members of the Peoples Party, was
an unriyaled success. The day was
all that could be desired; and ar
rangements. perfect in their charac-
ter. had been made such as would
meet every exigency Of the occa-
sion. Flags were displayed on and
about the Theatre, and an immense
one was strung across the street in
front of the Theatre. At 6 o'clock
citizens began rapidly to assemble in
front of the City Hall, and it was
not long until the procession had
been formed and the march COM
menced. Thomas brass band,
seated on the "Julia Dean car,
which was illuminated brilliantly
by Chinese lanterns, headed the
procession. Following were the
speakers of the evening, and others
prominently identified with the af-
fair, in carriages. Then came citi-
zens, who were given lanterns as long
the lanterns held out. The route
laid out was traversed. the streets
on each side being lined with people
who had turned out to witness the
spectacle, which was as fine as it
was novel. The light from the
many lanterns was quite bright,
and the sight decidedly impressing
and enlivened with the music. AS
the procession turned Goddess cor
ner on its way to the Theatre, "a num-
Der of different colored Roman can
dies were fired off, and the cries and
cheers or the crowd were sometimes
nearly deafening. The Theatre
reached, those in the procession en-
tered the building first and the pub
lie at large next. In three minutes
the seats were all taken and the
aisles and other places crowded to
excess. It's estimated that there
were fully 5000 people in the build
ing, including those on the stage,
and there was twice as many out
side who could not gain admission.
The circles were draped in stars and
stripes, and every preparation look
ing to the comfort of all had been
made. The band played while the
! immense audience was collecting
and quieting itself, and when the
lights were turned up the illumin-
alton was brilliant, and the interior
of the large building presented a
scene full of life and animation, and
made an impression which will
long be remembered by all who
were fortunate enough to secure a
place where the sight could be fully
appreciated.
