THE VELEB RATION.

Want of lime prevents writing up the celebration of yesterday, and we give upon this page tbe full report as it appears in thia morning's Express. Tbe truth might as well be told. A little truth, gently uttered does good—sometimes The celebration of yesterday was not which it should have been. It •verged closely on a failure. We will not stop to discuss the whys or wherefores, or point who are to blame. Tbe causes are doubtless as apparent to every member who served upon the oom

Bait tees as to us, and we believe tbe lesson will not be lost when the time comes to prepare for another celebration.

The decorations of the arch and ef business houses were meagre, and compared unfavorably with those of laat year and of the late Siengerfost. The Hewgag prooesslon, which attracted immense crowds upon tbe streets in the morning, was good, what there was of it, but the rear end was too close to the bead. Tbe afternoon procession was no improvement. Tbe exercises at the speaker's stand at the Falr'Ground were a flat failure—and this seems inexcusable. Interesting exercises were prepared in front of the ampitheatre, wbich ineluded a aham battle with the military, a walking match, fancy shoot* ing by A1 Schaal, and trap shooting. For tbe latter there were no lees than twenty-five entries- and by putting it first on the list it became tiresome, and many people left before the more interesting and lively part of the programme came en. This was another mistake of those in charge. Tbe sham battle, however, was-sandwiched in, and there was enough of it to show that next year it can be made a big'feature. 'Old soldiers said the boom of-cannon and the rattle of mcsketry was a lively reminder of old times.

The:fireworks at night were a redeem ing feature. -George Hayward proved himself a skillful pyrotechnist he had a weil selected lot of fancy pieces, rock ets, etc., and with the pivotal arrange meat on top-of the big arch, all of the thousands of people on the streets bad good view of tbe grand display.

WE learn from the Express that there is no longer any doubt about tbe com* pletlon of the road from this oity to Worthlngton—an extension of tbe C. & T. H. R. R. There is a gap of only fourteen miles to close up, and it is ex pec ted the cars will be running through Worthlngton in two months from this date. It will be a big thing for Terre Haute to recover that Greene county trade, and to tbe energy and push, tbe "git up and git" of W. B. Tuell are we indebted for this strong arm reaching into that country.

From this mornlng't Dally Express.

The Fourth of July never passes now, without a celebration at Terre Haute. Some of the biggest affairs of the Itind held in Indiana have been witnessed in the Prairie Citv. The fame of our town in thin regard brought out a big crowd yesterday, and the city was full people. The weather was very warm, but not sultry and the rain shortly before daylight did no harm. It would have been pleasanter for all concerned if it had bezn

By o'clock the principal streets were blockaded, and presented a most animated

appearance.

DECORATIONS.

(,'«

The business houses in the principal streets were numerously and tastefully decorated. Among those to be mentioned are the houses of Ryce & Walmaley, H. S. Richardson, H. Hulman's store and warehouse, the Adelphi. the Filbeck house, Fenner & Lotze, Hoberg, Root & Co, J. H. Sykes, C. C. Smith & Son, Paddock & Purcell, C. F. Froeb, L. Voges, the Cincinnati house, Wm. Hensel, P. Miller, Wilson Nay lor, Dan Crowe, B. Holmes, J. R. Fisher, Jacob White, W. H. Paige & Co., Regan & Best, E. W. Johnson, G. Arbuckle, Owen, Pixley &Co.,Towuley Bros., Miller & Cox, J. Q.

Dickhout, Eberle & Bindley, Mozart hall, Barker & Alvey, J. J. Baur.

THE HEW6A6S. PROCESSION NO. I.

Ihe burlesque procession of the morn ing got started about 10 o'clock, filing west on Uhio street to Third, north to Main and thence east.

First cauie Monsieur Sinbad Alleyhaybad, grand vizier of the day, under an immense cockade, and preceded by two mounted heralds clad in gorgeous attire.

Ringgold band, IS pieces, blowing a gale. Seven grotesque brethren of many fashion as to thecut of their apparel, and ihanv a hue as to the color of the same.

Indianapolis Ladies' cornet band, riding on a grand chariot drawn by ten horse.?. The ladies were most elaboratelv arrayed in the recherche-est of sheep clod ing«, and were very lovely females, lair for to look upon. Each carried some kind of a bassoon, and it was evident that their ability in the music line was unlike anything ever heard of before or since. They had the honor to represent the euterpris ing First ward.

Then came the moving panorama of the world, ten representations of the Hoosiers, Hottentots, Philistines, Zulus, Pukes, Slickers, Corn-crackers, Buckeyes, Wolverines and Tar-Heels.

The Mulligan Guard's military band, more complete in odd char ac-ter* than the works of Dickens.

The muie brigade, half a dozen in number, led by Gen. Ren. Early and Col. Arthur McMahan. The general was so solicitous ier the accuracy of his ranks that he stood) on his mule to command the brigade

The motive power of the concern was a descendant of that oae formerly bestrode by Mr,Balaam.

T. H. Ko«e Drum, 17 pieces, uniformed in bine laced silk drumming for all they were worth.

THE MAIM PRECESSION.

After the Hewgags had made their round the people scattered about tbe city and spent the time to suit themselves. Soon after dinner they began to gather on Main street agun, and abeat half past one o'clock the main procession of the day moved eastward from the crossing of Main and Third streehL in the following order:

Cspt. Wheeler, Marshal. Major Barbour, Marshal's Aid. Ringgold band, 18 ptaes.

Governor's Guard, 24 men. Toute's Cornet band, 12 McKeen Cadets, 39 "erj, 19 & with citv

rv », iv *r--* *v

notwithstanding the liberal prises that had been offer red and none of the benevolent orders appeared.

The firemen made a neat appearance. Chief Dickhout allowed only the reserve force and spare apparatus to move, wisely deeming it best to be prepared for any fire

that might break out. The Light Artillery made a better showingthan ever before.

Mr. Kobert Jackson's dairy wagon, which followed the procession, deserves mention for the taste and completeness with which it had been decorated. Surmounting it was a large stuffed peafowl.

The most interesting feature of the procession wss the new company of young men, the McKeen Cadets, commanded by Copt Friend. Thirty-nine of them paraded, and more would have appeared had there been guns enough to supply then. They had ordered, but had not received their new uniforms, and so tbev had purchased blue shirts and caps. They caused remarks from all by their proficiency, for so new a company. They organized only three weeks *£o, and reoeived the guns onjj last Friday, and had drilled with arms only six times. Yet through all the march they kept good ranks and made but one break. That was caused by one band of music ceasing to play, and the other beginning on different time. The Cadets will soon be the rivals of either of the old companies.

The procession moved east on Main street to Seventh, north to Chestnut, thence east to the depot, where Captain Wheeler briefly addressed tbe military, thanking them for turning out, aaying he would not be with them again, and hoping to hear good reports from them in the future.

The Vandalia company had provided free transportation to the fair ground for the Guara and tbe Cadets.

HARRISON PARK.

Tne Nauonal road was a cloud of dust all the afternoon, and the railroad trains were constantly moving with crowded cara. The crowd at the fair ground was fully as large as the large one of a year ago. An immense number of country people were present, and the city was represented in force. It was a nice and orderly crowd, too, and all*Heemed to be having a good

THE £XERClSE8i,U: *t.!*••

By half past two o'clock the Ringgold band led off with a well rendered trombone solo, at the speakers'stand. Rev. Mr. Dunham oflerred prayer, and the Declaration of Independence was read in good style by Mr. A. B. Cofforth.

Toute's Cornet band then gave a selection, Mr. John C.Selman rendering a cornet solo. Mr. Selman has not many superiors as a cornet player, and he surprised and delighted the laree crowd.

After this the two fine bands played alternately for some time, discoursing sweet music, but excepting thia there were no further exercises, excepting a ahort speech of explanation by Mayor Havens, who was presiding. Out of a* dozen gentlemen who had been announced to make speeches, not one made his appearance. It was a pity, too for the crowd seemed to be just in the humor lor listening, notwithstanding the fact that all had to remain standing, no seats having been provided.

