when it comes to the starting of process

billed to start at o'clock, and it started
at l o'clock. The route of procession
was from Del Monte depot along Perry
street TO Washington, 10 Franklin, to
Pearl, to AIvarado, and along that thor
oughfare to the Custom-house.
Only the first and fourth divisions of the
parade formed at Del Monte. The first
! division was led by Grand Marshal Jacob
r. Lesse and aids, followed by companies
ID and of the United States Artillery.

Philadelphia, followed by the white bat
talon and the naval brigade of the Mo-
nadnock. This division was in command
OF Lieutenant-C Commander Ingersoil.
The fourth division was headed by a
band and followed by carriages containing
the different officers of the day. Admiral
Beafdslee and his staff were in the first

carriages. This part of the parade moved
