But for the rain 1t would have been one
of the most magnificent and grandest gala
days, ever known in Texas Rainy and
cloudy and ugly as the weather was, there
was gathering OF people on the streets
from all parts Of the city, and the strangers
IN our gates, all welcome friends, and there
were thousands and thousand of them,
came out from their lodging places to see
the grand sight.
From early morning there was sound of
music through the city as it sweled and
iioated away FIR ON the brazen threats OF the
city to echo and re.echo and reverberate
from house TO house, from street to street
aud from turret stone to turret stone, finally
TO breathe out Its life on the bosom of
breeze and zephyr and to die tn the hearts
of the flowers.
From all throughout our land
the peope had come, people of nil
nationalites, from every cline, all one
band of brothers and friends hoping for
Apollo's smiles, but receiving only the III.
will OF Pluvius.
For ali that II was n grand day, and
though nature was in frownng mood the
people would enjoy themselves.
To-day II has been asked that the process.
sion be had over, that II may be seen in its
full grandeur, The S@ngerfest committee
desires IL, II seems to be the desire of all the
people. and the marshal of the day has is
sued an order to that effect, so It may be
safely announced that the procession will
be had again to-day.
