thousands in attendance. The day, al
though very warm, was perfect. No formal
exercises or ceremony of presenting spon-

interesting for the ordinary spectators. Elk
hib!ticn drills by the Indianapolis artillery
and the zouave companies followed, and the
afternoon proceeding will be brought to q
close with a big dress parade, in which the
Mount Pleasant Field Band, of which the
people here expect much, will make its
first public appearance in Savannah.
