THE GRAND CAvALCADE.
a Fitting Dream of Autumn Life and
Color.


Color.
The piece of resistance was the grand
cavalcade and procession of decorated dog
carts and coaches on Thursday morning.
which surpassed that of any previous wear.
Forming on North Main street, this brilliant
panorama of life and color moved shortly
after 10 o'clock down Main street and
toward the fair grounds, headed by the
First Regiment band and drum corps. and
marshalled by Col. Fuller and his aids.
The first division was composed of 40
mounted riders, men and women, led by
Mrs. Hooker and j. f. Hall. Then came
81 decorated carts, presenting almost every
conceivable vagary of taste and coler. with
y. |. Hawley as marshall. In the tenn
porary illness of w. II. Minor, Rev. G. o.
Day acted as marshal of the third division,
consisting of coaches and tally-hO. Fol-
