The Second Division
After the Hat Makers Protective
Union had passed, the second division,
commanded by Marshal Lies and head
ed by some of the special police from
Bricklayers' Union No. A, came up.
If allusion has been spared to the
bands Of music it must not be I'M
agined that there were none. From
first to last the parade was amply pro-
vided with them, and every player in
every band was an independent labor
party by himself. Marching On to
| Victory" was inscribed upon a huge
banner at the head of the second di
vision, and behind it came the Up
holsterers' Union of New York and
vicinity and the German Painters
Union. The latter paraphrased our
forefathers' declaration on one of it's
banners which declared that "all men
were created alike, and equal"
The Journeymen Printers Union
came next, with the motto that no man
could make land and, therefore, no
man should own it.
The Third Division
The bricklayers led off the third divi-
sion, which was commanded by Mar
shall McGrath. There surely could not
have been many bricks laid in the city
yesterday Judging from the humber of
layers in the parade. Possibly the
nature of the printed order calling
them out had something to do with
their heavy Representations. 1t read:
"All members not reporting on Tues
day at eight A. M. will be fined $4."
In their ranks were two wagons each
containing arches of brick. One of
their banners read:
Eight Hours for Work
Eight Hours for Rest
Eight Hours for Recreation
1t was altogether one of the most
orderly of parades. The reporter saw
only one of the paraders under the evil
influence, and he was trying to get on
the reviewing stand for the purpose
of making a speech. Of course so large
turnout necessitated the closing OF
some business establishments, but the
} whose employers desired them to work
to do so.
At Elm Park
When the paraders had scattered
through the picnic grounds, when the
throng that had come to attend the
. festival had reached them, and wher
the ceremonies of the day were fairly
inaugurated Elm Park presented {
; rare spectacle. The whole area was
thickly crowded, there was not a bi
of room to spare on the dancing plat

: masses and stood in compact multi
