Portable part of the procession. Quite
a band of juvenile Turner's from to

by detachment of firemen. Seated
Within the car was little Constance
Jones, child seven or eight years OF
age, representing in costume the God
dess of Liberty; and a very pretty
goddess she made, only that she
looked more like sylph or fairy
than the somewhat motherly character
she per,onated. Little Constance was
the jem of the whole throng, and the
firemen were proportionally proud of
their prize. After this came the en-
gine garnished with flowers and
the hook and ladder truck also
transformed into q triumphal car,
and containing three girls in char.

"Trumpet Girl" Misses Lulie Leh-

ing by the fireman on the box of the
engine.
