From the returns made 10 the Grand Marshal wa
learn that the number of torch-bearers was over

near the actual number which turned out. The num-

uniformed, and in their personnel among the most die
tngusbed of our visitors on that occasion. They had
performed alor journey; they were merchants,
facturers farmers cashiers of banks and professors;
not man among them that was not at home promi-
nent, both socially aud pol ticaIy. Their cap WAS
urque, it being in tue shape Of ak head, that
when it was on the himself was the helve-a fact
that led 10 the toast "To the Portland AK helves."
Mr.. L. O. Cowan, one Of the Maine Electors was in
their ranks. The Union Wide-Awakes had Invited
them and the Meriden Wide-Awakes to a cousion at
their headquarters in Stuyvesant institute at the cOss
