place, was indeed grand spectacle ana euccess'
and Will long be remembered By the cltlzens.
On the evening previous the officers OF tne Lake
View Republican Club who are also the Execu,
tive of the Garfield and Arthur Club, met ano
determined to bold u Jubilee on Friday: ms
was short notice with large territory to 60
over, but they we're equal to the emergency.
The Garfield and Arthur Guards turned out
eighty y-f1yc strong, in uniform, and pear
ing torches. They were splendidly drilled
and disciplined by their Captain. Thomas Cook
son. and, hended by brass band and q drum
corps. marched about five miles through some
of the principal portions OF the town. followed
by large delegation Of cittzens, Eoodly por-
tfon being ladies, most of wh0m after going
short distance, went to the appointed rendez~
yous where severn! large bontres were built,
and large assortment of fireworks touched oh:
Here they all assembled after the march: and
participated in singing and general 1oiiffca-
Hou. in which they were Joined by Il delega uon
from tho Fifteenth Ward with Tin horns.
One fenture Ut the occasion Was the presents

the catnpaign. lie and tho e yards were highly
delighted. After tho fireworks had given out
tho crowd dispersed, the Guards marched to
their quarters, and we're presented with their
uniforms and torches. and thanked for their
services. They then dispersed. There Is some

THE HUMOROUS SIDE OE THE RESULT.
During the heat of the recent campaign Mr..
George Edwards, q hardware merchant at South
Chicago, and Mr.. Thomas Doyle, a real-estate
dealer residing in the sa1ne town, made II novel
bet on the result Of tho election. Mr.. Edwards
is stalwart Republican, while Mr.. Doyle is, or
wns, a sta!wart Democrat. Tho agreement was
thnt in the event Of Gen. Gartclds election Mr.
Doyle should trcat Mr.. Edwards tn q wheelbar-'
Hancock be elected Dir. Edwards was to supply
the propclins power. It was stipulated tnat
m hs Should 41 @ aawn
to say that Mr. Doyle lost his bet, and be s,nol
it ike man. The circus, for that it certainly
vas took place Yesterday afternoon; The en-
tire town turned out, despite the binding snow
storm, and the Hair provoked great :nerrIment.
The route was from the hotel 10 the Govern-

lowed BY Mr: Doyle with hts ont-whcelcd car

Mr. Doyle became winded at frequent inter-
walls, when tue procession was halted. and liquid
restoratlvcs were indutged In at the expense Of
the the man a who WIS dolng tho work. The hote!
was finally reached, where the exercises closed
with three cheers for both parties. Mr.. Ed
wards has the satisfaction If having won his bet,
while Mr.. DOyle's satisfaction CONSISTS in the
knowledge tnas poor mans plaster will re-
store his aching spine To its normal state, after
which he proposes to get on tho winning side,
and forever cut the Democratic party, 1t such d
party can be said to exist.
STILL ANOTHER.
Another wheelharrow bet was paid last night.
Mr.. McCarty, who is employed by Clarity, tho
1ohacconist and Richard Brown. Of the United
States Express Company, made bet OH the
Presidential election that whoever lost should
wheel tho other in Il barruw from the headuuur-
ters Of the Eighth Ward Republican Club, 1t the
corner Of Hafsted and Harrison, to the West
Madison street police station. and back again.
Mr. McCnrty was unl!4cky enough. to pin his
faith to Hancock. and. consequently, lost, and
last night paid his bet like p lit
tie man: The procession formed at the
corner Of Haisted and Harrison, headed by
fife and drum. followed by Mt. McCarty with .
wheelbarrow containing Mr.. Brown, and large
and miscclianeous crowd Of excited citizens ana
enthusiastic boys: The procession moved on
Hnlsted street to Madison, eust on Madison to
Union. where there was a momcntary halt ia
front OF the police don, and then back again
to the place OF beginning, where it dispersed
amid loud and enthusiastic cheers.
