street Parade Yesterday-Ad addresses
ball
The celebration which was COM
menced at ii o'clock Tuesday evening
by our Mexican citizens, was contin-
ued throughout the day yesterday with
demonstrations and festivities suited
to the occasion. On Tuesday evening
Sonora presented an attractive appear
ance, illuminated along its principal
streets with lamps and transparencies.
Many of the stores were illuminated,
noticeably among which we can men
ton the establishment of Mr.. J. D..
Guerrero, which was decorated with q
long line of lights, giving very strik-
ing effect. On the open space adjoin-
ing the headquarters of the Junta Pa
trotica a platform was constructed
and appropriately decorated with green
boughs and Mexican and American
flags. At the appointed hour, the of
ficers of the Society and the partici-
pants in the ceremony took their
places upon the platform, and Senior
Loreto Benavidez, President of the
Junta Patriotica de Juarez, introduced
Sefior Pioquinto Davila,. who pro-
nounced the
"GRITo DE INDEPENDENCIA"
As the representative of the Priest
Hidalgo. Upon the conclusion of a
short and spirited address, he raised
the shout of "Viva Merico," which was
taken up in answering shouts of the
assemblage and the salutes of artillery.
The procession then formed in the
order given in the HERALD yesterday
and took up the line of march through
the principal streets of the city. A
long line of torches was borne by the
paraders, and the discharge of rockets
and Roman candles added spirit and
beauty to the scene. The display
throughout was very fine. At late
hour the celebrators dispersed and
adjourned their carnival until
YESTERDAY
The first public demonstration COM
menced at P. NJ, when the process
sion reformed, led by the Grand
Marshals, Refugio Botillo and Ramon
Benefits, with their aids. Next came
Piepenberg's Band, followed in turn
by the Los Angeles Rifles, the Mexi-
can Military Company, who made a
very creditable display. Two tri-
umphal cars followed, representing
Mexico and America, and they were
succeeded by the standards borne at
the head of a column formed by the
members of the Junta Patri0tica de
Juarez. The flags were the Mexican,
American, and the banner of the
Juuta Patriotica. The procession
was concluded by long line of horse
men and citizens in carriages.
