whicn, however, is chiefly displayed
in a profusion of Confederate flags and
praise of Confederate soldiers. Several
of the commands, however, carried the
stars and stripes in procession.
All private houses along the line Of

old Lee mansion has bust Of Gen.
Lee displayed in conspicuous position
on the front porch, surmounted with
wreath of laurel and placed in bed of
flowers and evergreens.

demonstrations by the enormous crowd
Fair hands flung roses from windows,
banners were torn from the fronts and
tossed high into the air, and as the
band struck up the familiar air of
"Dixie." gray heads bowed low, and
tears coursed down furrowed cheeks.
AS the veteran cavalry passed, the

and cavalry-fell into line behind
them, followed by the Farmers Alli-

in the order of secession Of the South
ern states, South Carolina being in the
lead and Virginia bringing up the rear.
Each of the state contingents carried
distinctive banner. 3
