of Robert street, in an inspiring pro-

Wabasha street bridges, she was an

property of G. D. Garrow; the Oca-
moZa, owned by Capt DobSon: the

the club wore yachting caps with the
clubs monogram attached.
The River Queen, Assemblyman A.
T. Rosen's new launch, was seen for
the first time In the parade yesterday.
