mas6s pretty generally and para'led
the streets, much to the delight
aud the amusement Of tle eulook-
ers some of the "get ups were
quite elaborate aud srulceque,
especially those who paraded on
horseback. The Band of Disynrd
which paraded in the afternoon
afforded much amusement by their
Z Eapseallion costumes, and fake in
struments, long since worn out in
the service Of the band, that was
their discordant and outrageous
medley bursting the tympaaams
of the bystanders. One OF two
maskers became TOO smart aud were
lodged i'll Jail for a few honrs med

make show was attempted, hnt
every fellow was for himself and
the Devil take the hiudmost in
wild flight through town.
