THE GRAND PARADE.
Nearly 500 Men IN Line Music by Four
Bands-A Grand sigh.

1t was great day Thursday for the Yer
mont State fremen' association which re-
ceived its baptism without fire in manner
that assures the organization a brilliant
future 1t was the first annual tournament
of the association and it was a
gratifying success in every feature
Burlington started out to give
the fire ladies OF the State as
warm reception rs their name and nature
required and if words and actions have any
significance she succeeded perfectly. In the
first place the local weather clerk selected
one of the most delightful days of the sea
son, throwing in a refreshing as well as
timely shower during the night previous, so
that the atmosphere and streets We're in the
most favorable conditions. Old Sol even
smiled brightly all the day long, allowing
only an occasional cloud to fit across has
genial face Our residents acquitted them
selves well in the way Of street decorations,
although they have often outdone their ef
fort Of yesterday. Our iiremeu under
the leadership of Chairman l.. {.
Grant and Chief Engineer Perkins
left nothing undone to make the visit
ors' stay in the city pleasant aud if the
| State association was too exactingI in any
particular it should not be laid at the door
of Burlington, for this child of year wa,
born at Rutland. The parade was pleas
ing spectacle and was pronounced by many
visitors the finest procession of the kind
yet seen in Vermont. The races and
other contests of the tournament were ex
/ citing and sufficiently close and Vermont
did not let tho Empire state capture all OF
the best prizes. Most of the visitors "a
well as the winners went home telling well
and Burlington is therefore happy
The parade as whole, was probably the
finest ever given in Vermont. The order o
march was as follows

THE TOURNAMENT.


The most interesting event Of the day
in many respects was til. hand engine
contest, the arrangements for which were
complete in every respect. The conditions
required engines to play through 20O feet Of
hose, each company to select their own
nozzle The site chosen for the contest was
near the south side Of the enclosure within
the track and almost directly west of tho
iud-o,' stand The platform fOr the en-
gine- 10 rest upon was constructed near the
turn for the home stretch on the track and
water for the contest was supplied from
n large tank sunk INTO the ground directly
west of the platform, the supply being
forced through hose from the lake by
steam fire engine. The distance from
the platform cast to the pipe stand was
2jO feet and about - feet still further east
and near the judges stand was "the board
upon which the distance covered was asc'r-
taincd The hoard consisted of a narrow
platform over 50 feet long, which was Gov
cred with paper held down by narrow
wooden strips. and upon which the streams
wero thrown. the paper serving to show
plainly the extreme point where the water
fell and thus indicating the exact distance
covered The board was decorated with
small national flags and presented a neat
appearance.
The entrie, for the hand engine contest
/ were tn, NickNackct Engine company of

The New MEXICAN received information
some time ago that Hon. A. II Morehead
was greatly dissatisfied With the present
Democratic policy and had a leaning to-
ward the right direction, which Of course
means Repnblicanism. Messrs. Morehead
and Bragaw are good, substantial and in
fluential men. Should they join the Re-
publican party, and it looks as if they
would, they will add strength to it in
Grant county. In November, 1885, Mr.
Morehead was the candidate for probate
clerk. The Republicans thought 80 well
81 him that they made no nomination for
he Office and Mr.. Morehead of course was
slscted by an overwhelming majority. As
