On all the streets through which the pro-
cession passed particular attention had been
given to throwing out the flags to the breeze,
giving patriotic aspect to the scene, and in
all parts of the route, even those most dis
tant from the City Hall, the streets we're
lined with people, while public places spe-
cially useful for commanding a view of the
procession, such as church steps and the
steps of the City Hall, and some private
residences, were crowded with people,
Everybody votes that the display was an adj
mirable one-one specially worthy of praise.
The military part of the procession looked
finely, and likewise did the fire department
and it was treat to thousands to witness
the display, the more SO as general public
holiday is rare occurrence. The poliee-75
or 80 men-made an appearance rejecting
credit on the city and their chief OF the
different companies of the Second regiment
it would be hard to say which excelled the
other where all performed the evolutions and
marched so well, and with such excellent
esprit du corps; and the Russell school bat
talon looked and marched finely. At the
head rode Colonel Buckingham, worthy
commander, while in the ranks marched
many men who commanded regiments or
in the field of action. In some
Of the carriages rode men who had lost q leg
Or an arm in battle, and in the ranks marched
many one bearing the scars of the leaden |
hail. reviewing stand, wrapped with /
the national colors, stood in front |
IF the City. Hall. The pageant
was there reviewed by His Honor Mayor
Robertson and the city government. Upon
he stand was Governor Bigelow, the Mayor. !
