store-house Of knowledge and gift
of language, and the two combined is
what makes good impromptu speak
er. We haven't the space to review
the Grafton and do justice to the
speaker, therefore we will simply say
it was one of the best and most in
teresting orations ever delivered in
Idaho City. This is the verdict Of all
old-timers OF this place.
The Grafton was followed by music
by the band-aH Hail Columbis. The
procession then formed to march
back, the line of march being down
Montgomery, up Walluia and up
Main to pavilion, and then marched
around again, the last time up Wall
street instead of Wallula. By that
time the young ladies had dinner
spread on three long tables in the pa
vilion, which was on the lot just south
of the school house. The pavilion
was put up by the young men of this
place. 1t was lined all around with
fir trees and beautifully decorated
with flags. The tables were loaded
with everything that keen appetite
could wish, both ssolid grub" and
delicacies. Feasting and sociability
was the order of the day from that
: time until the s'Tehilagrim Torohog-
arums" turned out. The first bur-
lesque procession that turned out on
the Fourth in this place were called
the 7. rs. That was many years
ago The name "Tehilagrim Toro-
hogerums" was invented by Julius
! Mautz, the orator of that ancient or
> der for this occasion. The T. It's
made their appearance between two
L and three o'clock, and emerged from
Dryde McClintock's stable, some or
L horseback, some on foot, and others
on Jackassback. The roars of laugh
. ter and hurrahing was immense wher
. the procession started on the march
: the large crowd following them al
- around town. The characters taker
! beggar description, and each charac
. ter was acted out to perfection. n
= burlesque procession ever equalled

- They made big improvement on tn
: original t.. I. procession. The ora
10 ton was delivered on Main street
'o near the World office. The oratio
