tie Republic who have made thei
last march to the grand encamp
ment on the other side OF the darl
voice. Early in the forenoon
however, the misty curtain was
rent, and before meridian the sur
was shining forth in unobstructt d
glory. The gentle rainfall had
thoroughly lain the dust and if the
day had been made to order,
the weather and its accompani-
ments could scarcely have been
more prcpitious.
At the appointed time the mem
bers of Custer Post, G. \. r.,
! marched from their headquarters and
formed opposite the County Build
ing and shortly after the Carson
Guard, preceded by the brass band,
made its appearance. coming to a
halt in the near vicinity of the
veterans. The procession then
formed, Sheriff Ullrick and officer
Bryant, splendidiy mounted, in The
lead, followed by Marshal Of the
day. p A. Doyle, and his aids, Geo.
Tyrrell and Warren Noteware.
The band took its place, and ut
the order OF the Grand Marshal the
march began. The Carson Guard,
Captain Hark commanding, pre-
scented fine appearance and marched
like veteran soldiers. Next came
Custer Post No. 3, G. A. R., under
charge of Post commander w. I.
Hanford, each veteran carrying a
boquet of flowers Next came
carriage containing all that remains
of the Mexican veterans, the team
being piloted by Major Garrard, one
OF the number; then carriages con-
tanning officers of the day, choir,
etc. Nearly thirty vehicles fell into
line, and to the strain OF martial
music the cortege took its way to the
cemetery, where the usual G. A. r.
programme was carried out in the |
customary solemn manner of such !
exercises.
The cemetery was beautifully |
decorated, scarcely grave to be
seen that was not covered with
lovely flowers Of all kinds.
