the Capital Square, through the Square by
the Governors mansion.
AT this point the long line of torches was
reviewed by Governor Mckinney and other
State officials. The line passed in rear Of
the mansion and went down Governor
street to Main; thence to Ninth, to Frank
lin. On this street near seventh the parade
was reviewed by Mayor Ellyson and city
officials.
BONFIRE.
Arriving at Seventh and Broad streets
the torches were thrown together In the
street, making tremendous bonfire.
While this was burning, and amid the hring
OF hundreds of rockets, Roman candles, &c,
the thousand men sang the Watch on the
hhine- and the ">tar-S Spangled Banner y
Mr.. Charles J.. Siegel, baton in hand and
bareheaded. stood in hack and directed
the singing, which was accompanied by the
Blues Band. AS the last piece was sung
all the color-bearers on horseback waved
their flags.
The procession was beautiful, the pine
and pitch torches lending a very fantastic
effect to the parade. As they came down
Broad street the procession was heartily
cheered, and the long line of torches made a
beautiful picture.

upon the tOrchlight procession usually
seen, inasmuch as the pine torch gives

THE CONCLUSION.
The singing concluded the public exer-
cises for the day, ana by 10 o'clock the
streets in measure had quieted down to
their quiet old usual way. The various
German saloons were crowded, and beer
flowed like water.
All the Germans seemed determined that
no stone should be left unturned for a COM
