Every window was festooned with flowers, banners, and like array.

Every shop was converted into gorgeous saloons, decorated with trees, garlands, evergreens, resplendent in silver, crimson, and gold, filled with hundreds of anxious spectators.

Every nook and corner was made bright by the sparkle of beautiful eyes, merry smiles and happy faces.

Thousands jostled on every side in representation of monkeys, lions, tigers, soldiers, clowns, maniacs.

Satanic deities and every other deity credited to countless ages, helped to swell the crowd wedging themselves between line upon line of carriages four abreast.
