ment made altogether a fine showing
Allegorical car. " Our Public Schools"
was drawn by John Iafferty's grey four-in-
hand. The long car was tastefully deco
rated in red, white, blue and gold. The
huge canopy rested upon gilt supports, and
was draped with lace curtains and floral
wreaths and garlands. The names of all
the important battles of the revolution were
written upon shields attached to The sides
of the car, while in front on a prominent
| scroll appeared the words Education is
| our safeguard" The car contained over
| fifty little folks singing popular airs. The
| four corners were surmounted with large
| battle axes and spears of gold.
! One of the largest and most interesting
| features in the procession was the display
made by the Sacramento butchers. under
the Marshalship of NJ. F. O'dell. They
turned out over one hundred strong on
horseback, and marching by twos, formed
quite formidable procession themselves.
AT their head was an allegorical car, if such
it can be called, upon which was repre-
sented a miniature slaughter-house. There
were four red-shirted, plug hated butchers,
with murderous- looking cleavers in their
hands, eyeing pen in which was confined
four innocent-looking little sheep. The
float was furnished with all the parapherna-
liza of q first class slaughter-house, the
butchers had " blood on their boots" and
the institution was closely watched by the
new Health Officer, who seemed to be de-
terlnined that it should not be set down
within the city limits. The butchers were
in their shirt sleeves and wore sashes.
Ross 6 Ankeners delivery wagon, Capital
market, was in the center of the procession
gaily decorated with flags, surmounted
with huge japanese umbrella, and drawn
by spirited team of horses.

of p E. Platt brought up the rear, and was
in the following order:
Riverside Dairy Frank II. Slack, propri-
etor-Five milk delivery wagons, newly
and handsomely painted and decorated in
most artistic style, the horses caparisoned
and the teams well matched and spirited.
One of the wagons was gotten up in the
latest style of the bric-a-brac craze, its can
opy mammoth tri-colored Japanese para
sol. The horses of this wagon became
frightened and entered upon a little run,
not down on the line of march, and the
bric-a-brac decorations came to early grief.
Wells, Fargo & Co. turned out one four
in hand and several smaller wagons taste
fully and appropriately decorated.

able attention by his royal equipage, being
seated alone in large, open hack, drawn |
by six gray steeds, driven by that famous |
Jehu, Ed. Short Those who di6inot know |
Polltz imagined that some foreign ambas- |
sador had just struck the town. His attire |
was faultless, and the raising of his plug |
