invited to participate. Colerain and
Rising Sun clubs only, of all the
neighboring clubs, joined in the pro.
cession. A few fire works, and bon
fire and march around comprised the
entertainment. A special train
brought the Rising Sun and Colora
boys home about IL o'clock. There
were 65 tickets sold at this station.
After the battle interest flags rapidly

The Sixth District Harrison and
Morton Club held their triumphal
march on Wednesday evening, and
on dress parade the old Sixth can
break the record. "Atter the battle'''

stration was expected, but the 'jol-
lifcation" nearly equaled her grand
demonstration of the second of No.
yember. There were five or six
hundred in line in the procession
which was enriched by wagon full
of girls, sunbeams OF beauty, carry
ing flags and Chinese lanterns. The
wagon was richly caparisoned and
drawn by ten white horses. The
Oxford club came down on a special

ton brought over four hundred, com.
posed of delegations and clubs from
Elkton, North East, Port Deposit
where 175 got aboard-Rowlandville,
Liberty Grove and Colora. The
home club with the band met the
visitors at the station and escorted
them up to centre square. The Elk
ton delegation was accompanied by
the colored band of that town which
rendered some pieces from Handel
and Wagner-at least we suppose
the music was from some of the great
masters as it was above our uncuti-
waited ear. Zion turned out com
pany of horsemen which added to the
imposing features Of the parade. A
large bonfire and fire works were
prepared and put off on an eminence
south of town, after the parade was
over.
Three thousand sandwiches were
prepared by the Sixth District Club
for their visiting guests, and washed
down by liberal drafts of coffee made
by DR.. Budd at his steam boiling
coffee works.
The town was brilliantly illumi-
mated and decorated with flags and
banners, many of the dwellings and
places of business being dressed up
with exquisite taste.
A number of short speeches were
made from Mr.. Hambleton's porch
by Mr.. Jno. f. Wilson, Mr.. Henry
NJ. Mccullough, Mr.. H. R. Torbert
and Mr.. R. c. Thackery At the close
of the masculine Grating a pleasant
surprise to the crowd was given, by
the chairman announcing that a
young lady was present who would
address the meeting, and Miss Belle
Shortlldge Of Chester county was
introduced. Miss Shortlidge sailed
into the Prohibition party with a
cyclone of assertions unsupported by
facts, however, which vanish like
the baseless fabric of a dream when
questioned. In truth the Prohibition
party appeared matter of greater
concern than the democrat party. 1t
is the only political party the saloon
abuses. Miss Shortlidge "vowed and
declared" that the republican party
was the only and all sufficient tenn.
perance party, but the saloon never
abuses that Old party and how Miss
s. and the saloon happen to be allies
in the same pastime is something
of puzzle, but politics make
strange bed fellows you know.
The people from the country
poured into town by the thousand,
and some who viewed both crowds
that of the second inst. and of
Wednesday evening-estimated there
were as many people in town to
witness the wind up blowout as on
the I'd of November.
