red during the whole of the early part of the day.
"The orderly conduct of the people, which we have already described
as having been observable during the morning, was maintained through
the rest of the day. Notwithstanding that the crowd, at three
o'clock, had increased tenfold, no disturbance nor riot occurred.
The return of Her Majesty attracted a few from the crowd, but nearly
every one returned, and all remained for the grand attraction of this
part of the day's amusement--the fireworks. As evening closed in,
the fatigue of the people rendered rest, as well as refreshment,
necessary, and every booth was, in a short time, crowded with eager
inquiries for eatables and drinkables. The dancing booths were
crowded to suffocation, and the viands of the purveyors of grog were
soon put into requisition."
The next day was stormy and wet at first, but afterwards turned out fine,

cab went against some posts, and this brought the horse to a standstill.
The policeman ran up, and after much difficulty and opposition on the
part of the Marquis's friends, he succeeded in lodging his lordship in
the station house. His lordship was too drunk to allow his being
enlarged on bail.
In explanation, the Marquis said he had a young horse in his cab, which
was very difficult to drive. The animal, having a heavy load behind him,
became unmanageable, and went, in spite of all he could do, on the
pavement.
