Eight grand sions of military were in ling. The Al- bany Burgess corps, Buffalo Eagle Zouaves, Philadelphia National Guard, aid other Vol iinteeer orgaeizations made brilliant appearance. Among promi- nent abjeets of attraction in the procCt- sion, were a full rigged and manned ship, and a printing press. Several colored organizations, civil and military are participants.
