Captain Helty, went down the harbor in a
steam-tug, landed ON Partridge Island. and
inspected the Notifications. Coming up the

ing streets were handsomely decorated with
bunting, evergreens, etc, and the shop win wi
dows were all beautifully decorated. The
fremen and volunteers joined in it, and there
were five bands. The fremen had their en-
gnes and hose reels ornamented. The
members of the local government, the city

escorted, and it was expected His Excellency
would review the procession, but he did not

ton this evening in the largest room in the
