THE FIREMEN'S PARADE. The Philadelphia Fire Department and the Companies front Abroad. BRILLIANT DISPLAY RECEPTION AND APPEARANCE OF VISIT ING FIRE]'JEW. THE APPARATUS OF THE DIFFERENT COAIPANIES Presentations of Proms, Flags, and Wreaths THE ROUTE AND THE OFFICERS SCENES AND INCIDENTS Philadelphia throw off its plain garb yesterday, and donned its " new equipments." The reserved expression of its countenance changed to the genial smile, while the usual sober voice was heard only in the moat gladsome tones. The long-talked of, the, anxiously-expected, the great parade of the Philadelphia Fire Department is over, and Mon day, October Lth, 1867, belongs to history. Per months past, the grand occurrence of yesterday was the all.absorbing and exciting theme of con versation in different circles. Around the fetidly hearthstone,' on the streets, at the theatres, and in the houses of the fire companies, this topic, day andnight, was of all others the most interesting and the mostly warmly discussed. We remember how, weeks erne, with what delight the firemen spoke Of their approaching" jubilee*, and thought of scarcely anything else than their new coats, capes, and hats, and the improvements and repairs to their treasured "machines." We at tended their conventions, where the admirable arrangements of the parade were perfected, and have soon as much interest taken in the pro ceedings, as if a candidate for , the Presidency of the United States was to be nominated, or some momentous event, on which hung the destiny of the Republic, was about be Onnsummated. The firemen were enthusiastic on the subject of their demonstration, each company tieing with the other to render the most brilliant display,-and the result of all this commendable rivalry has been the largest, best, and most attractive procession of noble-hearted firemen ever witnessed' to this or any other State of the Union. At an early hour in the morning firemen were seen repairing to their differ ent houses, while wreaths, bouquets, silver fire horns, and the numerous et, cisterns which consti tute the great adornments of all parades of this description, were carried about in great profusion. There were groat preparations in progress during Saturday to have everything prepared, and to fulfil to the letter the requirements of the programnie. Every painter and gilder In the oity, who had any claims to skill, was busy iu imparting the finishing touches to the numerous apparatus which appeared yesterday in now attire. Engines and hose trucks, spidere, and ail the paraphernalia appertaining to them, were being whisked about the streets, to ward evening, on the way to their respective places of deposit. Visiting companies from a distance were arriv ing, and being , received and welcomed. Men in flannel shirts, and pantaloons stuck down into their boots, were shaking hands with other men whose bran new equipments and neat bandbox ap pearance indicated that they were guests, who had donned their best apparel in honor of their enter tainers. Around every engine-house were collect ed groups of admiring urchins and shrewd hobble.: dehoys, peeping through the crevices Of the doors to catch a glimpse of the 'newly furnished ma chines, and eyeing with mute admiration thdir sable custodians, much as a beggar would eye the keeper of the crown jewels of - England. or as the denizens of St Giles might be supposed to look upon a millionaire. The weather yesterday was all that Gould be de sired. Rarely have we seen such a bright autum nal day. No untoward event occurred to mar the celebration, and an opportunity was, thus afforded to view the most imposing procession of its kind ever gotten up in the United States. It was at least three miles in - length, and passed over a route of eight miles in length.. No less than ten new engines and hose trucks appeared in line. With regard to horns and banners, and other accoutre ments, there never was Buda a brilliant display. Some of the companies provided horns of massive silver mounted with fine gold, and banners upon which very considerable sums of money leave been expended—sash banners as have not boon seen sines the memorable ones upon the Field of the Cloth of Gold. One of them, the Good Intent Engine Company, has boon presented with a banner of Genoa velvet, upon which an elaborate design lies been moan. wined laminate rosy seashells, With mssehi ( if bul lion and a pole of rosewood. This affair, we are awed, was purchased at is cost pErporetisonithMo hundred dollars. The Good SS ill Cioniliany has' also possessed itself of an article equally costly, and neatly all the companies displayed similar. eiitraVaganoles. Niagara Engine Compiply bad a canine member, by name Rolla. 'Rolla is a Phila delphia ,and can do anything but speak. Re attended the company on the parade, wearing a bran new silver collar and a profusion of artifi cial flowers. Thus adorned4Rolta took his °ono ' nary position, with the engine rope in his mouth, at the head of the company. In the way of silver horns, there never was such an *mamma. One was presented yesterday morning to Jno. F. Gibson, the marshal of the parade. Two of the companies have come into possession of two others through a gift book store, which offered them as premiums. In fact, there are few companies now in the city who cannot boast of massive silver horns, worth from ono to four hundred dollars, Many of them are now kept in such beautiful order, and are so beautiful in themselves, that a rustic person who had never seen one, would imagine it anything else than an article whose sphere of action is among burning walls and clouds of dust and ashes.
