the entrance of the hotel were
closed.
The first of the parade came into
vide a few moments after 10 o’clock
and it continued for an hour
and three quarters (1 3/4)
It was a mighty??? tribute to the
great military genius.
The sky was cloudy except for a
few moments when the sun came
out.
The entire parade was on foot
except for the mounted polices
and in front of the lines of people
on both sides of the street stood
but a few feet apart the
African ??? ??? of the army.
The effect was colorful for their
heads were wrapped as they wear

hung their long red capes with
the ??? thrown back over their
shoulders to show the cream
color lining.
