THE PROCESSION.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.-Never before

cisco streets as to-day. The greater mum
Der OF them were, of course, Californians,
but they all came to see the Grand Army
of the Republic parade. A close estimate

$4,000 others looked On, and the time
occupied in passing a given point was two
hours and seventeen minutes, but as there
were frequent stoppages and some of long
duration, the exact marching time would
be about one hour and q half. The de-
mand for seats on Market street was 80
great that IS were asked for standingroom
on stands that had been erected. and in
some cases this sum was paid. From the
start to the finish the march was a tri-
umphal one. The Eastern delegates seemed
especially marked out as objects of atten-
ton, and all along the line where an East
ern banner was discerned hearty and pro-
lonsed cheers was the response. The New
favored by being not only heartily cheered
but reverently saluted. The veteran
Zouaves of Elizabeth created a genuine
sensation and were also Justify cheered.
The ZouAves have been presented with q
handsome silk banner by the Veteran
Guards.
THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES.
1t was remarked that the delegations
from the Southern States met with even
greater applause than did those from the
Northern States, due to a feeling OF sym
patty that the difficulties they had to en-
counter during the war were even greater
tban those of the Northern soldiers. As
the procession was going up Market street
the carriage in which General Sherman was
seated was suddenly attacked by six hand
somely dressed young ladies, armed with
baskets OF flowers, who with ringing cheers
and laughter opened fire on the General,
pelting him with The General raised
his hat and amid the cheers of the specta-
tors bowed repeatedly in Acknowledgement
uf his defeat. One unexpected result of the
procession and one which a very serious
to many, was the rush to the restaurants
Immediately after the parade was over.
Three hundred thousand people, including
visitors, had been standing from 8 o'clock
until twenty minutes to 8, without eating

was the crush that within five minutes
the proprietors had to lock the doors or it
would have been impossible for the walters
to serve those who had secured places, and
several cases OF women ~fainting from hun
ger and fatigue are reported. Those who
had to wait until the first rush was over
made a descent on the bakeries and street
fruit stands and cleaned-up everything in
sight. To make matters worse, most OF
the large restaurants, although having laid
in an extra supply, ran out OF both bread
and meat and al the markets we've closed
it was found impossible to replsnish the
larders. All sorts of devices were resorted
to and with such success that everyone
MANAGED to get something. As the day
was delightfully."- cool, no accident from the
heat has been reported.
