From start to finish the streets were
thronged with people, densely packed
far beyond the sidewalks. The fact is,
there were moro off the sidewalk than
on. A good deal OF indignation was
expressed by the marshals and those in
line, over the inconsiderate and i'll bred
way a Wheeling crowd encroaches upon
the right of way Of a procession. 1t is
always the same. Tho sidewalks are
deserted and people crowd out into tho
street like yaps, spelling the marching,
inconyeniencing the marchers and en-
dangering their own lives and limbs.
One OF the division marshals said last
night that hereafter professions would
occupy the sidewalks and let the crowds
monopolize the streets.
There wa good deal of enthusiasm
all along the route. The political clubs
came in for the lions share, and the
drummers seemed to be next in it.
Marshal Samuel Benton Brubaker, who
represented the commercial travellers
on the staff, did good service, and show
ed his soldiers experience. In fact the
management OF the procession could
not have been in better hands from
Chief Marshal Miller to the last aide OF
the seventh division.
As the parade moved up Market
street the sight from Eleventh was a
brilliant panorama OF moving grace and
color not soon to be forgotten. From
Twelfth street, also, the sight rs the
long column descended the Main street
hill vas indescribably picturesque and
brilliant. Cheers and waving OF hand
kerchiefs were spontaneous.
There were remarkably few accidents.
The big globe on the Trades and Labor
Assembly float caught fire from a troll
ley wire on Market street at Eleventh
and blazed brightly for a time. A panic
was narrowly averted, but the blaze was
at last extineuished with little harm.
Friend & Sons wagon also struck an
electric wire on Main street near Elev-
enth and some Of the decorations were
burned.
A wagon belonging to the Glass City
fruit gardens, OF Bellaire, broke down in
front OF the p~ostoffice.
All sorts Of thincs-candy and pills,
yardsticks and soap, spool cotton and
fancy cards, were given away from the
wagons. In the grocers' display a boy
distributed lavishly scoopsful OF sugar
and salt alternately, and there was a
constant ripple OF merriment near the
wagon as some applicant for sugar got
salt.
