The procession was at least amile in length,
and was more than thirty minutes passing the
coorner of Columbus Avenue and Water
street From the windows and balconies of
the West House the procession presented a
grand sight-the gaily decked and FURNISHED
machines flashing in the sunlight, the many
colored uniforms, flags and banners of the
6remen, and the soulstirring music from the
many bands, rendered the occasion intensely
interesting to both the eye and ear of the
spectator The styles of uniform of the Com
panies was quite varied; some of them had
their jackets covered with gold and silver tin
sci of every imaginable shape, which attracted
the admiration particularly of the ladies, but
to us the old-fashioned red shirt and real
6reman's hat (not jockey cap trimmed with
spangles) presented the greatest attraction
They did not look as if gotten up for show,
but for serrice
The men generally were all fine looking
able-bodied fellows, and from their appearance,
fully able to battle with the fiery element,
the subduing and cOnguering of which is the
object of their organization. All general
rules, however have an exception, and such
was the case in this instance, The country
companies were mostly composed of youths,
who we suppose, are at the acme of their am
bition, when running wild the masheen.'
In the country, where fires are of seldom oc-
currance, and confdgr0tioHs at long intervals,
we suppose such effeminats fremen can be
tolerated, but in our opinion they are too or
namentat to be useful
After proceeding up Columbus Avenue to
Adams Street, down Adams to Washington, up
Washington to Shelby, down Shelby to Market,
down Market to Hancock, down Hancock to
Water, up Water to Lawrence the process
ion will countermarch to Columbus Avenue,
up Columbus Avenue to the Public Square.
The procession was disposed of to the best
advantage ut the public square, SO as to bring
all within hearing distance Of the orator of the
day stand had been erected around Liz
COLIN and HAMN pole from which Aoated
flag bearing their names until within o few
minutes previous to the arrival of the process
sion, when it was taken down and Union
flag run Hp, y taF more fitting emblem for q
gathering of an association banded together
for the protection of all, than was thai insert
bed with the names of the candidates of
sectional organisation, whose object is to de-

The following programme was observed:
LIST Mnsic by Leland's Band of Cleveland
Prayer by Rev. WM CoRMAc. 1t was a
beautiful invocation of the blessings of Provi-
dence upon the object aimed at by, and the
noble deeds Of the organization, to attend
whose celebration so many were gathered in
this beautiful city. He referred in elegant
language to the accident of the morning, and
prayed that God, in His wisdom, would saneti-
fy il for the good Of those who we're not 80 Wis
