perch aud the lions TO small audiences. Every
one nocked where the bands discoursed patriotlc

A line was hung forming square enclosure, and in
siue OF that tobacco smoke was allowed TO offend
sensitivc Dostrils. The only difference betwcon the
people yesterday and Sunday was that they were,
perhaps dressed iittlc better; but they seemed
weighed down with the consciousness that they were
celebrating something. Beneath the marble arch til
beer glasses tinkled little velier than Sunday.

larly one expects wit the fourth OF July. The quiet
