THEY ALL PASSED ALONG THE
STREETS YESTERDAY.

The Procession an Hour and Ten Minutes
Passing a Given Point - The Trades
Procession an Interesting and Sur
prising Feature.
The participants, the committee on
procession and the marshals have great
deal to be proud of in the &C mirable
display they succeeded in affording the
citizens and guests from out of town.
The route of procession was very long,
stretching from one end of the city to
the other, and all along the line of
march the streets were blocked with
people and applause was frequent. The
military, who formed the front division,
marched with precision, turned out in
great numbers Especially when it is con-
sidered that many of the members were
parading with other organizations and
looked splendidiy. The variety of uni
forms added greatly to the display. We
noted that the Yarmouth Rifles were a
decided feature of the division. The
second division especially attracted by
its unity. The Pythians in their snowy
uniforms; the Maintopman, in their cool
looking, neat sailor rig, some of them
carrying oars, the Columbian
Guards, in their white trousers, red coats
also marching like veterans; and the
Veteran Firemen, who were as active as
the younger firemen were.
Proceeding the Veteran Firemen was
the barge Argonaut, bearing President
Fl. Fox, Messrs. W. Hennessey, T. F..
Chas. Warwick, D. GlasieI, D. Goodhue,
D. G. Drinkwater, T. Conner, B. L..

ster, G. 81. Jewell, G. H. Owen. Nahum
Murch, d. II. Rich, NJ. Roberts. The
barge was decorated with flags and
drawn by four fine horses. 1t carried a
tattered ensign with a history. That flag
was borne by SERGEANT Rowe in Col. Wa
ter's New Hampshire regiment during
the Revolutionary War, and was brought
from France to Boston by Capt. Nc
Lellan.
In the third division the Longshore-
men made fine display of a large body
of athletic men. They bore boat with
large banner, for sail inscribed on one
side P. L. B. S., with a picture of YES
sci underneath, ana the motto, limited
We Stand Divided We FALL" On the
other side, 'Benevolence Our Motto"
P. L. B. S. ''We Comfort Our Afflicted,
We Honor Our Dead"
The Fire Department was promi-
nent feature of the affair. The men
looked as neat as pin, and the steam
ers and carriages were beautifully
dressed with flowers and plants, while
the brass-work shone like gold. Machi-
gonne, in addition TO her wealth Of floral
adornment, had the two pretty little
Misses Lombard sitting under large
red, white and blue parasol suspended
by rod over their heads as they sat on
the front of the steamer behind the
driver.
The bicycle clubs wheeled ahead of
the procession. They made strong
&,,,,,n,,+ b,,+ thor, -,oJa n ,,ooa +bn% -.,o /,
too much for footmen.
The bands added much by their spirit
ed music. Everyone of them played adj
mirably, and the uniforms were very
rich in several cases. That of Tony
Clark's Juvenile band with its red coats,
white breaches and white leggings drew
universal attention. The drum-major of
Chandler's band was dandy.
The procession was hour and ten
minutes passing given point. 1t
started nearly on time, at 10 o'clock. The
following was the formation of the pro-
cession:
