INCIDENTS OF THE DAY, ETC
Brownsville may we'll feel proud of
her celebration, which passed off to the
satisfaction of all interested, and hap
PLY without accident or any occurrence
to mar the happiness of the occasion.
The early light of morning broke
upon heavy banks of clouds, which
seemingly threatened rain, but only
served TO make the day pleasant and
not uncomfortably cool.
As per programme, the procession
formed at 9 A. NJ, headed by the
Brownsville Cornet Band, who with
brightly FURNISHED instruments, and
their new uniforms, presented very
ereditable appearance, next in order
came "Our Future Senator's the
little boys all under 10 years of age
and some not only years old, pretty
dressed in red, white, and blue, happy
in their position, which to them, was
the acme ofioy. The Liberty Car, its
adnrnment, festooning of flowers, rib
bons, flags and bevy of beautifully
dressed young ladies, with happy
smiling faces, each bearing an Ameri-
can flag, representing the various
states in the union, was one of the
main features of attraction, and was
most truly q pyramid of loveliness.
Next came the Lady riders mount
ed upon handsomely caparisoned
horses, each and every lady beautiful
in attire, graceful in poise, elicitating
murmers of admiration and applause
from the immense throng of people
that crowded our streets. Arriving at
the picnic grounds the programme as
announced was carried out; the speak
ing was interesting, the songs and
musical entertainment pleasing, and
the various races productive of much
merriment.
Too much praise can not be accorded
the management, the marshal and
aids, for their well arranged and most
efficiently carried out plans for the
enjoyment of the public on this the
Fourth of July 1890, to them is due
the fact that all passed off happily
without hitch of proceedings or any
of those unfortunate accidents that
oftimes occurs during gathering of
this kind.
Our streets presented lively appear
ance, crowds of people passed to and
through, the principal business houses
We're handsomely festooned and deco
rated with bunting and flags, strains
of martial music 1ioated upon the air,
and without exception all seemed to
heartily enter into the spirit of the
occasion. There were present from
Albany former citizens of this place
namely: r. f. Croft, wife and children,
O. T.. Coshow. Jr., and family; c. III.
Hoberg, Louis Galbraith, +. ID. Meyer
and George W. Wright and family.
