1uAASA 1OAn h0TEISfu IASC HIS1tLy "ASAS they had made quite credttable show ing in the state parade. It was the biggest day in the history of the order In Connecticut and demonstrated in no uncertain way that the society is not only holding its own but forging ahead. It is estimated that over r ,O00 persons took part in the parade, and the number of sightseers was so large that even the reporters, who are sup posed to know everything, were baff1ed in their efforts to get line on the crowd, and got out of it by stating that it was almost impossible to give any thing like accurate figures
 Of course there Is considerable dis satisfaction about the distribution of prizes, Captain John +. Calvin of the driM team of the Ladies' auxiliary and others not being able to see why the announcer should have come forward and proclaim Waterbury ahead and give out later that Naugatuck WAS first, New Britain second and Waterbury third. This has caused considerable bad feeling in Waterbury and if the judges ever visit the Brass city they win need a body guard. But 1t Is thought that the trouble caused over this matter will not amount to any thing serions. Nobody should find fault because the Naugatuck women carried off the trophy, silver cup. 1t was the first town in Connecticut to organize a branch of the Ladies' aux f1fary and the fact that they are still abreast of the procession shows that they have not yet grown tired of the work. General Harbison was asked to act as judge alone, but he declined, and perhaps wisely, too. Then F. J. Callahan, battalion adjutant of the First regiment O. N. G., and R. H. Boyee, former member of the Foot Guards, were chosen, and accepted without bestowing a thought upon the fearful responsibility. New Britain was first called, and sixteen ladies re- sponded, under the command of James Bu&ler. Their dresses were of green and white. They were bareheaded and carried halberts Their work was frequently applauded. Then came Wa terbury, under command of Captain Calvin. Twenty weight were in this company, and they carried wooden guns Again the green and white were much in evidence. Waterbury seemed to have a good many friends among the spectators. NaugaEuck came last and there were twenty in this society, under command of Cap tain J. D. Shea. They were dressed in blue and with their military caps looked like the real soldier. Perhaps the judges had seen so much of green that their eyes had become tried and welcomed change.
 Captain Griffin of Company B, Hi bernian Rifles, is receiving bouquets. Ills company put all competitors in the shade, the boys standing first for excellence in the different exercises.
 The prize for the best float went to Manchester and the second to Water bury. This caused afother kick. It was ciaimed for Meriden, but if one could judge by what the crowds had to say 1t should have gone to Waterbury.
