A dress parado was held at Camp Hillings by tho veterans, followed bv a band concert, and then came tho illumi nated and decorated bicyclo parado with first and second prizes. An il luminated parado by tho veterans closed tho day's proceedings so far as any formal excrcisos were con cerned, but it was late when the town quieted down. As was expected, Friday was the big day, tho peoplo of tho county turning out en masse, taxing tho railroads to the utmost, tho various trains being crowded until no more could be accommodated. Tho crowd was the largest the town ever held. and was estimated at 20,(MN). At 9: i() a band concert was given in the public square, followed bv an- other successful balloon ascension at 11 o'clock.
