FIRST DIVISION.
Then the naval division moved along,
headed by the band of the Tennessee uni
formed in blue, except the drum and bugle
corps, which was gorgeous in red and gold.
Right after the band were three companies
of United States marines from the fleet in
brilliant unifo rms of blue with golden
epaulets and white helmets. There were
three companies of marines, and each COM
pany was drawn up in two faultless ranks
that extended the whole width of the street
as the men moved along. Behind the ma
rines came eight companies of as fine blue
jackets as sail in the men-of-war of any
nation. They are the same fellows who
marched into Panama two years ago, and
saved the Isthmus from anarchy. Their
uniforms were less brilliant than those of
the marines, but their sailor suits of dark
blue white leggins, white caps and broad
collars gave to their long, regular ranks
an appearance of equally fine
discipline and bearing. Each sailor in the
ranks carried rifle without bayonet, car
fridge belt and canteen Behind the COM
panies came six pieces of artillery, each gun
dragged by about a score of sailors and
attended by gunners. The Tennessee, Yam
tic, Swatara and Galena each sent 3-inch
rifle gun, and in addition the Yantic and
Tennessee each sent Gatling gun with
gunners. In all the men and officers OF the
naval brigade numbered sos. With them
were detachment from the United States
revenue cutter Dallas. These had brass
cannon mounted on two-horse Gray, which
was decorated with bunting and driven by a
lusty blue jacket, who handled the reins as
handily as a stage driver.
SECOND DIVISION.
The military division, headed by the Var
mouth band followed the blue jackets. The
First Regiment of the Maine Militia is a
well drilled and good looking body of men
and never marched better than on yesterday
when with full ranks and moving in excel
lent order the companies swept by the grand
stand, following General c. P. Mattocks
marshal of the division and his staff and
Col Lynch, commanding, and staff. The
troops, just from the annual muster, had the
bearing of veterans and they won the
praise of all who saw them
The soldiers of today were followed by
the soldiers of "a years ago, forming the
Grand Army battalion under command OF
Col. E. FL. Harmon. The members of Bos-
worth Post, Commander Motley, and
Thatcher Post, Commander Williams, wore
the Grand Army regalia and turned out
with full ranks. A color guard from
Bosworth Post had charge of the battered
battle flag of the 18th Maine, which was
torn and worn in the eompaigns Of the Re
bellion. The tattered flag of the First Maine
Battery was also carried. With them were
carried the stats of a number of captured
Confederate flags, the flags themselves being
kept in Washington. The Boxer gun on a
decoated floor was drawn after the Grand
Army Posts.
Shepley Camp, Sons of Veterans, Captain
VIM. Fl. Perry, were in the battalion and did
themselves credit.
The unattached companies came next
There were four of them, the Portland Ca
diets, Captain Eastman; the Yarmouth Rifles
CAPTAIN Merrill; the Bath Light Infantry
CAPTAIN Stetson, and the Fraternity Primary
Cadets who, forty-five strong, in the gray
uniforms showed themselves worthy OF
marching with the other companies and thai
is saying a good deal for them. About 50(
men were in the ranks in this division. Car
riages containing the following were escort
ed by the military;
Pennell, of lewiston President of the State Sen
