liar feature Of tho day was tho fact that
the trains coming Into the city In
tho afternoon brought more people
than those arriving carly In Tho
dry. Besides tho residents Of adjoining
sections Of three States, every able bodicd
person, without regard to age, sex, race or
previous political proclivities, living along
the route, seemed 10 be IN enthusiastic,
cheering spectator Of the glorious array.

terms, rs they had been with flags and
other decorations of IN appropriate char.
actcr during the day, and at intervals OF a
few feet colofed fires were burned. Roman
candles strcaked the sky with brllliancc,
SKY rockets Kissed ~heavcnward, and the
city seemed u flowing sea of flame above
WHICH tho moon and twinkling stars paled
thor Intellectual fires,
On Seventh the same scenes were re.
pcatca, and on Market, il such a thing
were possible, surpassed. Tn Twelfth
street aelip the pyrotcchnics blazed, and
OH Chapline to5Fnnrteenth-in fact along
the entire route vas one blaze Of fire and
glory.
SPECIAL NOTE.
Where the decorations were SO general
and SO uniformly crcditable and the pyro.
technics so frequent and ~proiuse, It is
rather inyidious 10 distinguish individuals,
but several citizens last night surpassed
everything in the line ever seen before SO
gloriously that they must DO especially
mentioned. The roof OF the Linpo!n club
house WIS utilized by several gentlemen
OF the organization and was one canstant
blaze. Tho Baer residence, on North
Main street, Hon. n. D. Scotts, lion. Ben
Fishers, Mi. John Frew's, Dr. JIG. Hupp's
and Mr.. Allen Howell's residences, on
Fourteenth street, Messrs. r. J. Smytllc's,
Thomas Lewis's, /. Freeze, Sr.'s, John
Cumhiin's, sGmnel I,aughlin's, DC. and

and Bookings drug store also deserve
especial mention.
