Rain, Rain.—Just as tho proces-
sion reached the grounds on Fri-
day morning it bogan sprinkling
ram and continued to shower dur-
ing most of the day, about noon
there was a heavy rain of short
duration. The nnpropitioas. weath-
er in tho morning kept ma.ny peo-
ple jrom coming to town, and tho
rain during the dry did much to
mar the pleasure at the Firemen's

lant firemen, who arc using "su-

THE MAI-FEST.
First Day.
Tho procession was formed on
Sandy street at 9:30 a. m., in tho
following order:
1. Voss' Brass Band.
2. Brenham Greys.
3. May Queen and escort.
4. Speakers in carriages.
5. City Council in carriages.
6. Brenham Free School.
7. Turners.
8. Gcrmania Society.
9. Visiting Firemen.
10. Brenham Firo Department.

The line of march was up Sandy
street to North, up North to tho
Firemen's New Park. Arriving
at the grounds at 11 o'clock a. m.,
the crowning of the May Qucon
was announced by the Chief as
first in order. Mr. Eugono Muse,
of tho llook and Ladder company,
being tho chosen representative of
tho dopartmont to delivc the cor-
onation address, discharged the
duty in a manner highly crodita
ble to himself and the dopartmont,
whilo tho responso by Miss Emma
Harris, the (^ueon, was not only
appropriate, but modest and dig-
nified, calling forth complimentary
encomiums from the entire audi-
ence.
Judge C. R. Brcodlove was next
introduced and delivered an ap-
propriate and enthusiastic address
of welcome, in which he took oc-
casion to compliment the Brenham
Firo Department in glowing terms.
His address was attentively lis-
tened to and enthusiastically
cheered.
Gen. John Saylos, the orator o
the day, was next introduced and
favored the audience with a very
able address, descriptivo of the
early settlement of Brenham ant
Washington county, which abound-
ed in glowing truths and inci-
dents connoctcd therewith, which
was attested to by many old set-
tlers present.
At 2 o'clock a contest was had
between the members of the Bren-
ham Gun Club, in which Messrs.
B. S. Rogers and John Haynic, o
Chappell Hill, participated, re-
sulting in a victory for Dr. J.
Tristram, of Brenham, who broke
thirteen balls out of thirteen, de-
feating his leading competitor,
Mr. August Koch, by one ball.
From*3 to 4 o'clock the military
drill 6y the Brenham Greys took
place, and it is due them to say
that they did some admirable dril
ing under the carcful and pains
taking orders of their cfficict cap
tain, J. M. Byrns. Every evolu-
tion was performed in a satisfac-
tory manner, and was enthusiasti-
cally applauded. Breuham always
takes a pride in honoring tho
Greys, and nono ongago in such
demonstrations more enthusiasti-
cally tl^n do tho Firo Department.
At 6 o'clock p.m. a grand ball
was tendered the children, and at
