day three hundred Hibernians, all
. armed, with loud cheers took pos
session of TWenty-ninth street, I'M
mediately opposite the police, who
stood quietly waiting for orders.
When orders came the street was
cleared in two minutes, one detsch-
ment marching quickly down Twenty
ninth street, toward Seventh avenue,
and the two others, one up and one
down Eighth avenue, and the Hi
bernians disappeared. No shots were
fired, bat here and there the dull crack
Of the locust showed that some unfOr-
tunate had found out the thickness OF
his skull. In an instant the street was
empty. Every shop had its shutters
up, and nothing but policemen were
in sight, with the exception of an
intrepid photographer, who adjusted
his apparatus, to view the row, with
an imaginable cOOlness.
A SPEECH AND PRAYERS.
General ShaIer at first advised the
Orangemen not to bear the banners,
bat finally told them to carry what
they pleased. The Orangemen then
gave three cheers for Governor HOh-
man and three more for the stars and
stripes. The Master then eXhOrted
the brothers to keep peace and main
tain their dignity, and on no account
| retaliate for blows and insults while
on their march, and any brother be-
having disorderly would be expelled
from the order. The question then
arose as to whether the ladies were to
iOin the procession in carriages. The
ladies were not afraid, but finally
concluded to go home and await the
result. One brother was pointed out
as being well-knOwn TO the Irish Gath
Olics, and was requested not to go out,
+, that if he did there would certainly
ha = riot. Mr.. Thomas Bennett then
Offara.J a prayer for divine protection
on this s-reat day.
