MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY "a.

TIE I'D OF FEBRUARY day was OF
served by many in this city, and the procession
of the Hydraulion Fire Company and hele1
Hood and Ladder Company, and the Brother
hood of the Union, was very credltaole affair.
Delegates from five circles of the Brotherhood
of the Union, in company with the Supreme
Washington Circle, visited our city to psrtici-
pate. with their brothers here, Of the same Or
der. in the celebration of the anniversary Of the
birth day of Washington They were headed
bv St. Dominick's Cornet Band, and were met
at the cars by Mount Vernon Circle No. and
Jefferson Circle No. 2, of this city, and we're
escorted to the hall. They numbered $50
strong. After the morning parade, the Wash
ington Circles proceeded to the Marshall House
and took dinner, after which portion of the
Fire Department sent deputat!on to request
the Brotherhood of the Union to parade with
them in the afternoon The invitation was &C
cepted, and they fell into line with the fremen.
As they were passing the City Hotel, on Royal
street, that hotel was discovered to be on ire,
and all hands broke ranks and used their exer-
tions, successfully, in quenching the flames. AT
ter the fire the Brotherhood of the Union re-
turned to their hall, where an Grafton was de-
livered by Supreme Washington j. Martin
McFarlin, and stirring addresses were made BY
J. W. Thompson, Grand E. Washington, and
the Brothers Denham, Wade, Berry, Warder,
and others, after which they were escorted to
the cars, and returned home. The Hydraul-
ion Fire Company and Relief Hook and Lad
der Company, in full uniform, made very fine
appearance, with their apparatus gaily deco
rated. The procession was under the charge
of Chief Engineer A. G. Kell, Marshall, and
as it passed by the engine houses the bells were
rupg. Two fine bands discoursed most excel
lent music, which added much to the culiven-
meut of the occasion.
