The Order Of United American Me-
chanics.
The Order OF United American Mechanics-a
young, but powerful organization, whose motto Is,
'Put None But Americans on Guard" and who
were organized some three years snce-held their
second annual parade yesterday, In honor OF
the birthday Of George Washington. The
Aston House was made the rendezvous OF
the different chiefs and marshals OF the
Order, who were glorious in red, white
and blue scarfs and white aprons, with the COM
pass and square-the distinctive badge OF the
Order-stamped thereon. The different councils
formed during the morning on Warren and Murray
streets and Park place. The New York councils
were under command OF Grand Marshal Trow-
BRIDGE the Brooklyn and Long Island councils were
under the command OF Marshal Pierce, and the
third and last division was from New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, under the command OF Mar
shall Williams. The different councils, num-
bering forty-tw0 in all, were divided into
three divisions, and the actual number OF United
Mechanics in the procession, excluding the
bands OF which there were ten or twelve, was $780,
There are sixty hodges In the order throughout the
United States, and its strength is about seven
thousand members. Heading the procession were
about fifty aids In the uniform OF the Orders, and
at intervals handsome American nags and richly
emblaz0ned banners were borne by standard
bearers The Grand Marshal, who had entire
direction of the procession, was Colonel John
Missing and his chief aid was Colonel George II.
Hitchcock. There were two original features in
the procession that attracted much attention.
OsceOla Lodge, of Brooklyn, had resident OF the
City OF Churches attred in the costume Of OsceOa,
the renowned Seminole brave. He carried bow
and arrows, a scalping knife, tomahawk,
and at his belt depended two stuffed waterfalls
done up In braids. 1t was an immense burlesque
ON the MOdoc tribe. The waterfalls were intended
to represent scalps taken In the heat OF bloody
battle. Much laughter was created by the mock
savage and his comic appearance. P0cahontas
Lodge had youth OF sixteen or seventeen years
OF age attired in Indian costume and riding wild
mustang The lad was attired as an Indian squaw
and was supposed to represent the Princess Poca-
hOntas. His face was dreadfully smeared
with different colOred paints, and he seemed
to be shiverlng with cold. The procession
was really fine one, and reflected much credit on
its organizers. At one O'Clock the different coun
ellis fell into line and marched, four files 'front.'
down broadway to the HERALD Office, and up Park
row to the City Hall, where they were reviewed by
the Mayor and Common Council from the steps OF
the City Hall. The route OF the procession after
wards was up Broadway, Fifth avenue Fourteenth
street and Twenty-thrd street, and around the
monument to George Washington In Union square,
which was saluted reverently by the procession
