temperature was sufficiently mild to
make the day enjoyable outside Buck

the procession, The brilllancy OF the
latter was greatly detracted from by
the fact that all the troops were cloaked
The only touch Of color was from the
lace remnants OF the lancers and the
brass helmets OF the heavy cavalry. Tho
khaki painted guns Of the artillery and
a naval gun OF the same hue, added TO
the general note Of sombreness. The
roofs Of houses near the place and other
points OF vantage giving view OF the
picturesque panorama In Green PARK
