The Procession,

Soon after o'clock the procession COM
menced to form, the first on the ground being
the Winona band. The police, under Chief
Weber, were next, and were followed immedi-
ately by the fire department. Double line was
formed in reversed order of march the
Seven Corners and continued up to Senator
Ramsey's house. At q few minutes before 10
O'Clock the President made his appearance
before the large and enthusiastic
concourse which had assembled, and in
response to the repeated cheers and calls for
the "President,' he made a short and appropri-
ate speech, after which the party entered their
carriages down through the line formed on the
seven corners.
The procession was formed in the following
order:
Platoon of police, under command of Chief
Weber.
Great Western Band.
Detachment of 18th regiment, U. s. A.
Minnesota veterans with flags.
Presidents carriage. with four horses.
State officers in carriages.

As the procession passed down Third street it
had to move on through dense mass of spec
tators, such as on no occasion ever occupied
our sidewalks. There was just one packed
phalanx from the Seven corners down to the
foot of sibley. street, and SO closely packed
that it was impossible to move up or down
without getting into the middle of the
street. Every window, too had it's occupants,
and lamp posts and awning supports held some
clinging gamin. AS the immense cavalcade
passed along, reaching from the Metropolitan
hotel to the Merchants Third street presented a
magnificent sight from the lower end, decorated
as it was with its myriads of flags, banneretts,
arches, streamers and festoons. AS the Presi-
DENTAL carriage passed handkerchiefs were
waved and hats were removed in silent respect
for the first magistrate of a great people. Ar
irving at the Sibley street depot the party at
at once entered the special train which took
them up to the State fair grounds.

All along Third street the splendid team

were thronged with spectators, but not a hand
