Ceremonies of Memorial Day--Philadel-
Phia Soldiers Join Delawareans in the
Services.
Saturday was the most remarkable ami
versary of Decoration Day, taken IN its lit
eral sense, that the records Of Wilmington
can show. Market street was simply anave-
nue. Of bunting. Overhead the national tlag
fioated everywhere. Its patriotic pronli-
hence obseured and eclipsed every other
object. And everyone seems pleased tnat
it is so. But the national colors are moi
llpon the buildings alone. Wagons III
every kind bear the brilliant eolors and
the horses heads decorated with the little
bunting nod merrily as if proud to bear
their share in blazuning abroad the glory
of the stars and stripes lIorsemen passed
by with the names and tails Of their
horses interlaced with flowers and drnop=
ing vines. At one moment an ar1Stncratic
fox TERROR yelped along with the national
colors garlanded around his neck for a
collar. Young ladies', many d them
daughters Of honored veterans, Wore some
badge borrowed for the day from the
trickets and war decorations of their
patriotic fathers. Young mon equally
patriotic but with less evidence of taste i'll
dress decoration had their hat bands stuck
up with little flags placed at every angle.
Patriotism was in the air. Martial music
and the continual passing and tro a. de-
at the highest pitch, This was increased
at 10 O'Clock as 4 company Of Philadelphia
