The yolks-fest a Success.

way of grand street displuy, and after
wards at the Schutzen Park, where Sena
tor Bayard made a most excellent ant
patriotic speech in English, while DIR
Kulhmann delivered very commendaLl'
eulogy on the festive occasion in German
Some of the largest, best and mos
reliable firms in the city made display
Of their various wares and goods In the
street pageant. To tell our readers where
the divisions formed, at what time they
moved, and the names Of all the firms wht
so greatfully exhibited, would be but tC
rehearse to them the accounts alread,
given in the Wilmington dailics. We
shall coniine the account to the names OF
some of the firms who exhibited and tc
some passing incidents.
As matter of course the Governor o.
the State, was honored by being preceded
by company of militia, while a noble
platoon of Wilmington's able bodied po-
lcemen maj ched at the head of the pro-
cession and cleared the way. Chief Mar
shal Rhoades' horse was fiery, and in his
antics was very successful in keeping the
street free from the ourush of the street
urchin. Marshal Enfenger on his foam
ing charger looked pleased at the way
things were turning out, and also looked
exceedingly warm. He rode his steed in
admirable manner and was here, there
and every whore along the line, giving
instructions, dropping kind words and
making all who participated feel welcome.
In fact all the Marshals did their work
well. We cannot refrain from saying a
few harsh words about the city street
urchin on this occasion. They had evil
IDENTIFY organized in secret meeting the
night preceding the parade, as their united
efforts on that day seemed TO prove the
truth of our insertion. Each wagon that
distributed packages along the route was
monopolized by bond of these dirty
urchins. The respectable children of the
place seemed to stand but little show Of
securing even paper flag Or "Star''
blotler, without running the risk Of being
rudely> pushed down and otherwise ILL
treated. This nuisance by these hoodlums
could have been easily abated bv little
prudence and forethough on the part oI
the marshals, or specials should have been
deputized for the occasion. These little
urchins referred to certainly enjoyed the
occasion to their hearts content, but their
joy ought not to have been detrimental 10
the pleasure of other and more orderly
little folks. For this piece of advice, the
| good boy will praise us, while the rude,
untutored boy will consider us little
"fresh."
| Joseph Stockle made large and varied
display of his celebrated beer and the way
it is made. F. Wagner had good exhi.
bition of organs. Dawson & Bro, made
| decidedly the best display of staiuary and
marble cutting, while the Diamond Stale
Iron Co., gave most excellent display Ot
of ironware. Finley, Garrett & Wilson
also, made good exhibition of ironware,
as did the Kent Iron and Hardware Co
Jas. F. Wood and Schoen, with heaters
and corrugated rain spouting, had mosI
beautiful and tasty exhibits. j. Pau
Brown was not left out in the cold either
as his comic display in a large wagor
made much merriment for ALL and nc
doubt will add greatly to his business
The James s. Webb Printing and Station
ary Co.'S exhibit was interesting, and thu
Sunday Star with its press in operation
on the march, running out Star blotters
was very commendable. The molly Wagon
load of singing darkies were n drawing
cord, and their antics kept the larg
crowds on the side walks in constan
roars of laughter. j. Bar<ley s. Bro. >
newly-paiuted wagon, from which the,
distributed cakes and candies, was
feature of the occasion. Besides thes
there countless others, but our space for
bids the mention of but two or thre
others. The first of these was the displd
of our friend Joseph Seals baggag
wagon, loaded to its full capacity wit
= trunks, which but fttingly illustrate
that gentleman's business tact in shown
the people of Wilmington sample of tn
vast business which he daily carries o
in this line of trade, "Joe" is perhaps
more Familiarity known by the travelin
public, than any other man in Whining
ton. Not only is this so, but his genialit
and promptuess in all things intrused /
him, makes him a most desirable perso
to deal with. Another very fine display
was that of William & II. l.. Wood manu-
facturers of carriage wheels, This firm
but recently started, and their energ
and the skilled workmen they employ ha
already gained for them great success.
The whole affair." from what we ca
learn, was pleasant rs well as u iinan
cial success.
We had almost forgotten to mention
the Four Johns Minstrel Company. Yes
they were in line, and we are sorry t
record it, but they made demoralizin
exhibition of themselves. The heat o
the day was too much for their fertl
brains, and sunstroke in the form o
Jersey lightning had done its work. TIL
tambournes lost its cunning and the ban
10 ceased to be harmonious. But the
were eXcusable, as the day was theirs
, and they no doubt enjoyed the situation
Hon. William Dean and many other
from our town accepted kind invitation
and were present, and enjoyed the dis
plays made and the many ludicious sight
presented to their gaze.
