The route of the parade was packed
with people. There were greaB crowds

Grove and along Grove, from Grand to
wherever the route touched, in fact. men,
women and children were packed like
sardines in a box. Houses were decor

and elected many encomiums. Japanese
lanterns and red fire showed off the
flags and bunting admirably and made
the soene brilliant Half the houses in
every block were almost hidden from
view with the elaborate decorations.
1t was a long watch, but the vigil was
kept until q quarter to twelve, when the
cry arose, "Here they comep' This fact
was clearly demonstrated in short order
as the lower portion of the city seemed
ablaze. Rockets and bombs were ex-
ploded on ali sides and the cheering was
deafening. Headed by platoon of po-
lice in command of Sergeant Kelly, of the
First Precinct; the Macs, with Colonel
Feeney in the lead. started from the
Morris street dock to Hudson street.
That this a home of Democrats cannot
be doubted as the Macs narrowly escaped
candles and bombs that were ex-
ploded. Proceeding from Hudson street
TO Exchange place, their reception in
creased. and it was with great difficulty
that the police kept The masses back.
The ocunterinarch on Exchange place to
Montgomery street was witnessed by the
largest crowd ever seen there. The line
continued up Montgomery street. At
