The CITY GUARD PARADE.-The Richmond
City Guard, Captain Charles F. Taylor, will
have grand full dress-parade this evening
at 5 O'Clock. They will assemble at the Old
Market Hall and march up Main street to
Fifth, across Fifth to Franklin, and thence
UP to Monroe Park, where they will take
omnibuses and proceed to the handsome
suburban residence OF MIR. .. j. school
craft. Here there will be target-shootlns
match, and beautiful silver medal will be
given the best shot. There will also be a
banquet after the target-shooting. One o!
the interesting features of this parade will
be the fact that it is the first time a city COM
pany has appeared on the streets OF Rich
mond in any but the regulation gray uni
form in the last fifteen years. The Young
Guard was, we believe, the last company
that paraded before the war in blue uni
form.
The Walker Light Guard will be present
at the banquet and target-shooting by inyi-
tation of the City Guard.
