ty OF horses used TO the service. The uni
forms and equipments OF the corps were
beautiful and complete, and attracted
much attention as they rode ut the head
OF the long column, the beautiful fac
of the State OF Georgia waving over them.
They not only ride well, but, what is more,
when they dismounted on the Fair
4, Grounds and marched TO the position as
sigued them they moved with regularity
and soldieIly bearing which would have
done credit to any infantry company. On
the Fair-Grounds they were drawn up in
front Of General Lee, and presented sabres,
to which the General responded in q
very complimentary speech, welcoming
them to Richmond and thanking them for
having come all the way from Georgia to join
/ in the review, after which the company gave
the General the cOmpany-signal Hurrah."
/ While here these gentlemen were quarter
ed at the Exchange Hotel, except when
they were sharing the hospitalities OF the
social clubs of the city. The Westmoreland,
Richmond, and Commercial Clubs all
placed the name OF every member OF this
company upon their books. The company

ought to be proud OF them. A part Of

Fireworks.
The festivities OF the week were brought
10 a close last night by very pretty dis
play OF fireworks, given under the direc-
tion OF Mr.. Andrew PiZzini, who was ap-
pointed to that charge by the Citizens
Committee. lie contracted with Messrs.
Hadfield & Bidwell, OF Middetown, Conn.,,
for the pyrotechnc supply, and these gen.
tlemen came here TO superintnd the eXhi-
bition. Owing to the illness OF q lady
living near the old Citv-IIall lot the loca-
ton had TO be changed almost at the last
moment. and with some disadvantage TO
the exhibition.
The set pieces were placed on Broad
street lust little east Of Ninth. The
bombs and rockets were fred from the
/ Fredericksburg Railroad Office lot, aud the

Swan-Tayern premises. The crowd was
very, very large. and gOod-natured. They
were entertained from about to 81 O'Clock

Professor Wilhelm Tayleure, who used 4
stercOpticou, and alternated pretty pictures
and advertising cards, the latter paying the
expenses.
The rockets and bombs fired of were
about the same as those we have hitherto
seen, but the set-pieccs were unique and
elegant. One misfortune OF the change Of

the crowd. Those most admired were the
bells, the fountains, the Star-spangled BAN

many supposed to have a political signiii-

Of the pieces used on all great public eXhi-
billions.
The show was a good one, but would
have appeared to much better advantage
