visit here won universal applause, again
took the city by storm, and wherever their

forms appeared, thropgs OF spectators,
largely OF the gentler sex, followed with
profuse expressions OF delight. Captain
Charlie Reynolds has reason 70 be proud

with each other, and the result may justly
be pronounced draw.
THE HONE CLUBS
were all out in good force considering the
circumstances.
The Young Mems Club acquitted itself
with its Wonted credit, and shone with no
diminished lustre because OF the presence
Of visiting clubs. Seventy.two members
were in line.
The Juniors did not turn out in as full
force as was expected OF an organization
usually 80 faithful. However, the fifty
members who turned out did nobly.
Capt. Dan Praeger was on hands, with I.
A. Mcdonald as Lieutenant.
The colored companies were both con.
spicuous by large trausparencies. That
borne by Company 4. (the Contnentals)
bore 3 representation OF q Southern ruiz
fan, skipping about, the motive power
being furnished by 4 bunch OF switches.

Company K forty.
The First ward was accompanied by its
own drum corps, and had out an even 100
men.
The Second and Third ward club rather
took the cake" by its display. Ithad the
most taking feature OF the affair,
i GENUINE CANAL BOAT,
called the Evening Star" and numbered
"S29." The hull was constructed Of
honest timbers, and the cabin OF frame
work covered with canvass. It was cap
tanned by Fred. seamon, with Will Cas-
sell as mate and Globe" Snyder as pilot.
It was mounted on wheels and drawn by
two horses, hitched tandem.
This club had out l25 men, headed by
their own "Monumental drum corps"
The front rank had two standards, with
''those same old coons," one for Ohio
and one for Indiana. They are the pro-
perty OF W. H. sheib, the Twelfth street

The Fourth ward club had its own Pc
culiar pet, also,
A LIVE MONKEY.

this club was borne an artistically execu-
ted transparency, the inscriptions being:
"Give Slippery Ben Rest" "The Chi

party tries to hide its infamous record OF
slavery, treason and rebellion beneath
Hancock's military cloak" democratic
politicians howl for change, when labor
ers and business men are prosperous and
contented." The Fourth warders num-
bered about 40.
The Filth Ward Club had rs men in
line, with an excellent drum corps.
One hundred members OF the Sixth
ward organization were out, and their
champion drum corps made splendid mu.
sic, as usual. They bore the famous trans
parency having q quotation from q song
by "Bob White"
The Island deserved special praise for
the elegant turnout she showed Saturday
night. She had $50 men in her club, be-
sides q live rooster on standard. This
last was happy idea OF Will Zane's. A
transparency carried by one OF the club
had an artistic representation OF the
"pHIo sMrLE."
The Eighth Ward Continentals to the
numbsr Of so were an attractive feature.
They had most miserable old jackaps,

THE CENTRAL GLEE cEuB,

partisan songs on the line OF march, and
were vociierously applauded and greeted
by the ladies with waving OF handker-
chiefs. It's twenty-five members, under
the Leadership OF Jack Cowl, make most
pleasing vocal music.
Another Glee Club, organized on the
spur Of the moment among the employees
OF the Central Glass Works. rode in a
wagon which carried significant trans
