getting on to the rock and the cheapness of the trip.
 There was much disappointment to the residents on South Quinnipiac street on Wednesday on account of the procession fail ing to go through that street. There was hardly a house but was beautifully illumi- mated. Red fire and fireworks to the amount of hundred dollars or more had been bought to give the boys hearty and bril- liant reception, but the money was spent in vain and the people could not show their patriotism to the Republican party. The beautiful scenes that many had come to witness did not take place. The reason the route was changed was the lateness of the hour, which prevented the procession going over the route laid out. The committee felt as much disappointed and as badly about the change as anyone can.
