that when the evening closed the city
presented quite holiday appearance

gance of their ornamentations and count.
less miniature flags wave from their
windows while gayly-colored bunting
flaps to and fro in the breeze
from porticos and columns. The
newspaper offices have also assumed

the principal stores display the national
cnlors in prominent manner. Amam-
moth street parade has been arranged
for to-day, and if it is carried out in its

termarch around Plaza to Main street, to
