when at fire or elsewhere. Mrs. Volkel
presented it with one of the finest bouquets
! s"en in the line. Generally or singly, No.

Trad FERRY NO. r..
AL eyes were turned toward Trad Ferry
! No. II, as there had been cOnsidera BILE
talk about her decorations. To describe
the machine is difficult task as she was
literally covered with silverware, ninety
pieces, all OF which the members have won
in we'll contested battles. Posted on the
machine We're two tiremen, standing by
| water plugs, all in silver, about twenty
four inches high. The engine, LADY
| Gantert," has seen only two years of SER
vice and shows brilliantly. Her decorations
certainly spoke well for the taste of the
designer. and it was a matter of dispute
| with people whether this or No. was the
hadsomest. At any rate she was pretty
| enough.
| President, Denis Mccarthy; secretary,
James A. Cummings; treasurer, d. Brady;
foreman, James Lynch: w. Baker and T.
Brennan, assistants; Peter Cooley, steward;
marshal, J. H. Batson.
| Gre;na ladies presented this company
| with very pretty flag, which Foreman
Lynch received with becoming moGesty.
PERSEVERANCE, NO. l3.
Although "Rough and Ready" is their
| motto, only one half Of it proved true yes
terIay-they were not rongh. When Mr..
Frank McElroy, marshal, walked into
Perdido street, attired in his regalia, the
members stood aside and bowed their heads
in token of their appreciation of their own
| excellent judgment in having selected SO
handsome a gentlemen to lead them, and
really Frank was just about as fine looking
a marshal as was in the parade. Somebody
asked who that distinguished looking for.
eigner was acting aid to the marshal, but
nobody could tell until Miles Freret hap
peDed along and emphatically asserted
that it was Dan Owens, but that occurred
before the rain came: after the storm almost
any body would have known him. AS Mrs.
Heatherton directed or assisted in decorat-
ing the steamer it necessarily follows that
all was finely done. The beautiful yellow
satin trimmings were furnished by Nine.
Olympic, and elected fattering remarks
from all sources. just as the company was
about to form splendid wreath of imita-
ton eamelias was presented by Mrs. II. f.
DeBar, and the recipients appreciated the
donation, although the rain prevented it
being displayed. In the centre we're the
figures l3, in small camelias. II the
machine was not quite as magnificent as a
few others it matters not, as she was really
beautiful. During the day Foreman John
Fitzpatrick had an agreeable surprise, as
the members presented him with silver
water set, and he will never forgive
his companions. MIR. Fitzpatrick
long time ago offered prize for
the member who would, in the year, make
the largest number of runs to calls. Two
members found themselves even at the ex-
piration OF the time, and to settle the ques-
ton two gold medals were given, one to
John Ortis and the other to G. +. Bur-
meister These badges had proper inscrip-
tions and notices. Mr.. Josh Lipman had
offered a fair prize for the one who made
tie most pipes during 1874, and Mr.. Frank
Boyerlbore it off in triumph. 1t was one of
the finest fire hats ever rmade-seventy-two
combs. On the rear of the rim was silver
plate, Oh which was engraved an explana
ton concerning the gift.

dent, NJ. Hanson; secretary, E. A. Landry;

by the lines, all neatly attired. Four proud

Having passed over the route the com
pany willingly accepted an invitation from
the marsials to partake of dinner, and
had good time.
JACKSON NO. lS
As a matter Of course the Jacksons were
able to make a splendid appearance. The
plan adopted was to make something
typical. and properly legend of their name
sake was portrayed. In front, on the
drivers seat, was gilded bust of their
hero; behind which were small cannons.
Above were three bales of cotton, golden
