of Canal Street and from the suburbs,
formed on Mall Street, right resting
on Broadway.
This was to lead the way and would
have started at the agreed time of ten
o'clock but for the tardy arrival of
the Newark jewellers, who finally
came up from the ferry nearly five
hundred strong and were assigned to
the right of the line. AS it was the
march up Broadway began at about
half-past ten.
At Fourth Street the second division
fell in. 1t had marshalled its forces,
consisting of workingmen of the east

view the procession at this point

Music and Marching
The ample sidewalks of Uniol
e Square were crowded with people
when at about eleven o'clock, the heat
