It required some time to bring order out of
the chaotic mass, which had not only filled
Bridge Square, but all the streets adjacent
with q 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 its
line of march across the suspension bridge,
in the order above given. When the car
riage containing Gen. Sherman and Score
tary Ramsey reached the eastern end of the
bridge, and the vast crowd recognized 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, andswas responded to by both
gentlemen rising and bowling in response.
They rode in splendid English dray drawn
by four beautiful horses gaiiy comparisoned
and driven by Mr.. r. f. Jones, the owner of
the magnificent turn out.
Words are inadequate to describe the APP
pearance of the procession and the streets
along the line of march. The sidewalks and
the streets also were complete moving mass
of humanity of all ages and both sexes. The
suspension bridge never before was put to
such test, and hereafter it may be consid-
cred safe. Every available space was occu
pied by people on foot, while for fully a half
hour the driveway was filed with two lines of
carriages from end to end. The scene on
University avenue when the procession was
passing, battles description. The pro-
cession formed across the street, but on
either side of it WAS dense throngs
of carriages, four or five abreast, while
the sidewalks and private grounds
of the residents were crowded with men,
women and children. At every street cross
ing plumbers of vehicles were added to the
throng, and yet all moved on. slowly it is
true, but without accident. Gen. Sherman
was of course the lion of the day, and next
to him came in for many compliments.
number of the organizations that formed
part of the procession. The Union Great
Western Band; the Seventh Infantry Band
from Fort Smelling, and the Minneapolis
Zouave Band, Drum corps, elected well de-
served praise for their excellent music and
splendid appearance. Companies G, X, and
Fl, Of the Seventh Infantry, under command
of Major Benham, marched as only veterans
can. The Minneapolis Zouaves made fine
appearance in their strange uniform, and the
squad of mounted Lancers of the same or
ganization were marked feature of the pro-
cession. The Union Franchise of st. Paul,
who turned out $50 strong, and were led by
the Great Western Band, did themselves
proud, being the largest
organization in the line. Suffice it
to say that it was grand demonstration in
which not only the cities of st. Paul and
Minneapolis but the country for miles
around united.
Over the entrance to the University
grounds a grand arch had been erected beau
tifully ornamented with the national colors
and evergreens, and bearing the inscription.
