Poet, Reader and Chaplain, all of whom
seemed to enjoy their comfortable positions
THE PRESIDENT oE THE DAY
Walked, (Zeke, had box on the front seat
so that no one could mar his glory, and there
was no hind BOOTY
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Was well represented by the Warrens and the
V. & T. in full force Respondent in their new
uniforms, A pleasant feature being two
youthful fre-boys or girls, we couldn't tell
which, in an arbor of flowers and bunting on
the V. & T. carriage. That Of the Warren
was very tastefully decorated and reflected
great credit upon the decorators.
The Z. and c. Veterans were unavoidably
absent owing principally to the departure
from the city of Brigadier General c. S. Mott,
now P NJ under federal appointment
formerly president of the association and
agent for the badges.
THE LITTLE GIRLS BAND
Was a beautiful feature and amply compen-
stated for the lost car of state.

CITIZENS IN CARRIAGES.
This was the most distinguished feature of
the procession and made a striking finale
As a canine without an appendage, would have |
been our Grand Procession without the item |
of citizens in carriages 1t was a gorgeous |
spectacle. Such dignity, such grace Ye |
gods such style Our pencil trembles as
we attempt the description. One one-horse
buggy, containing his excellency Fred Turner
in command of the ribbons, Fred Campbell
on the extreme left (near sde), small boy
sandwiched between them, and yellow dog
in the front. Only this and nothing more.
CITIZENS ON FOOT.
A State officer was intended to fill this posi-
ton in the programme, but stopping at Pera-
sich's to buy flag and pack of fire crack
ers, was left behind, and this portion of the
was omitted with the consent of
many citizens. The line of march may be
ound by consulting files of the MORNING
APPEAL in this office, without charge, but
he Procession did not follow it, 1t seldom
loes, the object of lines of march being to
olect people on the wrong corners. At the

The exercises were of an unusually interest
no nature. The music by the band and the
ongs by the glee club were par-excellence
The reading of the Declaration was rendered
n a manner which tended to remove all dry '
less from that well-worn but ever popular
instrument. The poem was excellent, well
elivered, and what is not usual in poems,
