From the Daily of the 9th.
The Junior yesterday celebrated in
Burlington. He left On the 20 train,
and arrived at Burlington at 10 80, in
time to see the whole of tho grand
procession, which was at least mile
long, and had representatives of all
the trades and occupations in Burling.
ton, sand wiched in with few bur-
lesques on such subjects as the Mar.
row Guage Railroad, the Prussian
Band, etc. Taken altogether, the pro-
cession was creditable one, but the
play OF tho Fourth OF July was en-
tirely left out, in the desire to adyer.
tise Burlington.
A very able address was delivered
by Robt. Collycr, of Chicago, but az
the speaking was on stand erected
in tho streets, but very few people
could hear what he said. Gen. Bel
knar, Secretary Of War, was present
as specially invited guest. and also
delivered a neat and eloquent i'm
promptu address. However, what was
missed in not hearing the address, was
made up in enthusiasm, and the people
were full of National pride. Hon. John
II. Gear acted a. President of the day,
and filed the place, a. he always ioes
every position, with dignity and grace.
After the speaking competitive
drill took place between the military
companies present for splendid flag,
and the Vinton Zonaves won the prize.
This was followed by Regatta on the
river, and number Of splendid races
were made by the several boating
clubs and amateurs. This occupied
the time up to 6 80, and as It then be-
tokened rain, the COURIER family
struck out for train headed home
ward. No sooner were We comforta.
bly, located than the rain poured
down in torrents, and continued 80 to
do until we reached home at l 80 this
morning.
Burlington never had 80 many peo-
pie In 1t before, tho sidewalks and
streets being literally packed. The
number of people from abroad being
estimated at from 10000 to % 600. The
people were all sober and orderly, no
disturbance occurring Of any kind
that we heard Of, and everybody en-
joyed themselves just ~ we'll a. they
could on such an occasion
The Ha.okeye, Gazette, and Acres
y Blackmar kept open houses, and
their badges welcomed their friends to
all places where the best things were
to be seen or heard. But this celebra-
tion convinced us that there is but one
way to comfortably celebrate the Clio
rious Fourth. and that is by Pic Mic
In some beautiful grove, and that
everybody bring their own dinner. In
any other way it is jam and a crowd
and more people 60 home cursing than
blessing the Fourth of July, because
Of headaches and tired bones.
The celebration 1t Burlington was
all could be under the circumstances
Its citizens were anxious to make
everybody happy, but in such jam
and hurrah it was impossible for any
body to be very comfortable.
