form.

return.

divisions gave the surging mass Of hui
manity around the Presidents stand an
opportunity to close m and again OBJ
struct the line Of march. The police
not being able TO keep the street clear,
detachment of regular troops was sent

view under this disadvantage.

were included in the Third division and

ing fully met the expectations which
had been raised as to the appearance of
this regiment. The Grenadiers Ro-
chambeau. of New York, were also
well received. The Busch Xouayes, Of
st. Louis. wore the most elegant uni
form Of its kind in the procession.
