Mayor Gibbons, in exceedingly bad
taste. introduced Gen. Gof to the re-
union as Governor GOif.n Is this what
the Democrats contributed their money

Capt. John Mortimer who took charge
OF the advertising, travelled over 5000
miles in publishing the Reunion in all
parts OF the country; then returning,
devoted every minute OF his time toward
putting things i'm shape. The Captain
is deserving of the highest respect. The
management could not have gotten a
better man.
Capt. Jordan Mckee, member OF the
| Executive Committee and ON the Com
mittee on Music. has literally worn
| himself out in his endeayorS To make the
affair pleasant, delightful and harmo-
nious one. His laborS have been effect
I fn nm
tain should have a place i'm the high re-
gard OF the visitors and OF the citizens.
The management generally Of the

taste. Gen. Van Bukey has made special

| those of others Governor Fleming was

'eThis is "a rennion of soldiers
why didn-,' reiterated the old fell
low.
"Wcn, I'll tell you, if you are anxious
about il, said another old vet Its be-
cause he didn't get votes enough
That settled IL.
Capt. Shaw, Superintendent of the
Park City Street Railway Company, was
arrested yesterday for cruelty to ami
mails The arrest was made on a war
rant sworn out by Mr.. d. d. Johnson,
who states that the street cars have
been overcrowded and that the horses
have been cruelty treated by forcing
them TO haul the heavy loads. These
lines are the ones run TO the Reunion
grounds. IL is a fact that they have
been overcrowded but if a cOrporal'S
guard had been stationed on each car
with a gatling gun they couldn't have
kept the people of.
The parade OF the BlannerhaSSctt
Club OF bicyclerS last night on Market
street was pretty sight The wheel
men had their wheels decorated with
the tri-colorS i'm artistic style. Chinese
| lanterns OF varied sizes, designs and
colorS were hung to or suspended over
the machines, making pretty display
as they flashed in and out Of the long
| lanes OF people lining the sidewalks.
Some of the wheels displayed artistic
decorations, showing that the ladies had
taken a hand in making the effect
successful one. While the wheelmen
were fitting in and through the crowd
! blue lights at stated intervals lent de-
! ightful enchantment TO the scene 1t
was really tasteful and pretty compll-
ment To the old soldiers.
Never in the history OF the city has
there been such an influx OF fakirs as at
this time. There are said To be in the
city and at the grounds not less than
ninety OF the gentry of qualified rascal
ity. The soap, the candy, the cane
and the fakir of high and low VERY low
degree has rcapcd harvest under the
nose. i'm the sight and with the knowl-
edge of the authorities and their officers.
| The fakes state broadly that they paid Tor
the privilege and proposed To make the
most of it. They differed from the pick
pocket. the sneak thief and the burglar
only I'm the fact that they were licensed
either By direct payment of tax or
assessment or by the more quiet Dut
not less protective insurance OF over
sight" Ten thousand people saw the
game. Five hundred have learned Il
] lesson.
