THE LANTERN PARADE.
Full Particulars of the Pageant and
Route of Procession.

Preparations for the lantern parade are
about all made, and it promises TO Dc one Oh
the most novel wheeling spectacles ever seen
here. Wheelmen should not hesitate about
Joining in the parade through fear of inabili-
ty to view the line, since there will be three
countermarches before stopping, which will
give the participants an excellent opportuni-
ty to see everything. The following will be
the route of the procession: High to Deer
ing, to Mellen, cOuntermarch to State. to
Congress. to Bramhall, to Vaughan, to West,
to Promenade, countermarch to Bowdoin, to
Thomas. to Pine. to Emery, to Spring.
countermarch to Emery to Pine, to Clark,
to Spruce. to Bracket. to Gray. to State, to
Congress, to Park. to Pleasant and dismount.
1t will be seen that paved streets are avoided
almost entirely, which is rendered necessary
because the iolting might put out the
lanterns. Unattached wheelmen are cordial
ly invited to call at the rooms Of the Port
land Wheel Club this evening and enter;
members of the committee will be there to
give further particulars to all who may
wish information. The entrance fee is ten
cents. and the only condition is that two

line will move up High street about 7.45 p. m.
A special meeting of the Portland Wheel
Club is called for this evening to see what
action the club will take in reference to the
Labor day races.
The best place to view the parade will be
on the Western Promenade The line will
pass to the further side of the highway and
proceed up as far as Bowdoin, then return as
far as West and back again along the inside
drive to Bowdoin. 1t is expected there will
be more or less decoration of houses along
the route. The ordinary bicycles will come
first in the procession, to be followed by the
safeties, which will be largely in the major
ity. A prize is offered for the best decorated

so these delegates, favorable to Mr. Sar-
gent for sheriff, were declared elected: Benz
Thompson, E. 81. Sargent. j. d. Decelle, AL
pheus Griffin. A. E. Perry and E. F. Harlow.
Mr.. Horace Davis was elected at the first
caucus.
In Ward T. Fl. E. Forestal of the city
committee called tie caucus to order and
read the call. Mr.. George E. Kennedy, clerk
OF the city committer, nominated Mr.. For
estal. as the choice of the city committee, for
chairman, and declared Mr.. Forestal elected.
A check list, prepared by the city committee,
was at hand. Immediately after Mr.. Forestal
was declared elected there arose bowls and
yells, mingled with applause, that would
have done credit to South African jungle
filed with animals of every kind and degree.
Pandemonium began and kept up without
intermission. Cries could be heard for
division of the house on the question of the
election of chairman, but the chairman
claimed it would be impossible to divide the
! house. since the Democrats present exceeded
| in number the Republicans. Mr.. Thomas
| Pennell and Mr.. Fl. K. Coesworthy. he said.
had been selected as tellers by the city CON-
| mittee.
After the voting began man came up to
vote, whose name, the chairman said, was
| not on the list. The man insisted, and his
| friends also, that he had right to vote, ami
the officers of the caucus entered into the
argument. Such was the case with Matthew
81. Kirwin, Thomas Nee, Matthew Fl. Hayes,
Edward l.. Dyer and others. The list was
| examined and their names were not found
on it. One man was pretty demonstrative
and the police took him off to the station. 1t
| appeared as If the caucus might have been
benefited If the half dozen policemen pres
ent had compelled the people at the caucus
to keep quiet, and made lane through which
voters could have an opportunity to cast
their votes.
| Michael j. Mcdonnell went into the box
and claimed that the men whose votes had
been refused had right to vote and forbade
any other person from voting. Then John
E. Osborne presented himself. His name,
the chairman declared. was on the check
list. Mr.. Mcdonnell claimed that Osborne
shouldn't vote. Officer Heath ordered Nc
Donnell out of the box. Mcdonnell said he
would not 60. and that nobody else should
be allowed to vote. He then laid over the
ballot box, with his feet on the desk, and so
remained, some of the crowd shouting to
him to hit the chairman over the head with
the box. and others suggesting to the chair
man to knock the stuffing out of McDon-
| nell"
1t was now 3.45 p. M, and, the pandemo-
mum continuing, Mr.. Charles Plummer
moved that the caucus be adjourned, and the
chairman adjourned it. Officer Heath de-
manded the ballots, and the chairman, not
considering them of any value. delivered
them to him.
After the adjournment, when Forestal
slipped out of the desk, Mr.. William M. Carr,
| Mr.. Mcdonnell and Mr.. James Logue en-
| tered it, Mr.. Carr called the caucus to order
secretary and tellers were elected. The
polls were open about minutes and closed
at O'Clock. The result of this caucus was
declared to be 65 for the Sargent ticket and
