with the crowd everywhere. There
were $50 policemen along the drive
from the Northwestern depot to the

the parade to the Hamilton club. In

carriage and watched the crowds
closely for any disturbers.

ments, and saw that the streets were
clear. In the advance of the line of
carriages, were 90 mounted police, the
pink of the department.
