In his general orders Marshal jeffrey
figured without the welcome guests OF the
day. the battalion from the fort. They
we're assigned to the post of honor and
by their soldierly bearing, excited the ad-
miration of all. Lieuts. Mann and Chey-
noweth and DIR. Ives were Col. Ofiey's
staff, and the eight companies of thirty
five men each were commanded by Capts.
Bennett, Green, Rodgers Roberts, Van
Horne and Sharp, and Lieuts. Howe and
Lockwood. The men were in full uni
form, and the officers and musicians were
georgeouslY arrayed.
The four companies of the volunteer
fire department comprised the first divi-
sion, which was in charge Of Chief FIRE.
dendall. They were placed in the order of
seniority and the gallant Pioneer Hooks
led, followed by the veteran and hard
working Durants. Then came the ever
ready and swift moving Alerts, creating a
decided sensation in their natty new uni
forms. The faithful Clarks, regretting
inability to exhibit their new hose house,
brought up the rear. The foremen in
command of the companies were: Pioneer
Hooks, l.. W. W~arlaumont; Durants,
John Smith; Alerts, Frank Roedel,
Clarks, Mr.. Wilson. Every Alert in the
line. and many members of each of the
other companies, carried magnificent bou.
quets, with which to decorate the graves
of their dead. Cheyenne was proud of
her fire department yesterday.
The A. o. u. w. drum corps, a %juven-
lie organization of splendid attainments,
led by Prof. McAllister, led the second
division. The lodge, in rich and elegant
uniforms, marched to the drum taps of
the young zouaves. The latter have been
in training but three weeks and did re-
~markably well. James p. Julien COM
manded the Select Knights and evidenced
considerable ability as a drill master. All
Of the were very pretty and
several evolutions quite complicated.
Uniform Rank, K. of p, Capt. Schnit-
ger leading, followed the A. o. U. w.
The effect produced by their white he'll
NETS, dark coats and shining swords was
very pleasing to the eye.
That very popular order, the Irish Be-
nevolent Society, in regulation ~regalia, in
charge of P. j. Nolan, was division No. 3.
A magnificent floral harp, afterwards de-
posted on the grave of the late Michael
Powell, was the browning feature of this
portion of the parade.
The Odd Fellows, as division No. 5,
made a fine showing. Judge K%uykendall
was in command and led with the pre-
cision and promptness which made the
Cheyenne lodge so noticeable at Denver
last year. Their banners were the hand
soonest ioated during the day.
The fifth division was a dream of larry
land made real. 1t consisted of fully 300
school children and became part of the
parade at the Central building on Twen-
tieth street. Prof. Churchill formed them
into a line which occupied the sidewalk
for two squares. The girls. for the most
part in white dresses, were in the major
ity. With a disregard for discipline
which, in Its unaffected innocence, was
truly refreshing on a martial occasion, the
public school pupils marched between the
dignified Odd Fellows and the solemn Wis
aged veterans in the manner which best
suited them.
I John f. Reynolds Post, G. A. R., and
Meade Camp Sons of Veterans, guarded
the rear, led by a drum corps and a firing
squad. Capt. E. S. Smith was officer of
the day. On no previous occasion In the
history OF the city were SO many veterans
and sons OF soldiers IN line. Men whom
no one had ever surmlsed were parties to
the great struggle donned tie uniforms OF
