DrdtlHB IL III mauHer peHttinS uho w
casion. The gates of the city have been
thrown wide open for the entrance OF
visitors and they have focked in by the
hundreds. The city was early astir ana
the streets were filled long before the
commencement of the festivities by peo-
pie in holiday attire. The decorations
are profuse. Nearly every business house
| is covered with flags and bunting and
from every flagstaff floats the stars and
stripes. In front of the governors office
at the government palace, large flag
floats proudly in the breeze. The front
of the adjutant generals office is covered
with large flag. Every public school
and educational institution has a flag
waving over it. The warmth of the re-
ceptlon accorded the visitors can not fail
to impress them and they can not but
carry away the most pleasant memories
of their entertainment. The day will be
zone continual round of pleasure and
will end with the grand ball and banquet
at the Palace hotel this evening.

old Boreas to mar the pleasures of the
occasion, even if he did behave badly.

then the crowd was a good natured one
and did not mind the wait. By the time
the whistle of the train was heard the
depot platform was black with people.

Fort Marcy, with the band, was drawn
up on the east side of the depot. As the
train pulled into the depot a wild spon-
taneous cheer arose from the assembled
| crowd which continued until the visiting
militia descended onto the platform.
| A reception committee of business men
headed by Mr.. j. P. Victory and Mr.. A
F. Spiegelberg, took charge of the com
missioned officers and escorted them to 6
four-horse conveyance which was in wait
ing for them. There were number O
hacks and buses also on hand for thu
ladies.
