 One of the best decorated residences passed by the parade was that of H. c. Porter at 342 Crown street.

Johnson, the clothier, while many of the students rooms were hung with flags and were lighted with red fire.
 Quiet Orange street assumed an un- wonted brilliancy in honor of the big parade and was one of the most elab- orately illuminated streets along the line of march. Colored fire and all sorts of blazing decoration lit up the street from Elm street to Humphrey. Many of the residences showed candles in every window and lines hung with Japanese lanterns were suspended from the houses to the trees in front.

 As the parade turned into Humphrey street a blaze of fire greeted the march CTS. Nearly every house seemed to be illuminated and each vieing with the other to make the most light From Orange street to State street everything was lit up light as day. The residences of Major Brown, Charles Wilson, ex- Councilman Lawrence and Watson V. Coe were especially noticeable from the blaze of light they presented. Coming up State street the uniformity of H. lumination was preserved and the crowds standing along the curb con- tributed to the brilliancy of the scene by firing colored fire sticks and Roman candles. The lined turned into Olive street and there halt was made for rest. Many residences on Olive street were handsomely decorated As the Gold Legion passed the residence of Edward s. Osborn, the natter, near Green street, which was decorated in flags and bunting and lit up by colored fire, the organization loudly cheered MT. Osborn, who made number of the uniforms for the legion. At the corner of Academy street and St. John street the residence of Max Adler pre- sentd a brilliant scene, with colored fire blazing in every part of the yard and flags decorating the piazzas. The residence of George Bishop was bril- liantly lighted and in fact every resi- dence on this short street was lit up in style to make up for the absence of residences on the Wooster green side. Just across Chapel street from where Academy street converges the residence of Louis Ullman was a blaze of red fire. Over the piazza were draped na- tional colors
 Just above on the other side of Chapel street the residence of Isaac Ullman was wrapped in dazzling lights. Bunt- ing and flags decorated every corner of the piazza, and in fact the whole house. Men stationed in the yard kept dozens of fire stick lighted and Roman candles sizzling At the corner of Olive and Chapel streets in front of Sperrys drug store a huge bonfire of red light lit up the adjacent building with its lurid glare. On up through Chapel street Roman candles and colored fire blazed from every window and in front of Gessner's drug store the illumination was particularly brilliant The parade disbanded at the corner of Chapel and Church streets.
