boats started from Government wharf, at
the mouth of the river, led by the band in a
fiatboat lighted by tall candles. The process
sion passed up beyond the lighted draw
bridge at the village, then returned to its
starting point, winding along near the shore,
where hundreds of spectators in carriages
and on foot were watching. Many OF the
boats were hung with colored lights, looking
like brilliant soap bubbles. There were
many devices, among them ship with ST.
Elmo's fire on every mast and spar, Elaine
lying in white robes 'steered by the dumb,"
one boat all in REQ, with red and green lights,
another jim white draperies, with many
others. Every year the floral review takes
