mand of Major John w. Ryan. As the

up, while the battery fired a salute of
100 guns. The young ladies along the line
of march, in this Quaker city of Brotherly
Love, Showered bouquets and wreathS of
natural flowers, obtained at great expense
and by the time the procession reached its
destination nothing could be seen of the
Captain but his beautiful full-moon face
peeping through the wreaths of flowers
that covered him. The girls exclaimed,
How could the ladies of Sacramento con-
sent to part with the dear fellow for such
an eternity as ninety days? After the
Captain had recovered from the fatigue of
his reception, he made u call upon the
Mayor and other dignitaries of the city. A
committee of the City Council was ap-
pointed by the Mayor to escort him through
the city. After taking him through the
park, and indicating the site of the Centen-
NAL Exposition, he was conveyed to the
parade grounds. The Captain was greatly
pleased, and remarked that if he only had
his company there he would show a drill
worth seeing After Il stay of five DAYS
