llsplav, but the rain prevented them from |
naVlnS one of the grandest ever witnessed |
IN this country. One car deliberately, |
eeharmingly adorned, covered with the very
hnest goods, had to be withdrawn entirely, !
and they lost at least $50 in damage by the |
ran, ram on this car. The, goods were in all
worth not cent less than 5000. Their
hlst car was handsome one, carrying all |
she cash boys in an extremely pretty uni
form, aud there were enough of them to |
make first class school. Another elabor.
ntely adorned car followed, bearing the |
legend "thirtv-seven different depart
ments.' The Messrs Sanger brothers have |
gone to great expense indeed, in decorating !
Their house, preparing floats for the pro.
eession, and in advertising the festivities
