The Grand Process ion.


The official programme for the day had
announced that the procession would be
formed promptly at 8 A. M. Committees of
arrangements may propose, but it not infre-
quently happens that those who take part IN
pageants of this character. dispose of time
to suit their convenience. 1t so happened
yesterday. AS eerly as o'clock all the
principal streets of the city we're filled with
people on foot, in carriages, on horseback
and in arms, waiting for the procession to
form. It was somehow understood that
General Sherman, Secretary Ramsey and
the other notables we're to arrive at an early
hour at the University, and come from
thence to the NicolIet hotel, where arrange
ments were to be made for assigning them
positions in the grand procession. An i'm
mense throng of people assembled in front
of the hotel and for over an hour waited pa
tiently, in the broiling sun, to
catch glimpse of the distinguished
visitors. About hals past ten their
curiosity was gratifed, for at that hour
number of carriages, containing Gen. Sher-
man, Secretary Ramsey, Hon. Z. B. Wash
burne and other distinguished gentlemen
drove to the main entrane~ -ne hotel. Tbs
features of nearly all were familiar to the
dense throng, and as they alighted from
their carriages they were greeted with q
succession of cheers. A few moments were
spent in the parlors of the Nicollet to allow
for introductions, refreshments, ETC., when
the party once more took their places In car
riages and proceeded to Bridg ge Square where
the grand procession was formed in the fol-
lawing order, under the command of Gen. J..
T. Rosser, marshal of the day assisted by
some aides:

1t required some time to bring order out OF
the chaotic mass, which had not only filled
Bridge Square, but all the streets adjacent
with surging tide of humanity on foot, in
carriages and in every other species of con-
veYance. The throng had come ''from the
north and south, from the east and from the
west,' all intent upon seeing all they could
| and taking part in this pageantry. The
| grand marshal and his aids had most
difficult task to perform, but they finally
| succeeded, and the procession took up lis
| line of march across the suspension bridge
| in the order above given. When the car
riage containing Gen. Sherman and Secre-
| tary Ramsey reached the eastern end of the

familiar countenances, cheer after cheer
greeted the two distinguished men, who
manage and control the military arm of this
| great republic. This hearty greet
ing, was continued all along the line
| of march, and was responded to by both
gentlemen rising and bowling in response
They rode in splendid English dray drawn
| by four beautiful horses gaily comparisoned
and driven by Mr.. r. F. Jones, the owner Of
the magnificent turn out.
Words are inadequate to describe the ap
pearance of the procession and the streets
along the line of march. The sidewalks anG
the streets also we're complete moving mass
of humanity of all ages and both sexes. The
suspension bridge never before was put tt
such test, and hereafter it may be consid
cred safe. Every available space was ocou
! pied by people on foot, while for fully a hal
hour the driveway was filed with two lines O
carriages from end to end. The scene OF

either side of it was dense throng
of carriages, four or five abreast, Will,
the sidewalks and private ground
of the residents were crowded with men
women and children. At every street cross
Ling numbers of vehicles were added to th
throng, and yet all moved on, slowly it
