OF the Twcnty.third TO go up Broadway as far as
Canal street. but as III dong 50 they would not strike
any OF the private where the ladies would

ouced to give up the idea entirely IN order to get

Tie second brigade had field day OF 1t yesterday
made very nice appearance.
The "Old Guartlf have been land up for repairs

their elegant uniforms, looked spiendlily and were
