relies. Mr. Jcwctt, of the Boston Ilenild, and Mr. Smith, a U'adnii>- nuMnlx'r of the 

 Master Teamsters' Association, who now became directors, had contributed very 

 mucli to tlie success of the first i)arade by tlieir intelligent and eneigetic assistance. 

 Tile otlier new director. Dr. John W. Bartol, is a practicing })hysician, and a mem-

The second parade, held May 30, 1904, was substantially a du})lication of the 

 first, except that the number of prizes was increased, and that some new classes WTre 

 added. The most important of these was the Class for Old Horses, open to all 

 horses that were in active service at the time of the entry and had been owned and 

 used by the person making the entry, or by his predecessor in business, for not 

 less than ten years prior to the entr3\ 



This class proved to be the most interesting feature of the parade. Thirty-two 

 veterans, all in good condition, appeared to contest for the prizes, and their sleek 

 coats, fearless eyes and alei-t ears were an object lesson in the treatment of horse- 

 flesh, showing what good care and kind usage will do to })rolong the life and pre- 

 serve the strength of the animal. 



The prizes and their generous donors were as follows : 



1st Prize, a gold medal of the value of $20.00, offered by the Massachusetts 

 Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, through G. T. Angell, Esq. 



2d Prize, $10.00, offered b}^ the Animal Rescue League. 



3d Prize, $5,00, offered by Mr. W. 1). Quimby. 



4th Prize, $4.00, offered by the Rev. Reuben Kidner. 



In addition, fourteen highly commended certificates, with prizes of one dollar 

 each, were offered by the Association. The winners of the four prizes were as 

 follows: 1st, The Boston Elevated Railway Co.'s "Chubb"; 2d, the J. T. Tighe 

 Co.'s "Charlie"; 3d, Mr. X. M. Appley's "Billy"; 4th, Fifield, Richardson & 

 Co's " Tom." 



Tlie other new class was for Veteran Drivers, a silver medal being offered by 

 the American Humane Education Society for that driver in the parade who had 

 been the longest time in the service of his present employer, or of the employer's 

 predecessor in business. The medal was Avon by Mr. P. Carney, an employee of 

 the Metropolitan Coal Company, and its predecessor, for 39 jx-ars. The chestnut 

 horse driven by ]\Ir. Carne}^ also took a blue ribbon : and both man and horse may 

 still be seen working daily in the streets of Boston. Other veterans not far behind 

 Mr. Carney were John Carroll, an emploj^ec of the City of Newton for 37 years ; 

 Timothy Foley, another employee of the Metropolitan Coal Com[)any, with a service
