The Grand Parade

nall at O'Clock, preparatory to taking the
positions assigned them, and an hour before
that time, the streets surrounding the square
upon which the building is located was
crowded with good natured, jostling crowd
Of citizens and deleg gates. The sky was over
cast with clouds, and at intervals few drops
OF rain fell, causing til spectators and dele
gates to indulgein few muttered complaints.
But before the parade had been formed the
skies cleared, and faces frightened as the
prospects of fair weather became assured.
The rain in the morning had made the streets
slightly muddy, but those forming the pro-
cession marched for three hours without ut
tering a complaint.
After short delay, which seems indispen-
sible in getting a large body Of men to-
gether, aud the confusion incident to such
professions, the divisions formed in the
places which had been assigned to them.
There wese eighteen divisions to the process
sion, each under command of a marshal,
twenty bands of music, and thirty-eight stands
of colors. Each delegation was designated
by badge, some of them being elegant in
design, and especially noticeable for the
richness of the material from which they
were manufactured. The number Of per-
sons participating in the parade was not less
than 5000, the procession being twenty-five
minutes in passing given point.
