O'Clock, when the procession started
on it's way to 81. Mary's grove
where the speaking took place, the
entire route was lined with thou,
sands of men, women and children.
The stores, public buildings, &C.,
are beautifully and gorgeonsly de.
corated, and all the surroundings
give the appearance of a grand
carnival. The weather is delights
fui and beautiful.
