The procession marched around the Square,
being nearly long enough to make two rows
around it, when the machines were left and the
men filed into the Square to listen to the exer-
cises, which consisted of an appropriate prayer
by Rev. F. T. Brown, preceded and followed BY
music, and an address by Hon. D. K Cartier
The speaker briefly reviewed the past ages-the
days Of blood and conquest, referred to the
Olympic games established by Lycurgus, CON-
pared the present occasion with those games,
with the difference of now having fire crowns
to win instead of one, assured his hearers that
the day of conquest BY the sword had gone by,
and that the day of peaceful conquest was com
ing on He Congratulated the Firemen and the
State upon the responsibility both Of numbers
and character of their parade to-day, and spoke
earnestly of this class of men being greater he
roes than they who go forth to the CORY field
to slay and kill their fellow men. Where now,
he asked, is the dominion and power of the
Alexanders, the Cesars and the Bonapartes
1t has departed, and they are remembered only
The result of the Olympic games was to make
the Greeks the most powerful nation of the
globe, and the result of the noble strife between
the Firemen this day viii be felt in coming time.
It had been asked, where is the heroism of these
contests He replied by pointing to Carr, the
Cincinnati fireman who, at the risk Of his own
life saved those of others, and said there was
more true and genuine heroism in such an act
than in plunging into the hottest Of the battle.
But he did not XII anybody and therefore was
no hero, according to the common acceptation
of the term. Make your Captains, said he, out
Of your Cars, and then you will be a noble SOL
dieTy, fighting manfuIly for the protection Of
life and property.
The speech was attentively listened to, and
after benedic.iOn from the Chaplain, three
hearty cheers were given for the speaker, three
more for Cleveland, and three for the President
of the State Association. The companies then
formed and marched through Ontario, Prospect,
Erie and Superior streets, to the Square, and
disbanded for dinner.
