The Masonic Order presented a skeleton of their
grandeur of former days, to which they have been
reduced by the anti-ma soDry of the infected dis

Here came, in peculiar contrast, the Croton Pipe
Department, comprising some dozen carriages,
drawn by SIX four, and two horses, carrying Croton
water pipes of various sizes. The first carriage
contained a number of workmen engaged in pre-
pairing pipe for use, and dressed in working uniform
with bands upon their caps marked |" pipe layers"
Which caused many serious reflection among the
Blatchtords, the Stevensons, the Glentworths, and
the Wings and Pipe Layers generally.
Then came the Little Boat, about seven feet long,
mounted on a carriage, in which were seated seve-
raj little girls and boys, bearing the inscription of

The sixth division, under direction OF Capt. VIM.
Cornell assisted by George G.. Hopkins, one of the
aids of the Grand Marshal, comprised the hearty and
robust Butchers of city and Brooklyn, who pre-
sented an appearance highly credtable to their en-
erpriZe and public spirit.
They were accompanied by two trucks, bearing a
representation of farmers yard, and the butchers
head quarters the former containing number Of
live animals in prime condition, and the latter the
banners giving the names OF each market, and other
devices with magnificent stuffed, but not roasted,
