The local divisions of the A. o. H. and
Co E, Hibernian Rifles, are making
great efforts to secure for Waterbury the
state parade of the order which is TO be
held next summer, and it is believed
that they will be successful. Water
bury is certainly entitled to the honor,
and if the pageant is held here, the Wis
itors will be royalty entertained. With
in Waterbury than there are in any
other city of the state. At the parade
held in New Haven in 1875 the First
division turned out 1853 men. To the
Hartford parade in 1885 the two local
divisions sent 293 men. In 1887 state
parade was held in New Haven and Wa
terbury sent 413 men from three divis-
ions. At the last parade, in Hartford
last year, the four Waterbury divisions
were represented by 493 men.
