pEooKAT1oN DAY.
Iahe View put on its best spring attire yester-
day for the benefit OF decoratiorAsts, eager to
ret away from the dust OF the city to green fields
and quiet lanes. The plentiful showers Of tho
day srectually superseded the impo--
tent efforts Of tha gravel road spTinklers. and
provided pleasant drive for numbers who took
this route to the cemeteries. While the grand
point Iof interest was Rosebill Cemetery, to
which the clans mustered, still many OF the more
quietly dispozed preferred a visit to Grace1and,
for the mere enjoyment Of thu holiday: Extra
dummy trains wero run throughout thu day, and
carried full loads.
