Delbrugge made a special request that
all drivers Of wagons keep of the streets
over which the column j. 10 march. and
his officers have strict orders To move
all such distractions of the way. The
procession has been gotten up alta large
outlay OF time and money, by our best
citizens, and il the day be- a fair one
will be witnessed by twenty-five or
thirty thousand people. II is therefore
due To the public that the column be
allowed to march without restriction,
and it is earnestly hoped that the days
pleasure be not marred by people driv-
ing buggics and wagons into the street
ahead of the column and then stopping.

noon, and speeches will be made, in
German by Rev. William Ulfert, and in

fine programme of amusements has beer
provided, and the occasion will be d
most enjoyable one.
Every one living along the line OF
march, or doing business thereon, should
decorate their buildings this morning
and unite in making the city attractive.
There promises to be great crowd OF
strangers in town, coming from all
points within one hundred miles, and
that the day will be an unqualified sue
cess goes without saying.
