Saturday was great day for the Maine

frequently remarked during its progress by

early they began to gather in the corridors Of
Brown Block and on the sidewalk outside,
but the proper adjustment of gold-fringed
white satin badges, ornamented with figure
of commercial man standing on trunk,
looking blue, and the purchase of pond
lilies, canes, and other necessaries took so
much time that President Roberts and Drum
Major Davis had serious thoughts of send
ing down to the island to have the dinner
saved over for Sunday. At last they sue.
ceeded in forming the travellers into two
long wavering lines. and after good deal OF
counting fours and left dressing they marched
out into the street in column of fours, and
headed by Chambers Portland Band, start
ed on their annual excursion. UP Congress
street they marched, to Longfellow square,
where they circled round the statue and
halted.
After some little dely, the invited guests
the ladies, and the Lewiston delegation,
headed by the genial Col. Charles Il. Osgood
arrived, and the line of murch was resumed
in this order.
