In the first division where all appered to such
advantage, 1t is but just to speak OF the b. H.
Beai Post dram corps Of young boys. These
little fellows drummsd with a skill aud precis :
ion that put TO shame many OF the best adult
organizations. They are all the sons of veter-
ans. The reserve battalion which incladsd
the cadets OF this city and Bath, the Lewiston
zouaves and saco Rifles were remarkably
steady, aud seemed almost as fresh at the en-
ish as at the start. The gray of the cadet uni
forms, and the zouavs suits served to break
the monotnoy of color that prevailed in this d.
vision giving the ey agreeable rest. The
route was evidently good pull for many OF
the soldiers for it was interesting to notice how
gladly when the halts were ordered the men
stacked arms and threw themselves by the wood
side to rest. Citizens generally supplied ice
water with liberalty, and in some cases large
tubs of lemonade stood ready and were quick.
IL drained.
The Trades process sion, which formed the
third division proved decided feature Of the
day celebration and gave capital idea Of
Pertland's industries, although there was moi
much attempt at elaboration of ideas BY the
most Of the participants, yet the teams them
selves were noticeable for the fine appearance
Of the horses that drew the wagons. They
we're almost all splendid animals carefully
groomed with the harness brasses high polished
and the horses ornamented with colored pom
poms, and in many cases, with embroider
hS-cloths, thus setting off their noble proLor
tons TO great advantage. Although some Of
the firms in the list printed above were absen
the majority furnished teams and many Of them
all the way from two to ten. All the carts
were prettily festooned wit h flags.
Among the noticeable features OF the process
sion were the Portland Rolling Mills teams
loaded with the products Of their work The
Portland Company displayed huge boiler on
which workmen were basily engaged. The
Forest City and Eagle Sugar Refinery carts
were piled high with huge barrels of sugar. T.
Laughlin & Co. had fine exhibit consisting
OF large platform car, supporting an I'm
mense screen, on which were displayed all
kinds Of blocks and articles used by ship
smiths; the car was very prettily draped With
bunting. Leathe & Cores team bore, among
other things, cake of soap sufficient for Brob-
dignag to wash himself with; il weighed r545
pounds. Lamson & Swasey's exhibit Of pot
terry was excellent. Martin, Penneil & Co.'S
variety Of sleighs and carriages was a study.
they commenced with sleigh In the rough
followed 1t with a Russian sleigh, then with
handsome carriages and pony phaetons. w.
q @. r. Milliken's wholesale grocery teams
were loaded with every kind of goods in their
line OF business. The horses were large pow
erful animals. Sawyer Foss & Deerins's
team was piled four stories high with good,
surmounted by an immense aign Twitcbell
Cbamplin & Co. had three teams which. they
claim, csnnot be surpassed; the horses, iiegers
and harnesses ara worth $4,000. j. w. Perk-
ms & Cos fine team filed with all kinds Of
drugs, bore in the centre an immense gilt
mortar, surmounted by a gilt eagle, from
whose beak streamers depended. perley &
Russell had grand display Of all kinds of
ohip phsscof ASAANlhE PitOo Va hOpC VI ali blZth.
J. j. Lappin & Go. made first-rate exhibit
Of grain, hay and straw, prettily and Hastily
arranged. J. l.. Best, who is doing an i'm
menss trade in fresh beef, put on the route a
number OF his teams.
George G. Shaw & Co., the well-known
grocers, made most attractive exhibit. Their
teams were loaded with the most appetizpg
articles, and the decorations, were exceedingly
handsome On the first team was a huge gilt
hand bearing the firm name; on the
second, loaded with chests OF tea, sat
worthy representative OF the Aowery king
dom, who, clad in his native robes, leaned CON
tentedy back, holding a large Chinese um-
brella over his head with one hand, and lazily
tanning himeelf with the other hand. The
third team was surmounted by huge coffeepot
big enough for New York boarding house.
W. L. Wilson & Co. had several teams, all
drawn by fine animals, with their goods ar.
ranged so that he who ran could read. The
fine appearance this firm made in line called
forth great many comments from the specta-
tors as they passed along. l.. A. Cloudy s. Co.,
the enterprisng bakers, displayed striking
feature in a cart filed with the appetizing pro-
ducts of the bakery, which were banded ont
by white.capped and white-aproned men to
boys dressed in tho same manner, who dis
tributed the bundles to the populaoe. A large
boat followed flled with sailors hauling over
piles Of rope and cordage, the boat bearing the
legend 'Tbe Nursery OF Our Navy" We fall
ed to get the name Of the firm represented by
the boat. Tho various coal firms either filed
their Wagons with children IN holiday attire,
or gave the appearance Of loaded teams by a
layer OF coal on wooden frame
LsGrow Bros, the lumber dealers on Preble
street, displayed an deliberately constructed
cottage with stained glass windows. widber
& Bacon, had a wooden tent on wheels, made
olapboard style, each clapboard or layer, a diff
ferent kind OF wood. e. S.Hamlen & Co.
showed a very neat arrangement OF heading
and other kinds of cooperaRes arranged in
pyramids. Next followed the great Ice teams
of Clark & Chaplin, some OF them drawn by
mules, the animals attracting great attention
from our country cousins. The agricultural
implements Of Kendall g. Whitney followed, q
moving machine making odd music" for the
treets OF a city as 1t passed along. Then there
was Walter Wood mower and q lot Of
