The Orangemen's Parade

The Orange procession started from Lafayette place at 10:40 a.m., with about 700 Orangemen in line, and the escort of 1,600 police. They started in the following order: carriage with chief marshal and police commissioners; carriage with Mr. White from Canada, and Mr. Fullerton, Lord Orange Magnate; carriages with heads of detective department; there were seven lodges, each with a banner, and the same with American flags. They had two bands which played "Home, Sweet Home" along Broadway, up, and on the way back from Thirty-fourth street, "Orange and Green Will Carry the Day."

Along Fifth avenue to Twenty-seventh and Madison avenue on the march it was rumored that a pistol was fired striking a boy in the leg. From 8 or 10 windows on the entire route ladies waved handkerchiefs. One man was arrested for disorderly conduct. About 2,000 persons accompanied the procession, of whom some 300 were Irish protestant workingmen, in their Sunday clothes, and about 30 or 40 women, evidently relatives of the processionists, of whom about a dozen wore orange rosettes or ribbons. The Orangemen returned to headquarters on Eighth avenue at 1 p.m. without insult or molestation.
