The splendid Parade last Tuesday-
Two Brave Firemen HOnored.

As was stated in last Sunday mornings
News they would do, the Fourth Regiment
Colonel Samuel D. Dickinson, command
ing-the Police and Fire Departments last
Tuesday joined in parade, which has not
been equaled in point of order and from
military point of view in this city for many
long year. The Fourth Regiment in
their handsome uniforms to the tune of
300 never looked finer. and Colonel Dick
inson looked full a General with his fine
military bearing, and surrounded as he was
by his SPLENDID staff The police showed
up, if anything, more favorably than ever
before, with Chief MIrpey and Captain
Nose Newton particularly, above par.
They were $50 strong. The Fire Depart
ment, either, did not take back seat for
tine appearance and a full deck of them
were on hand. Indeed, in one point of
view, the three divisions of the parade NAV
truly be said to have been sithree of a
kind and three aces at that. The best
proof that the parade was something for
the city to be proud OF is the fact that
everybody who is anybody and not few
nobodys greeted the line of march at every
street corner and between every street.
The Fourth Regiment formed on Jersey
avenue, with the right resting on Seventh
street. The Police Department formed on
Jersey avenue, with right resting ON Sixth
street. The Fire Department formed on
Eighth street. Hamilton Square, being
the rendezvous. platform was erected
there, from which Mayor Cleveland pre-
ssnted to the two brave laddies to whom
they had been rewarded-Costigan and
Conk-the Lorillard prize and Stevens
Medal. TIE Mayors speech was neat and
impressive and the recipients accepted
their reward la voices choked by the
greattul throbbinSs of their big. brave
hearts. The presentation was as pretty
taDleaux as was ever dramatized. After the
presentation, the s'three of kind" took
up the line of march which was from
Eighth street to East Hamilton Place. to
