O. O. P. The day was perfect and the crowd exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. It began to arrive at daylight and continued to pour in until afternoon. It came by all the roads and by all the cow paths and every thoroughfare in the town, save those reserved for the parade, was blocked by buggies. The people of the place threw open their yards and all comers were welcomed. No charge was anywhere made for hitching purposes, except in the livery stables, and the lawns of the place served as picnic grounds for the guests. It hurried the town considerably to care for the crowd, but all things considered the affair was splendidly managed. The* parade was a fine one and the presence of 60 many bands in town (there were seven) gave a lively tone to everything.
