oftireworks. In volume and yarietyitis

three hundred acres sloping gently
away from the South front OF the Treas.

began early to find their way toward the

an hour or more they waited, comment

to its peak the rays OF the electric lights
in the city half a mile away. II seemed
enormously higher than by daylight and
to have not the slightest relations to ter
restrial things.
When the preparations were complete
and the display had once begun the people
inc barge had the good taste to leave no In
termissions. Jack lanterns danced from
place to place about the enclosure, and
whenever one paused an explosion fol-
lowed. Rockets, balloons, mines, foun-
tains, bombs, batteries and shells were
sent heavenward in yolleys for, half an
hour, filling the air with showers
Of fire. Explosions sometimes half a mile
above the earth took place, and constella.

whose peak is lost 10 sight 90 feet above
the floor in perfect forest Of streamers
and flags, on whose acre OF waxed floor
several thousand couples in brilliant toll
cts are moving about in the mazes Of the
dance, while thousands more circle around
on the outskirts in a ceaseless promenade,
and other thousands look down upon
them from surrounding balconies, Is the
grand frame work OF the ensemble which,
bursting suddenly upon ones view, is
magnifcently bewildering. n

troops was sent to their assistance. The
united efforts Of the soldiers and police
only suficed to make q narrow passage
way through the dense throng, and the
various Organizations which followed
passed in review under this disad vantage.
Alarge number Of colored troops were
included in third division, and their sol.
dierly bearing and good marching elected
much praise from the spectators. The
New, Jersey soldiers In their plain uni
forms with red blankets rolled above their
knapsacks also attracted attention, as did
the Washington infantry Of Pittsburgh,
clad in navy blue with black shakos. The
Fifth Maryland, about 500 strong, in black

ties in this city, was warmly welcomed.

the New York organizations. After them
came ak Indian braves in war paint and
feathers bearing Tammany's unique ban
ner. The Tammany men, who numbered
about l, 900, carried silver.headed sticks at
their shoulders and marched nine abreast.
They were followed by Tammany Knick-

carrying long gold:headed slaves with
which they beat marching time on the as.

sented by about 200 gentlemen, all wear
