formed an attractive section Of the pa
rade- The Retail Butchers Association
had fifty mounted men in the Line. An
engine from Engine Company No 2. and

corzted with roses. In one. which was
drawn by two Shetland ponies was boy

That the parade and coronation ceremo-
MES went of without delay and without
ths least accident is remarkable. and was
proof that arrangements for both were
carefully planned and systematically exc
cuted by Grand Marshal Ashton and his
efficient corps Of AIDES. Each division

an aide, and IN its long march not a single
unpleasant incident was reported The
streets along the line OF march were very
dusty. and this soon dstracted from the
beauty OF the roses used In decorating the
floats. Had the streets been well sprinkled
the night before. the floats would have
looked all the better for It.
