SOME STRIKING DECORATIONS.
The decorations everywhere were pro-
fuse. many of them handsome, especially
along the line of march. One that attrac-
ted hundreds OF passers by and was the
cause Of much merriment, was the display
in DR.. n. Wayt & Bro. s windows. The
design was that Of MI. Hampton Wayt
and consisted in two pictures as it were.
One window was filled with large portrait
Of Cleveland surrounded by national colors
and bunting, while its opposite was bedecked
in deep mourning, a large hat and the in
scrlption, Republican Consolation attached
to variety of German bitters.
Gladke's was another attractlye display.
The whole front of his double store was
gaiIy bedecked, Cleveland and Stevenson
portraits were arranged opposite each 9TH
Ell and in the centre hung one of Hill,
whom he nominated for 1896. Over all
shone large arc electric lamp.
Hotel KalOrama was brilliantly illumi-
mated and the large lawn in front looked
beautiful with it's miriads of Chinese Ian
terms.
The residences Of Capt. w. P. Tams and
MI. D. A. Kayser, also appeared most
striking. The brilliancy from the windows,
doors and around the porticos against the
black background OF the night madea most
pleasing picture. At this point of obser-
WALTON many residents of the hill had
gathered and looked down upon the town.
1t seemed to fairly blaze amid the myriads
of torches and colored fire works. A pref
tier sight can scarcely be imagined.
Along the line the Augusta Female Sem
mary and the Wesleyan Female Institute
came in for their share of the general adj
miration and enthusiasm. At these insti-
buttons the young ladies by scores had lent
their good taste and nimble fingers to the
work identifying the buildings and
grounds.
On North Augusta street there was much
disappointment that the procession should
have Sighted them. Among others the
residence and grounds Of Capt. T. D. Ran
son were brilliantly arranged.
The Episcopal rectory also blazed under
a profusion of many candles. There were
many pretty decorations off the line of
march. but the people had caught the spir-
it of the occasion and were fully up to their
more fortunate neighbors.
OF the brilliant Examinations and display
of decorations, the Virginia Hotel was
very prominent. Mr.. Scheffer, the propri-
etor, and his aids were conspicuous in rem
dering the occasion up to the full enjoy
ment of the large number of guests and
the throngs that crowded the streets and
passed that way in the march,
NOTES OF THE PARADE.
A very prominent republican in the gov
eminent employ, paid his wager 10y riding
in the procession and wearing Cleveland
| hat.
The West End club which marched with
such full ranks and was so much admired,
has decided not to disbind, but will hold
their organization together for future cleo
lions.
An enormous white hat about the size of
a barrel, was born aloft in the procession
with this inscription: "Where have you
Been.''
Early in the afternoon the Burktown
band drove into town amid much enthusi-
asm. Their band-wagon was drawn yfour
Of Mr.. Samuel Byers' fine horses, and fol-
lowing close behind was 10-foot coffin
transparency, the driver sitting on one end
of it attired in most gorgeously colored
bunting. a costume hardly in keeping with
the sombre vocation of hearse driver.
Mr.. John w. Churchman, leading the
Stuart Draft mounted club, a large organ
ization, made u fine appearance.
