Nearly 500 men were in the last dyi-
sion, but when, at 7:;iS o'clock, the pro-
cession moved of, hundreds Of persons
fell in the rear, and thus helped TO swell
the line to an imposing extent. Thi,
filling In process was continued until the
Opera House was reached, when accord
ing to the lowest computation there must
have been at least 1000 men in line.
Beyond the flags Of the militia COM
panies, and the bands of music, there
were but few distinctive features of the
procession. The morocco men and the
| ii. " III. Co.'s employees wore badges,
and the former had large flag carried
by bows, and also led three 'sbiliy goats
in the ranks, as emblems Of the import
ant branch of industry they represented.
ALONG TIE LINE OF MARCH.
The line of march was IN Font to
Market, and up Market to the Opera
| House, and from first to last it was light
ed up with one continual blaze ct hre,
while the shouts Of the assembled null
titudes made the air resound. Roman
candles and fash lights were well dis
tributed along the parade, and were roy
ally responded 10 by people Oh the side
walks over the entire route. Market
street was re,plendent i'll continuous
blaze of light, and the scene a' the pro-
ces,ion passed up was one that has never
been excelled, even by the most gorgeous
procession during the most heated pollt-
ical contests the city ever passed through.
The enthusiasm of the people was un-
bounded, and at every step OF the way
the appearance of Senator Bayard was
the signal for prolonged and deafenng
cheers.
Amid this blaze of light and flare oi
music Senator Bayard rode slowly up
Market street, seeing on every hand eVl-
denees of the esteem and admiration of
his fellow citizens, and bowing his ac-
acknowledgements as each fresh round OF
annlause burst " ith welcome resonance
upon his ear. But when the head of the
procession reached Eighth street, the
Growing event of the demonstration OF
fireworks took place. The display hith-
erto had been beautiful and incessant,
but this closing portion of the street Gel
ebration was the very acme OF per-
feclion, and took completely by surprise
all but the very few who bad seen the
preparation for this consumma'lon OF
the most imposing personal deihohstra-
ton Whining on ever saw.
Right across Market street, at Nintli,a
stand had been erected, for the display
of the closing article of fireworks, pre-
pared expressly for the occasion by the
citizens committee. AS the head OF the
procession passed Eighth street this piece
was discharged, and III an instant the
multitude were electrified by seeing
spring forth, as If by magic, blazing
tiap in which the stars and stripes were
depicted in the most brilliant hues, hIle
underneath, in letters OF glowing hre
appeared the simple, but eloquent words
"wELcoME HOME"
The effect of this display was almost
magical. As the people gazed upon IL
} mnrmur of admiration quickly arose,
which soon swelled IN volume until II
developed into one grand shout OF senu-
inc, hearty appreciation. Every eye gaz-
ed upon It, with the most intense eager
ness, until the last remnant OF the la
letter had resolved into darkness.
This beautiful pyrotechinc display,
coupled with few rockets, and some
fine bombs closed the fireworks feature
of the procession The line of march
was continued up to Ninth street, where
il disbapded, while Senator Bayard and
the reception committee were driven
around into King street, and catered the
Opera House by the rear entrance
