flags, buntings and evergreens. The
streets forming the route of the procession
were packed with spectators, and although
this is not legal holiday as yesterday was,
business of all kinds is at standstill.

cession and reception at the Academy with
minor features form distinct feature of

line. The employees and representatives of
the development of one firms business
from very humble beginning to the pres
ent time, formed the entire second di-
vision. The third was formed exclusively
of manufacturers displays. Other di-
visions represented all sorts of trades and
occupations. As whole the demonstra-

ago and the resources and the results of
trade of the present day.

grand reception given under the auspices
of the association. There was a prelimin-
airy concert this evening by Welsh singers,
who are present in great force from two
or three neighboring counties, but the

morrow morning and the concentrated
German singers III the evening.
