ODD FELLOWS CRLRBRA.

The Odd Fellows. Celebration at
Carson, yesterday, was = very fine
affair, and all who participated
speak In high terms Of admiration
thereof. A large number Of the Odd
Fellows of Gold Hill, Virginia, Day
ton, Silver City, and other towns were
present. including quite a delegation
from Reno. Being unable to put in a
personal appearance on the occasion
and report the celebration to suit our
self, we copy the following descriptive
particulars from the Carson Appeal, OF
this morning:
The Proeessios.
ut Is several years since 80 fine a
display has been Q in Carson rs was
yesterday presented. The day was
very beautiful = bright and balmy.
About noon the head Of the procession
reached Carson street, preceded by the
Grand Marshal and his aids anda band
Of music. They marched past u office
and we had q fair chance to observe
their movements and count their num-
bers. They marched we'll, aud the
Marshals were highly successful In
keeping an unbroken line. A second
division Of the procession was also
preceded by a band. The whole line
extended around three sides of the
Plaza-the right beingOpposite Smiths
Tor Winnie's) stable, while the left was
passing u office. There were, alto
gether, on foot, on horseback and in
carriages, two hundred and sixty men.
The ladies Of the Order Of Rebekah
were In carriages and numbered about
fifty. After marching over the desig-
mated route, the procession halted with
the right Of the line resting at the the
atre, and the left (of the footmen) OH
Carson street, opposite the Controllers
office ; and then, the footmen being
formed In open column, the carriages
with the ladies and officers Of the day,
passed through the line, following the
vehicles, left In front. This maneuver
was very we'll done.
The Exercises
at the theater Of a very interest
ing nature. Hon. ID. o. Addison pre-
sided; the band played all overture;
Rev. Hammond opened the exercises
with an appropriate prayer; All Ode
was sung with good effect by the ell
tire Order; Hon. p. IL. Clayton de-
livered an grafton Astounding in excel
lent ideas; and Col. Bob Taylor deliv-
cred 4 beautiful original poem. After
more singing, a benediction, and music
by the band, they again formed in line
and marched to Odd Fellows Hall,
when the veil fell which excluded the
further performances from our outside
and uninitiated gaze. The entire dis
play, and all the public exercises, were
eminently appropriate and creditable.
The C~arriases
In the procession numbered about
twenty, and among them were in
several very fine turnouts. The
neatest and best Of them all, however,
was the fine new three-seat carriage
driven by Bennett, Of Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S. It was . thorough-brace vehicle
Of a new and original style, seating
nine ladies, and drawn by four splen-
did bay horses, and attracted universal
attention as 1t passed along, from all
good judges Of such things.
The Rail-
In the evening was largely attended
by members Of the Order and their
ladies, and was q very brilliant affair.
1t was kept up till = late hour, and all
present enjoyed themselves to the
utmost. All the Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia people, especially, who were
present speak highly Of the kind atten-
lions and Inequalities Of the Carson
ties.
