time the presidential party left st. Pauls
on their way to the sub-treasury most
of the troops which took part III the par
ade were massed about Wall, Pine, Rec

The route of the procession was lined
with such vast crowds that passage
along the streets was impossible. From

multitude was packed in without regard
to human comfort and i'll betide the
luckless mortal who was sick or weak.
Individual rights were lot to be thought
of and the weak went to the wall-liter-

The banquet was the most remarkable
one ever held in America. or perhaps in
the world, in point Of arrangement and
execution of detail. The chief steward,
seated at a central point, directed every
movement of the army of subordinates
by NEAR of electricity. At a touch of
his bell, every roast was carved, every
cork drawn, every course served, stimuli

of courses or wines, insuring the perfect
accuracy of every movement on the
part of the assistants. The cost of the
