LINE or MARCH
The line Of march was from Sanger Hall
IN BROAD. Broad 10 Nineteeth. Nincseeth
to Mann. Main to Ninth, Ninth TO Franklin,
FRANKLIN to Laurel. Laurel to Broad, and
Broad TO Seventh. All along the route
the procession passed under perfect
canopy of fire. the same effect being par
ticularly striking IA the long line with
omen flaming torches passed down Broad
from Twelfth, up Main from the Old
market to the DISPATCH ofhce, and up the
slope on Franklin from Seventh TO flith.
int il was left tor Broad street after the
PROCESSION had turned into IT from Laurel
TO present the grandest display.
II seemed verify aSi if the heavens along
this beautiful vista were atiame with varl-
colored meteors. while the red lights as
they shone through the smoke OF the
burning tar-barrels gave the welrdest pos
sible effect to the atmosphere between
house elevations.
REVIEWED By TIVE MAYOR.
As the procession passed the Mayors
residence il was reviewed by MS Honor
amid the greatest tut utHusioSin' erNu VI -
sion making the welkin ring with hearty
cheers.
When the procession reached Seventh
and BROAD streets both those on foot and
those on horse back were massed around
huge pile of blazing tar barrels, and amid
a volley Of fireworks, and to the combined
strains of the bands he Watch on the
Rhine" and the Star-Spansled banner
were sung.
II appeared as if the whole city turned
out to witness the parade. Ii the Dusi-
ness section through which 1t passed the
pauements wore lined with men, women,
and children. and III the residential sec
ton tae Yards and port.coes were crowded.
CALLED on THE MAYOR.
After the parade was dismissed Presi-
dent A. Won n. Resenegk, of the German
American Association. and President =.
Fred. kohler, of the Young. Mems Asso-
ciation. and other officers Of the two or
panizations and a number OF the aides
called upon the Mayor at his residence
and were entertained by him.
NOTES OF The NIGHT.
When the marchers got through with
their long launt they We're pretty tired,
hut numbers of them participated at
Sanger Hall IN the usual festive gathering
that winds up such occasions.
The ulan adopted of distributing fire.
works as far they could be discharged from
the sidewalks instead of the procession
greatly enhanced the effect -.
While the process on was passing the
corner of Eighth and Broad streets one OF
Inc aides iurnped from his horse TO thrash
a troublesome person who nad peeD an
moving him, whereupon two men from the
de1se crowd assailed him and when ne
aoain mounted his steed one OF bis eyes
was considerable swelied. In the excite
meut of the moment no arrests were ihaue
and il is doubtful If the aide could recoH-
nIze the men who so unsuspectlncy
pounced upon him; -
This was the only irregular feature OF
tho narade. and it only attracted the at
tention of few near bystanders.
