and then the men by companies and the
apparatus.
in this order the line Of march was
taken mp and was proceeding down Gov
ernor street, when near Main street
mnn rushed up out from the crowd to
the Chiefs buggy and told him n fire
was burning in Exchange alley or IN that
vicinity, and his manner rather indicated
that the Chief would be neglocting his
business if he did not get out OF line and
see about the fire. This the ChIef pro-
ceeded to DO, ordering out Engines 2and
3 and Truck2. He drove down Exchange
a.iey. and when near Fourteenth street
found chimney in rear Of one OF the
Maiu-street buildings on fire. A great
volume of smoke was rolling out, but
that Was all and so the men were or
dered back 10 their places, and Engine 2,
under direction Of Asslstant-knglneer
Sheppard, repaired to quarters. The
march was then proceeded with without
incident to Shafer street and Grace,
where the parade was dismissed.

paratus was placed in the house Of En-
CINE No. 3, on Broad near Ninth, so as

alarm Of fire, which fortunately did not
occur.
TO TIE GROUNDS.
The head OF the column reached the
Exposition Grounds shortly before II

the gate near the northwest corner. As
Buffalo Bill came III be was loudly
cheered and in acknowledgment Of the
compliment lie rode across the grounds
with his head uncovered. The organi-

back Of the building.
The Indians are admirably good riders,
and one noticeable thing about them was
that nearly every one had q streamer Of
come gay color tied 10 the bits OF their
brides. II was amusing to SEQ the two
htte pack-mnles gallopiDg up the street
with several Lags flied with something
strapped on the back Of each Of them.
Several Of the organizations carried
banners, and the Howitzers had small
fGCs in their brides.

little difficulty in keeping the streets

people needed well the advice of the
Dispatch and did not get in the way.
TIE BICYCLISTS.
The Old Dominion Wheelmen had
about fifty men in line. Most of them
wore dark suits and caps, and altogether
the boys made o very creditable show

in the front Of this division. which was
under command OF Captain Frank Steel.

The matter Of prices, too, was misun-

fully disappointed because they could
reach Buffalo Bill ouly U.a the Exposi

the concert ball will be misunderstood,
too. Persistent advertising on the part

cure these evils.

THE BALL.
The Concert Hall is an immense room
and has in it 1900 chairs arranged in
circular rows. On the stage are two
pianos, an organ, and about seyenty-five
chairs. The decorations consist of bunt-
ing, flags, and moss drapery. There
is large covered piece like a
button in the centre OF the room,
from which streamers connect with
the galleries and stage at regu-
lar intervals. Suspended from above
the stage is Virginia worked in large
letters OF moss, and at the back of the
stage are a very pretty painted scene and
