gone. Under foot and over head it
was very unpleasant here, as to weath-
er, the forepart Of the day, il having
rained very hard. La the afternoon it
cleared off but the watery element
came down again like a food about il
o'clock at night, just in time to catch
the crowd coming out of the numer-
Gus theaters.! kThe occasion was gen
orally observed as a holiday by every
one, and in most features re-
sembled Sunday, for everybody
