Great Regulars: In addition to the cannon fire

and flags, there were lemonade stands and a "band was playing."

Then upon this jubilant scene intrudes Charlie's unfortunate and ultimately fatal cap-gun shooting. The day was moving along splendidly, "To have it all spoiled/By a piece of a cap shot under the skin of my hand."
