The half portion was about four or
five years old, and the biggest OF the
gang about fifteen, rode in state on q
cOstermOnger's cart drawn by his
doughty company.
He was fianked fore and aft by
American, British, Italian and Belgian
flags. By the look Of the young mon
the British and American flags were
theirs by adoption. They looked like
followers of Garibaldi and Albert.
The leader in his semi-state carriage
wore an Italian cooked hat with q pur-
ule plume and a great red triangle
was sewed to the back OF his shirt

footed a trumpet in best Derby Day
style. The footing continued right up
