their disciplines, while the spectators enjoyed a pic
nic. Peddlars’ carts ringed the area, booths were
erected, gingerbread and candy were sold, and the
did a heavy afternoon busi
is. At the close of the drills, the
s were fired off and it soon
:ame clear which horses were -still
:en. Bugles and drums once again
called the soldiers to a final
parade for the citizens, who
-.howed their proper deference.
‘Enough good looks to make
ter pass muster ...”
is- American flags, whan soiled, can be successfully washed
in lukewarm suds. Rinse well, don’t wring, and let drip dry.
