spectators.
After the route of procession had heen
gone over, the military and others were dis
missed for dinner. Tables were set at the
corner of jefferson and Main streets, where a
bountiful repast was prepared, and we learn
that it was highly satisfactory to those who
partook.
AT about O'Clock, the military marched to
the grand stand ON York street, where they
were reviewed by Maj. General Mott and
staff
AT $3.50 the audience in front of the stand
were called to order by G. A. Skillman, ESQ.,
who introduced Gen. Campbell, of Trenton,
and Hon. G. w. Thompson, of Bordentown,
who delivered short addresses. Mr.. Skillman
followed with some remarks descriptive of the
movements of Washington's Army In this vi
entity, and A. II. Holcombe, Esq, followed
in a similar strain. The exercises closed with
the benediction by Rev. Mr.. Carroll
From some cause, the several prominent
speakers announced, several of whom gave
absolute promises, failed to attend.
Toward evening, the military and others
departed and our city put on its everyday APP
pearance.
Our citizens were pleased to see with us a.
gain, the 18th Regiment of the National Guard.
They were also particularly gratified to have
a visit from Co. G. of Duylestown, an excel
lent militay organization, composed of many
of the best citizens of our neighboring town.
A great many incidents connected with the
celebration deserve notice, but we have not
space at command in this ISSUE
The affair was a grand success notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather and will
long be remembered by our people and by
those who were in attendance.
In another column we give the impressions
