The procession moved slowly over tho
following route: Along Madison avenue to
Eutaw street, to Fayette street, to Carey
street. to Baltimore street, to Broadway, to
Broadway Institute, where those taking
part in the tableaux left the floats which
then were moved by way of Thames to Ann
street.
The column as it moved through the
streets was viewed by dense throngs. Every
balcony was crowded, interested faces
peered from every window stands erected
at every available space were crowded, the
sidewalks were blocked, and people stood

The head of the line reached Broadway
Institute shortly after 10 o'clock, and by
1890 the entire column was massed on
Broadway, between Baltimore street and
the market. Father Time went no further,
concluding probably that time was up. The
fgurantes deserted the floats aud sought

The Rush for the Trains.
