Iombardg, Lombardy 81 Broad and out t.
the Exposition Grounds. The Mayor. by
special invitation. reviewed the parade from
tho Council Chamber. With him were sey-
eral other city officials.
Reaching the Exposition grounds the fun
began. Tho crowd Of paraders was aug
mented by perfect concourse of the gentler
sex, and IL was not long before tho
strains Of Wantenfel told those on the
outside that dancing WAS being done in
the old music hall. Mr.. John Baselon,
with complement OF excellent musicians,
made merry the air and the floor was alive
with couples wooing the Terpschore. The
sight from the galleries above was gay and
interesting one, and many who did not
dance. accepted this opportunity and looked
down upon the merry feet
MIDDAY LUNCH.
In other parts OF the hall many proceeded
70 make o midday lunch. while others strayed
further away and listened with great
enjoyment TO a concert by the Hampt0nlfes
This band made excellent music. and was
highly admired and complimented as they
passed through the streets. Another portion
Of the 1900 people found shady hooks in the
grounds. and there many n couple talked Of
love IN the same Old way. and many man
recalled "reminiscences OF earlier DAYS of de-
priyation and struggle which have since re-
ceiyed the laurel wreath Of self-denial.
Still others found their way to the
restaurant ana ate sandwiches while
others studied out the principle of
foam on liquid. Each went 10 the division
that suited him best and in q quiet orderly,
good-humored way the day passed away OF
course. there were tho usual heated discus
slons about something that needed no discus
sion. and in one or more instances the dlspu-
tants showed combat. but the matters We're
always amicably settled and no one lost blood
or apparel by the ARRAY.
THE BALL GAME.
The event of the day was the baseball
game between the Brooklands and the Elbas
which began at o'clock. and was witnessed
by fully IA thousand Interested spectators.
llatorf did splendidly striking out eight
men IN six innings, and he was well supported
by Thomas. Luck. with anew pair of trousers.
Ofiiciated as catcher for the Brooklands and
Deane sent in splendid curves as pitcher
The game was an interesting one full of
splendid plays. and the spectators applauded
and yelled with vim. The only trouble was
about the umpires. One individual yOlun-
teered lis services az the commensurate of the
game but for some ineXplicable reason failed
10 give satisfaction He was kicked at with q
vim that would have done credit 10 the Uni
yersity team. and finally resigned his position
because the inheders seemed 10 know more
about black" balls than he did.
The successor for umpire honors unfortu-
nately failed 10 please. He was disputed
with, yelled at. and made TO feel uncomiort-
able on several occasions, and after the fifth
inning had been played the teams decided
that baseball was enjoyment for others and
poor fun for them. and the Brooklands played
a half of inning and the game came 10 a close

game. which was thoroughly good one was
played:
