The procession proper was fully half
mile long, and the sidewalks and streets
were lined with people. The participa-
ton by the people was almost unanimous,
and was all that the most enthusiastic
hoped for and far above the expectations
OF almost everybody. The decoration Of
the city was superb. Thousands of flags
embracing some Of all nations were
flung TO the breeze, in fact nearly all the
houses on the prominent streets and many
in somewhat out OF the way places, were
literally covered with flags. Lines were
strung with flags and stretched across
Main, Congress and MeSilla streets; arch
WAYS were constructed with posts, green
willow branches, trimmed with flags, on
Main, Court, Cemetery, Pennington, Con-
vent. Meyers, Mccormick and perhaps
other streets and also on Church plaza;
fronts and tops of buildings were in some
Instances quite artistically decorated with
flags-and we do not think envy will be
unduly excited when we say that Major
j. II. Lord and VIM. Zeckendorf rather
excelled in this particular. 1t is safe to
say that no town in the United States
size considered-made a more liberal dis
play Of bunting and perhaps few if any a
more tasty one.
The exercises at the stand were rs per
programme and about the same as occurs
TO greater or less extent on all Fourths OF
TuIv. The addresses contained many eie-
CANT and particularly appropriate passa-
ges and sentiments, and the readings and
music were generally complimented. The
