On Water street the republican headquar-
tiers, Granite Hall, and the Office of Baker
Weeks were illuminated.
The decorations and Examinations were the
most elegant ever attempted in this city. and
were greeted with cheers along the line Of
procession.
The procession made a brilliant, imposing
spectacle as it passed along the streets. Prob
ably grander peagant was never seen in our
Guy. lie uniforms OF the several OTSaTlLd-
tons were handsome and tasteful, and those
who wore them were fine looking, intelligent
men. The eight bands of music discoursed
their most inspiring airs, and added greatly to
the enjoyment of the occasion. We would be
happy to particularize in regard to those or
CARNATIONS that seemed to excel in beauty Of
uniform and drill, but space forbids we must
however, say that the Grant Zouaves Of
Waterville, composed of bright, handsome
boys between 10 and II years Of age, were a
fine feature of the procession. They were
uniformed in red shirts, leggins, and blue
caps with red tassels. They were special ia
vorites with the crowd. The procession
marched through the prescribed streets and
halted and massed, at the stand near the Au-
gusta House and listened to speeches from
Gen. Hawley and Judge Settle.
Gen. Conner came forward and in behalf of
the Tanners of Augusta, welcomed the visit
ing Tanners, and introduced Gen. j. r. Haw-
ley of Connecticut.
