ibeen in their old homes, were greet
ed by OH acquaintance, and such re-
4 unions will form green spots In the
memories OF many.
Shortly after noon the animation
!became more pronounced. The tramp
of the military, prancing of horses,
tap of drums, and the thousand and
one sounds incident TO the formation
Of procession, were in the air, and
the eagerness to behold the grand pa
neant animated young and old alike.
The scramble for vantage points was
spirited, and while there were no c!
fgies of Pegasus to mount. many OF
the younger generation managed l.
perch themselves far above the
crowd upon the most convenient pro-
jections.
Balconies were soon densely packed
with humanity, as well as windows,
oorches, doorsteps. walks, fences, ETC..
while people were crowding the slde-
walks, surging to and fro, or standing
on tip toe in attempts to glance over
each others heads.
BY the time the procession oegan
to move the great mass of the con-
munity together with the thousands of
visitors were congested at and close
! to the point Of formation.
