Foreign Letter.

Nikko, Japan, August 24:--The
festival Of Ieyasu took place as ad-
vertised. a slight shower passed
and the day was faultless. Midway
up the grand avenue the hotel had
provided benches and refreshments
and there we sat and waited at noon.
With piercing shouts crowd OF men
and boys appeared, dragging a large
pine tree up the avenue, followed by
a multitude Of people eager to secure
branches as charms against evil
spirits. So great was their success
that on reaching the summit the
stalk was bare. The echo Of these
shouts had scarce died away when
the entrance way was thrown open,
and the religious procession was seen
TO leave the grounds and proceed
down the avenue. IL you wish to
sec something that will divert you
you should see this procession. 1t
is q religious masquerade. The pro-
cession approaches with music and
waving banners. At the head were
priests. mounted on the sacred
,
ponies, and clothed IN gold brocaded
robes, or in crimson silk chasubles
aad white cassocks, followed by a
rctinue In bright yellow gowns and
black lacquered caps, holding aloft
huge temple fans on long, curious
and characteristic poles. Warriors,
dressed in ancient style and carrying
the old time arms of Japan, played
their parts also In this fantastic show.
Then came men and boys, wearing
masks and quaint costumes of 300
years ago, belonging to the temple
and worn only on festal days. They
waved banners and curious flag
shaped ornaments used in temples
others carried live birds and monkeys
or walked in pairs partly hidden
under skins of ferocious beasts.
Scattered at intervals were the sacred
cars, huge structures built on wood
en- wheels, with temple-like roots,
black lacquered bodies, vallenses Of
rich needlework, gorgeous odd drap-
cries of red and yellow silk, and
drawn along by strings of devotees.
Bands of music in the procession
made most horrible din with gongs
while scores of primitive flutes and

twenty-sixth and twenty.seventh
floors. The middle of the dial will
be 346 feet above the street.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
dial will be little more than half
way between the street and the top
of the tower, it will be far above all
surrounding buildings. 1t will be
fifty feet higher than the Flatiron
building.
The immense size of the clock will
make it easy to tell the time from a
great distance. The letters on the
dial will be four feet high and the
hands will be twelve feet long.
No clock has been ordered for the
building yet, aud it is not known
Just how it will be run. Some of
the largest clocks are run by cleo

The procession was at least a mile
long, and along the avenue, on both
sides flooded an immense crowd which
had congregated from every part Of
the country to enjoy this festival.
The procession marched slowly over
the sacred red bridge and through
the town, holding high carnival un-
til evening. The fete lasted but one
day, and closed that night with a
grand illustration of the temple aud

stairway to the tomb and the tomb

stone lanterns added their quota to
