favor, was a very unique thing and took
first prize, the second prize being award
ed to the reproduction of the station, and
the third was given, and very properly,
to the bright fellow who designed the
/ take off on the lookup. Mr.. Davis, al
ready referred to, was given special men
tion, and s"Glenwood'' was honored the
same way. "tThe bicyclist of 1901, . two
bicycles in tandem, drawing q small car.
Tiage filled with children, was also given
special mention. John P. Graham was
marshal, and seldom has chief of pa
rade of fantasies marshalled more or
brighter designs. 1t was one of the best
| features of the day, and there was general
regret that it could not have been re-
served to later hour when more people
would have seen it.
The parade, the great feature of the
day started in little late, but good
thing is worth waiting for, and the
crowd was patient From Portland came
the representatives of the Veteran Fire
men, and many were the expressions of
regret that all the veterans headed by
their unique band had not concluded to
help out the Westbrook celebration. The
few who did go out were received by
Chief Leighton, and were assigned an
honorable place in the parade. Captain
Mallett was in charge of the veterans, and
owed his position to the free choice Of his
associates in the ranks.
Forward said Chief Marshal Murch,
and his aids. Lemuel Lane and W. e.
Aver, carried the order along the line.
The parade formed at a point that made
the store of Kimball Eastman good re-
viewing stand, and there was crowd

First of all rode the members of
THE BICYCLE CLUB,
and they mustered strong and we'll. In
fact it is due to them to say that they
made better appearance than any other
section of the parade, a fact due perhaps
/ to the presence of so many ladies in line.
Among the lady riders were Miss Benice
knights, Miss Susie Hooper, Miss Ger
trude Black, Miss Lillian Beatty, Miss
Susie Partridge, Miss Goodall, Miss Maud
Pride, Mrs. Elwell, Mrs. Knights, Mrs.
Moody, Mrs. Graffam, Miss Jennie
Quimby, and Miss Lillian Smith.
The ladies all rode finely, but perhaps
it will do no harm to remind the young
fellows that advance sheets of the latest
revision of thegscripture contains the fol-
lowing marginal reading, "Man was
made to ride upright. - They didn't do
it by any means

The Red Men had boat and a full

very quiet, restrained perhaps by the self
evident fact that the white men were in
the great majority. James Fisk oom-
