MILITARY AND CIVIL. I 79 
     
    
   
   
    
     through the principal streets. It was headed by the Chief 
     
     Marshal, A. N. Large, mounted on a white charger, followed 
     
     by the Police and a band of music. Then came the Military 
     
     Corps, followed by the Sons of Temperance, the Loyal Orange 
     
     Association, the Odd Fellows, the Caledonia Club, with their 
     
     bagpipes, and the Free Masons, also headed by a band of 
     
     music. The various Industrial Trades~—twelve in number—— 
     
     formed the rear of the procession, came in for the lion share of 
     
     admiration. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Its line of march lay along various streeis till at length at the 
     
     intersection of Queen and Kent Streets it halted to witness the 
     
     laying of the corner stone of the new City Building by the Hon. 
     
     John Yeo, Grand Master, and the Brotherhood of the fraternity 
     
     of Free and Accepted Masons, which in the name and by the 
     
     favor of the glorious Architect of heaven and earth, was this day 
     
     accomplished. The close of this ceremony brought the demon- 
     
     stration to a successful issue. The various trades and societies 
     
     under their special marshal, departed for their own private 
     
     rendezvous. And thus the celebration of the fiftieth year of 
     
     Her Majesty’s reign terminated. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Charlottetown has hitherto depended on limited sources 
     
     within its own borders for its water supply, but it becoming 
     
     desirable to have a system of water works introduced into the 
     
     city, three water commissioners were accordingly elected, viz: 
     
     the Hon. David Laird, Chairman, Alex. McKinnon and John 
     
     Kelly, Esquires. The establishment of a system of water 
     
     works had for some time agitated the public mind—but now 
     
     in accordance with the judicious measures of the commissioners, 
     
     the work of the construction was begun and thoroughly 
     
     completed by November 1888 ; the source of supply being the 
     
     Three—Mile Brook, on the Malpeque Road, where the pumping 
     
     station is placed. The reservoir has an excavation of ten feet, 
     
     paved with freestone and will contain upwards of three million 
     
     gallons of water. The pipe line from the pumping station to 
     
     the reservoir, Mount Edward, thence to the city, is complete 
     
     with a 14 inch pipe. The pipes laid throughout the city are of 
     
     three difl'erent sizes—6, 8 and to inches in diameter. The 
     
     pipes were manufactured in Glasgow, Scotland, but the hydrants 
     
     and gates were supplied by the Galvin Manufacturing Company
