the PARADE.
A Fine display of Naval, military and
other OrganIz atIons.

The parade in the morning was of course
the main event of the day for the many. AS
early as eight o'clock people began gather
ing on the street corners and along sidewalks.
The crowd increased in numbers with every
incoming train and by the time set for the
procession to start the sidewalks along the
line of march were we'll nigh impossible.
The naval brigade landed early and marched
along back streets to it position on High
street. The militia marched down Congress
street from the station on their arrival and
halted near Park street. The Grand Army
and other civic bodies marched up Congress
street, forming on New High, right resting
on Congress.
The fire department which was in many
respects the most important division Of the
parade. attracting the most notice at any
rate formed on Free street after consuming
great deal of time on account of the un-
wieldy character of the apparatus in getting
into position. The line moved promptly at
1850. A platoon Of mounted police CON-
manded by Marshal Green and Deputy
Merrill leading off. The glittering staff Of
the chief marshal called forth much applause
along the line, which rose to the pitch of
enthusiasm as the gallant sailors of the fleet
appeared. The militia of Maine came next,
Adjutant Gen. Sprague and Col John j.
Lynch aiding at their head.
Drum Major Jackson, the Lewiston phe-
nomenon, marching at the head Of the
Second Regiment excited the envy Of the
small boys by his dextrous twirllng of the
gold stick Col. Brett's men marched we'll
and were well received but the applause
grew loud and frequent when the Portland
boys in the First Regiment marched by.
Following the militia came the Grand
Army men and the Sons Of Veterans to-
gether with the Forest City Commandery
K. G. E., who executed some fancy maneu-
vers on Congress stree that took well with
the crowd.
The fourth division the fire department
came next, headed by Moore's band of Ken
nebunk. The Portland fire department
marched first the men in body, followed by
their apparatus. All looked as nice as new
pins, the men in their neat new uniforms; !;
the apparatus shined to the last degree and
decked out with flowers. In the tender of
Engine stood the veteran Porter and on the
lux VI bu0 uOoo CdiLluSO WIN tuO ullhOA AOuO
young Arthur Whidden, six years old,
dressed in a complete freman's uniform.
Following the Portland apparatus came the
visiting firemen and their apparatus, the en-
gines and hose reels being hauled by horses
belonging to the street department. The
procession required "a minutes to pass a
given point, the First Parish church.
