THE EIGHTH DIVISION.
The eighth division was devoted to the
Fire Department. Behind the herald came
the old-fashioned bucket brigade, the only
method of extinguishing fires hundred
years ago. They were followed by the Cata-

with twenty Of the old fire department, fol-
lowed by the Atlantic No. 2, the first engine
ever built in Portland. The Peaks Island
engine, a much more modern affair, was
drawn by the company, dressed in a neat
uniform of red shirts, blue trousers and
white helmets. The Norway Band escorted
Chief Engineer Cloyes, the Board of Engi-
neers, and the present fire department, who
looked as meat as new pins" in their blue
uniforms, with a double-breasted row of
brass buttons. Then followed the hose carts,
wagons and steamers, the engines shining
like FURNISHED gold and silver, festooned
with flowers, with little evergreen trees pro-
truding from the smoke stack, and the Ian
terms surmounted with stuffed eagles and
owls. Behind steamer No. walked a large
mastiff. This was the best display made by
this department in years

The progress made by the street depart
ment in the hundred years was well illus
trated by the old OK team drawing plows, ac-
companied by a company of men in CONT
mental costumes and marked "Street Depart
ment, 1786." Then came the old fashioned
road roller Of 1886, in turn followed by the
modern street sweeper accompanied by ten
men in check suits bearing hoes, picks and
brooms. Then came the city hand carts and
finally the new steam road roller, the most
novel and interesting featuresof the whole
procession, which went putting along and ex-
cited the curiosity of everybody. This clos
