ahandsomely-decorated fire engine, and
the other hoSe-cart. The men were out
in full force and presented fine appear
ance.
Next came the Business Mems Club.

and was well received, as 1t presented a
splendid appearance. There were about
ninety of them, each wearing a white
'stove-pipe" and carrying a vari-colored
umbrellas on top of which was torch.

SECOND DIVISION.
The second division came next, under
command of w. B. Maydwell. The Hus-
sar Band came first, and then the Colum-
bia Club, in their handsome uniforms.
Their marching was particularly ad-
mired.
The G.. 4. r. drum and fife corps fol-
lawed, and after them came the hand
somely dressed Resolutes with their
1ambeau torches and splendid marching.
The Capital City Wheelmen, mounted
on their bicycles, who give big blow
out at Agricultural Park to-day, brought
up the rear of the parade. TEey carried
Chinese lanterns on their wheels and pre-
sented a good appearance. The riders
were considerably annoyed, though, by

them and threw sticks and stones. Had
the police been attending to their busi-
ness, particularly on street, there
would have been no such trouble.
