war been observed as it used to be, but the
observance yesterday was as sincere and
genuine as it ever was. Our regiment,

OF not having the proper encouragement
from our authorities, made q handsome ap-
pearance as It paraded through the streets,
and the turnout of beholders was "large
|, and influential" - =
The dress-parade on. Broad street was
highly creditable, and it Is to be hoped that
measures will be taken BY our citizens to
make the First Virginia an ornament to our
city and pride to our State. Major John
B. Purcell commanded the regiment, and
showed himself every inch soldier and a
worthy officer. !. 90 .r1@...s af,-.f..

upon Mr.. j. L. Whitaker offered a resolu-
tton that the anniversary be celebrated by
parade OF ali the Catholic societies who
wished to participate.
The resolution was discussed at some
length, several delegates speaking earnestly
in favor of dispensing with the parade.
| while others were equally as earnest in
advocating the time-honored custom OF
celebrating the DAY by becoming demon
