Shortly after 100 horsemen from the .'lieck'
put In an appearance. Two other county clubs
were also mounted, there being in all ats.t
200 horsemen in line.

line Of march, the route being over the prin-
cipal streets of Hyattsvilie and Bledensburg
Hon. P. A. Scaggs and Enos Ray acted rs mar

as general manager of the whole affair. A
cannon was drawn in front of the procession

about half dozen men kept it thun-
line reached all the way from Hyatts-
Vile depot TO the other end of Bladensburg.

1t was some moments before the cheering

that part OF the program.

tence by uproarious cheering. DR.. Allen Of
Washington represented South Washington in
an interesting talk on the downfall of Mudd,
during which he literally scored the Baltimore
ana Potomac railroad for gridironing South
Washington with its railroad tracks. He closed
by nominating Gov. Hill of New York for the
presidency in 1892
