some giant lire crackers would put a
blast in as soon as a hole was drilled.
These were followed by two floats re.
presenting the rising generation Of
GraniteviDle one filled with little girls
dressed in white and the other with
boys.
The Transatlantic band followed
leading the floats Of Barre, the princi-
pie ones being that Of the New Eng
land Order of Protection followed
closely by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union: These two floats
we're handsome, both done entirely 10
white and must have taxed the ability
Of the judges to decide which should
have the second prize. The tiremen
had a float which would have received
a prize il they were competing foI
one, but as they were not, the salts
faction of knowing that it was well
liked must be gratifying to them.
The members under the leadership of
W. Carpenter. fell in behindand look
ed fine, the new green suits of the
Hooks making a splendid contrast
with the blue.
Then followed the Corinth Drum
Corps, with other portions of. the pa.
rade between them and the Randolph
band. The latter was the. head of
that portion Of the show which caused
laughter all along the line, and the
three which took the prizes gave gen.
eral satisfaction.
These we're the Horribles and the
excellent manner in which the differ
ent topics of the day were criticised,
showed a great deal of thought and
labor by the promoters.
The principal ones were "The City
Fathers" a laughable representation
of our aldermen and mayor at one of
their social sittings. This vas very
laughable and excellently gotten up,
the different aldermen being represen-
ted true to life. Not only this but
the reporters representing both dailies
were also there. The second prize was
awarded to the meat industry, viz,
the butcher business, that part where
in the sausage business is predomi-
mated. This was a take off on our
meat men and wal extremely well pro-
duced. A sausage machine through
which rats, old crows, cats, and every
thing else which goes to make up a
nice dainty food for the breakfast ia
BILE being brought out at the other
end of the machine, in the shape of
links.
The third prize was given to the
city liquor agency float representing
the high cost of corks and showing
the evil effects of the agency when
not used in the right way.
The other good things were the
Barre & Montpelier electric road, the
hose cart, the city water works, rough
roads, real estate, and many others.
The parade being ended by an excel
lent take off IN the city attorney,
which was very laughable.

Immediately after the parade the
hose rae took place on Maple Ave-,
and was a hotly contested one there
being only a quarter Of a second be-
tween the teams.
Tiger Hose Company won in AN
seconds with the H. s. L., and No. /
Company End in 424 seconds. The boys
ran we'll and are very anxious to come
together again both teams vowing
that they could make it in better time
than they did. q
Messrs Fayette Cutler and Harry
w. Whitcomb were the judges.
At IL 80 "Bonette'' made one of
the mestsensational balloon ascensions
ever seen in this part Of the state.
The wind was blowing very strongly
and. it seemed as If he would be I'M
athletic ascend but he knowing the
kind documents which would be heap
ed on his head iflhe did not 60, made
the ascension and made it successful
ly. This was one of the best part Of
the days proceedings.
Time enough was allowed for din
ner but at one O'Clock the games and
