threatened TO exhaust the newspaper stock
of adjectives and powers of description.
One thing which was especially noticea-
Ue and which added much to the harmo-
nious effect of individual team decorations,
was the ladies dressing in the colors in
which their teams were decked. The 'coTn-
stalkj battalion" met with general favor.
| The company numbered 70 men, led by
Maj. Childs, each man carrying a cornstalk
and wearing a yellow badge. The batta-
| lion was led by the Valley Drum corps of
four drums and two flies.
Gov. Fuller was greeted with applause
as, with his aides, and the Estey Guard
for escort, he led the long line from the
| common.
The number of bicycles in line was larger
than ever before, there being 81 when the
| line left Walnut street, and others joined
further on. A larger proportion of the
wheels than last year were decorated, and
they were more elaborate.
