 interspersed among it's branches.
 On the line of march they rendered several
 fine selections of patriotic songs.
 After these tine Knights of St Patrick fol-
 lowed in carriages, MT Fahy, president.
 Then came the Dwight school cadets, led by
 their own drum corps; explained by Fred D
 Baldwin. They showed considerable skill in
 marching as did also the Gile Continental
 Guard of New Haven, Captain Fred Adams.
 The Eighth Ward Zouaves, of New Haven,
 Capt. Charles F. Hubbard, presented fine
 appearance both in marching and dress. Next came a drum corps followed by the New Haven Horn band, c. M. Harrison, laader. The continual blowing of the three- foot horns drowned the sound Of music of the band behind them.
 The most comical and Imaginable feature of the whole march was the battalion of An tioues and Horribles led by MT. George K Jewell. who made himself famous last win fer bv organizing 1.-Two Paws Greatest Show on Earth" which he had on this pa- ! rade. Mir Jewell rode donkey which had
 seen better days He was attlred m ian tsstic costume, which drew rounds of laugh ter from the spectators. He had In line carriage more than a hundred years old and still serviceable for country use The sec ond and third companies which followed ! were not behind in their costumes and war l paint. His .'white elephant" drawn by four handsome oxen, was laughable in the ex- | treme. It was composed of light | frame covered with muslin and four feet long. He also had a carriage showing ' the mode of locomotion in 1794. His com- pany numbered fifty men and the horses ! which were used were of the worst speci- ] mems of horsefesh in the city and surround | ing country. The Montowese and potato ! bug" boys showed up well, also the ancient | and forlorn 'twoman on horseback" and the l fiat woman"-''please guess on her weight, :" tickled the public. In the fifth division the \ -I.Isa I1oI oIo kNo ooa nv ! Waller and staff. The staff were in uniform | and the Governor was kept busy lowing &C., \ knowledgments to the people. In this di- 1 vision were many carriage loads of distin- guished citizens.
 The volunteer fremsn above alluded to I were in the sixth division. The veteran ex- ! chief, Hiram Camp, was division marshal 4 The old fremen were all voted fine body \ of men. When the volunteers were halted F in Ed street, Chief Engineer 0. s. Browns \ men, of Fair Haven East, sang several songs I finely, and were warmly applauded. The out ' of town fire .nen attracted much notice. West ! Ansonia, Birmingham, Shelton, Danbury and \ other towns were represented Among the \ guests in carriages was Lieut.. H. Jerry Bish- \ op of the U. $. N. The seventh division was composed of the \ New Haven fire department and hundreds | viewed this part of the line vita great in ! terest. A better organized force it would be hard to find in America.
 THE TRADES DIVISIONS.
 The division assigned to the trades was well sustained. The merchants and manu- Y lecturers turned out well and many of tn :m \ displayed their wares Gith much ingenuity | Nearly all the wagons were trimmed elabor- | ateIy. The postoffice department was rep- ! resented by full force of mail carriers and
 several mail delivery wagons. The two new \ wagons which deliver mail from the outer | portions of the city were followed by 8 ! wheelbarrow pushed by Dr. Watts, and con- tsining mail pouch, representing the old way of carrying the mails. Two wagons fol- lowed, showing the new way. Smedley's immense furniture van was a feature of the ' parade A youthful George Washington n \ rode on top of the van. The International Express company had three single teams and one double The Yale shell, which car- ried the crew to victory at New London last ! week, was gsudily trimmed and was much \ admired along the route M Steinert & Go. had an immense van, upon which were three \ pianos and number of men playing upon ' them.

 NOTABLE AMONG THE DECORATIONS.
 The decorations throughout the city and particularly along the line of march showed | that the citizens entered heartily into the spirit of the day. Every flag was flung to l the breeze. Posts and porticoes were wound | around with bunting and flags. In the cen- \ ter of the city every building was decked out | with flags and bunting of every description ! Church, Chapel and State streets displayed
 the national colors in infinite forms of drap- \ ing Even better taste was dis played in the decorations of many l of the private dwellings, which ! with the appearance and applause of ladies both young and old must have cheered the \ men on in their slow tiresome march. Among the dwellings which presented particularly fine appearance on Chapel street were the I brown stone block opposite Wooster Square, | ex-Governor English's, o B Eorth's, the Hotchkiss residence, MT Parmalee's and Cap | tain Townshend's. In Captain Townshend's portico was chair trimmed with small silk flags, which his grandfather brought from Boston in 1886. Captain Phipps displayed the companion chair, which was brought here at the same time. Dr. Skiff's house was also decorated.
 On York street the houses of c B Dem-
