Among the organizations that received special
young Oolumbans, who looked remarkably Well:
Perhaps the most striking feature OF the pageant
was the appearance OF The
PLAICORIAN GUARDS,
on horseback clad IN the ancient costumes were

They were dressed IN steel helmets and chain
armor, and wildly recalled the old Roman cavalry.
The car In which seated the Queen OF Italy
was magnIdcently decorated, aud IN addUon TO the
Queen were several guards dressed In Roman cos.
tune. Several banners were carried by 'Ancients,"
I'm when the name ''Sp0r" was very prominent.
Around the car were stationed the "Plaioorian" and
-'Lectar" Guards In Roman costume. Another car
was devoted TO science. On the Top We're q globe,
telescopes and other scientific apparatus. There
were five busts-the prom ent one being that of
DANTE.
Inscribed on the sides OF the car were the names
or Dante, Ariosto, Marco Polo, RanellO, Michael
Angelo, leonardo de VIncO and TassO. In front was
q miniature ship with three masts. galy decked
with numerous 1ags Two little boys, dressed as
sailors, sat upon each SIDE They carried American
fGgs.
on each side was written the name OF the dscoverer
OF America, and two little boys dressed as sailors,
and carrying American nags, sat either side.
Another trumphal car representing the principal
cities Of Italy, and occupied by about one hundred

ladies were placed seats raised one above the
other, and tner deep olive complexion, black hair
ana flashing eyes revealed al once
THEIR SOUTHERN ORIGIN.
When the procession reached the City Hall large
crowd had assembled TO see them pass anu ned
their posts with praiseworthy c0nstancy lE defiance
or the most soaking efforts Of the rain. Perhaps 1t
was owing TO the moisture OF the atmosphere that
the reception OF the procession BY the crowd was
80 cool; but II Is certain there was no enthusiasm,
but only little curiosity manifested by the spec
tatcrs. Even an effort made by the young ladies 10
get up little excitement
WAS FAILURE,
as the crowd, with unheard OF want OF gallantry,
gave no responsive cheer 10 the appeal OF the lair
Italians. good deal OF quiet sympathy was, how.
ever, manifested, and the waving OF handkerchiefs
from the windows on the line OF route vigorous
ana continuous. Evidently the cOuntrymen OF
Columbus are favortes with the ladies. AS the end
OF the procession passed into Broadway the violence
OF the storm ied0ublcd, and there seemed really
some danger that the Italian patriots might be
