The Coaching Parade OF the Cambridge
Fair

The Coaching Parade has come to be
one Of the essential features of the Cam
bridge Fair. For enchanting beauty,
novelty of design and variety of decora-
tions it surpasses any parade ever seen
in New York. Every beholder is capti-
waited by its bewildering maze of flowers,
grains, fruits and grasses, bunting, ban
ners and streamers that serve as decora-
tions for the many horses, wagons,
carriages, carts, bicycles, riders and
drivers. Last year the immense throng
of people went wild with delight as the
magnificent pageant moved slowly
around the race track in full view of all.
Ladies waved theii handkerchiefs, men
swung their hats, as with round after
round of applause they greeted the
passing panorama.
1t is confidently expected that the pa
rade this year will eclipse all former ones
at Cambridge, for larger prizes are offer
ed, including those for Business Mems
Parade, and it is open to every one. No
two years are alike. Variety, change,
improvement are the watch-words of
those who participate. No one tires OF
viewing the parade, and no one should
miss seeing it on Friday afternoon, Sept,
7th, at the Cambridge Fair Grounds.
Last years parade was thus described
by a correspondent of the Troy Budget:
"On Friday took place the prettiest
feature of the entire week. 1t was the
Coaching Parade, as it was called, al
though it seemed to the Budget reporter
that it might more properly have been
called panorama of beauty, for it was
extremely handsome and easily eclipsed
anything that has been attempted in
these parts in many days. First came
three pretty young ladies mounted on
prancing steeds, and they were followed
by young ladies and gentlemen on pref
thy decorated bicycles and little children
on tricycles trimmed in Fantastic style.
1t was indeed a pretty sight and the vast
concourse of people shouted ard cheered
them as they passed. Following the
bicycles came many coaches and vehicles
of pretty and amusing design, all trim
med in the most elaborate manner
There were floats bearing handsome
young ladies dressed n pretty garments
with trumpets and harps heralding the

AnOId Rranonic Document.

AS we write there lies before us a parch-
ment, yellow with age, that is treasured
by Franklin Blackmer, Esq, of Benning-
ton Centre, it being the certificate of
membership of his grandfather, Saxton
Squire, in Temple Lodge of Masons,
the earliest organization of that Frater-
nifty in Bennington. The border of this
Diploma, as it would now be called, is
illuminated with the symbolism of Free
masonry, as follows: The base is the
''Indented Floor of the LODGE" the
sides are the two pillars of the Fellow
Craft, and the top is a kind of an arch,
resembling two elongated figure SIS. In
the centre of the floor referred to is the
altar, on the top of which is a dial point
ing to II o'clock. Under the arch is a
flying figure of "the Genius of Mason
ry," after the celebrated painting of 1884,
in the Masonic Hall, London, England
On each side of the altar are displayed
the working Tools" the pattern being
more like the German Operative Work
ing Tools than those of modern Specula-
tive use. Evidently the parchment
blank was imported. The inscription of
the arch reads as follows:
Him that oyercometh will make a Pillar in
the Temple; He shall save the Children of the
needy. and shall break in pieces the oppressor
unto the upright, Light arseth in darkness, and
the Darkness comprehendeth 1t not" tb
''In the EAST reign LIGHT, SILENCE
and PEACE"
The certificate is in the usual archaic
form:
"We the Master and Wardens of a
Lodge, Constituted by legal Authority,
holden at Bennington, in the State of
Vermont, do certify all Eastern Travel
lers that this our trusty and we'll beloved

Consul Jingle Says There Is Good Market

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Consul g.
W. S. Jingle, of Brunswick, Germany.
has sent to the state department a san
gulne report upon the field presented
for expectation Of Americans made fur.
nlture to Germany. He represents that
the Germans are very unskilled in the
manufacture Of furniture, despite the
fact that they are in general intensely
practical, and excel in many forms Of
handicraft. Two reasons exist for this
deficiency, the scarcity Of wood in Ger
many, and the fact that Germans have
not accustomed themselves to as many
articles Of furniture as are used in
America. Be the reason whatever it
may, the consul writes, there is no good
furniture in Germany, and he thinks
there is an excellent field for the extern
sion of trade in the American product.

L Reported. . .@
LONDON, Sept. 10. AZ dispatch re-
: ceived here from Ping Yang, Korea,
says that every hour adds to the crush
ing character Of the Chinese defeat. Tt
is added that the first estimates were
slightly under the actual facts and the
total of the Chinese losses during the
two days battle is now said to be over
1900 men, killed, wounded and pris-
oners. The japanese cavalry is contin-
ulng the pursuit of the Chinese who
succeeded in escaping, and detachments
OF troopers continue bringing in squads
Of captured Chinese. "' .
The Chinese prisoners who were not
wounded were paraded in circle of
Japanese troops and it was seen that
they numbered ID, 500. It is probable,
however, that this number will be in
creased within the next few days by the
prisoners who are being constantly
brought in by the Japanese cavalry.
Many Of the Chinese captured were
found hiding in the quiet portions of
the city. f.
Over Two Thousand Killed.
1t is now stated that the total num-
Der of killed will not exceed $500.
The remainder Of the Chinese army,
some 10000 men, are either wounded
and in the hands Of the japanese, or are
unhurt prisoners of war.
The emperor of Japan has telegraphed
congratulating the field marshal upon
the victory he has achieved over the
enemy. The field marshal has
issued an order in which he commends
the troops for their action.
The dispatch says the Chinese out
numbered the Japanese three to one.
The artillery was vastly superior to that
OF the Chinese. The Japanese flying
column is now pushing northward for
the purpose Of securing the passes and
thus preventing the Chinese army from
marching within Korea.
