Description

“THE FOURTH OF JULY was celebrated on the Monday with the usual amount of patriotism. The procession was the most gorgeous and the best conducted of any we have ever seen. The admirable arrangements of the Grand Marshal, General Cazneau, were fully carried out. The Tenth Division, which consisted of the colored military companies, was small, but presented a remarkably fine appearance. The Brannan Guard, Capt. S. Henriques, and the Independent Guard, Capt. B. Dodson, looked well, and marched with order and precision. The Morgan Cadets added greatly to the attraction. In this Division were two barouches, one containing clergymen and invited guests; the other was the finest turn-out in the whole procession. It was a beautiful vehicle, drawn by six spirited horses, containing Messrs. H. Smith and R.A. Hall, (members of the General Committee) H. S Morris, Wm. Murray and Wm. Johnson. The horses were skillfully managed by that experienced horseman, Tom Watson. The Division was under charge of Capt. Ferguson, aid to the Grand Marshal, assisted by Messrs. Z. F. Bell, S. Peneton and J. R. Blake, Deputy Marshals.”
