Behind them came the tall silver candelabra, the municipal corporation, the precious images dressed in satin and gold, representing St.Dominic and the Virgin of Peace in a magnificent blue robe trimmed with gilded silver, the gift of the pious ex-gobernadorcillo, the so-worthy-of-being-imitated and never-sufficiently-praised Don Santiago de los Santos.

All these images were borne on silver cars.

Behind the Mother of God came the Spaniards and the rest of the clergy, while the officiating priest was protected by a canopy carried by the cabezas de barangay, and the procession was closed by a squad of the worthy Civil Guard.

I believe it unnecessary to state that a multitude of Indians, carrying lighted candles with great devotion, formed the two lines of the procession.

The musicians played religious marches, while bombs and pinwheels furnished repeated salutes.
