod, and surcred, and
the survivors have inaugurutcd charitable asso-
clifton, which will celebrate is first anniversary TO-

brate tho day in 20 oldon tmo, and will make tho
18th known as tho annivcrsary Of tho society

OF tho military commnndant OF tho post, and will
be onlivoned by display Of Tho United Statos flag
from tho different public buildings, and 1no OK
hibition Of colors from vessels In port Although
thore will be no procession Of patriotic associations
hke there was In the days OF tho "palme otto So
ciety, NOR such stirring addresses as used to be
heard from tho lips Of such orators ga CnArrs.
HAIo, and others, still thero arc many who will
look upon this day as an anniversary which they
nave aiWsys enjoyed, and which they will celebrate
as heartily as over, but perhaps moro modcstly.
The performances Of tho splendid band Of tho
Sixth infantry will, we arc sure, fill tho Battery
this evening with lovely womon md delighted
children.