It would seem that an explanation is due from the gentlemen who were to have iven the oratorical part of the business. eir names have been published, the public knows who they are, and everybody is wondering wnpt ha?j become of he pa is

THE SH00TIN6 MATCH.

Breaking glass balls at 21 yards rise had been heard and read ot' by most of ou/ people, but not many of them had seen it clone. Consequently, the shooting match was a novelty, and drew well. The crowd could hardly be kept off the shooters, and it is but right that the gentlemen participating should receive credit for the care that was taken to avoid accidents. Four hundred and twenty-six shots were discharged, with thousands of pe pie about, yet the only person that received a shot was Al. Buckingham, the referee, who got one shot over the ear while tossing coins. It tickled his scalp quite pereptibly.

of tbe report it flies into a thousand pieces THE SHAM BATTLE.

Next Fourth of July we must have a sham battle on a grand ?cale. That of yesterday was only a little one, but it "took"' immensely. Nobody was expecting much of a show. The Artillery corps was discharging the two Parrott guns in the center of the park, and the Governor's Gaurd was quietly marching about, but everybody had seen cannons discharged and soldiers drilled. By and by the Guard was facing the battery, however, and scattered out. The soldiers knelt, aimed, and then with their breech-loaders aet up a fusilade that astonished the crowd and brought it swarming about the scene of action. There were less than two dozen members of the Governor's Guard in the fight, but thev made a racket that would have dene credit to a battery of Gatlings.

The battle lasted about half an hour. It was a great exhibition to the peaceful Hoosiers assembled, and brought up memories of stirring scenes in the minds of the old veterans of the rebellion. Moft of the movements that would be used on the field were shown. They deployed as skirmishers, rallied by fours, retreated, formed a skirmish line across the front, formed in solid front, and last, (but not least) charged bayonets. Captain Hoctor commanded the company admirably, having had an experience itf real battles. In the meantime the artillery was pouring a murderom imaginnry fire of grape and cannister into the attacking party and no one enjoyed the bittle more than the commander of the battery, Captain Dreusike. Finally Captain Hoctor deployed two flanking squad?, which doable-qnicked around the walls of spectators. A grand charge was made all along the line, and a most exciting hand to hand conflict ensued. The Guard rushed in, firing as they came. The artillerists wheeled their guns and let them have it, red hot. The/ were bavonetted at their posts, wrestling manfully for the possession of their ramrods. One gunner seized a guard around the waist and downed him, and they had it out in the presence of the contending soldiers and cneering spectators. The battery. was captured, however, and thuB ended the actin. The killed and wounded were not numerous. Three of the members of the Guard had their fingers sliehtly burned, but nothing serious resulted.

THE WALKING MATCH.

Canada was at first quite overcome br the heat, but was soon himself again. He wins twenty dollars by tbe race.

NOTES.

The celebration was hardly up to the usually good displays made here, but we can't expect wonders every time. Next year Terre Haute must do better.

The lemonade and beer venders were on the fair ground in force, and made a big thing of it. Almost all of them sold out the larger portion of their stock.

One bet that was made was between two young fellows who had a beer-drinking match. In thirty minutes, one drank 27 and the other 28 glasses of beer. When last seen one was lying near the race track, using the other as a pillow. He was still able to krticulate, and offered to eat thirty quails in thirtv minutes.

A number of email "'rackets" were started on the grounds, but they were promptly -quelched by the police, and no blood was spilled. Tne entire night force was on the ground, and the men were attentive to their duty, no'extra force being employed. It was the most orderly crowd, the numbers being considered, that ever appeared at Harrison park.

A fellow named Webel excited a great deal of indignation by continually racing around the track, abusing his lipi$e shamefully. "I U)S NIGHT.

The festivities closed with display of fire-works last evening, beginning at 8 o'clock and continuing till nearly 10. The exhibition was given from the Sa?nger« test arch, and was very fine, being fully up to the average displays of fire-works in this citv. Main street was crowded with people from Fourth street almost to Seventh. and from their close attention and continued cheering it is inferred that thej? enjnved the spectacle very much.
