ably well. It was delightful hour and
half, and without doubt of great profit as
well as enjoyment to scholars and citizens
alike Only one number was omitted, that
being an exercise by Charles johnson,
George Hamilton and Harold Perry of dis
trict No. II, who were prevented by illness
from appearing. The exercise given by
the pupils of the fourth grade, No ,, was
union recitation and that by pupils of the
grammar grade, No. 2, consisted of indi-
vidual Rotations with refrain by the pu-
pills in unison and were very good.
At the close of the program benediction

Inc procession was as interesting an one
as ever passed through our streets. Every
DIVISION carried III us 'front.' Inc banner
bearing the number OF the grade or district
which 1t represented, and all along the line
banners with inscriptions appropriate TO
the day, OF every shape material ana de-
sign and various colors, with nagS ana
pehnahls, maze gay slShI' Eacn class
OF the High school had ITS own banner,
and many III the line were rlch ana hand
some. Especially interesting were the de-
signs carried by the various primary schools
with such legends as "feed street Brig
ade, high street Fatrlots, Chase
street Noluhteers, Cahal street fatrl-

with trl-colored MOP caps Nearly every

Gus applause and cheering greeted them as
they passed along, especially the little fel-
lows at the end OF the line who waved theiI
small flags necessarily and lifted up theil

one OF the most gratifying features of the
whole parade was st. Joseph's parochiaI
school, with all the children wearing the
national colors in their dress in some fash
ion, and they received frequent applause
1t is matter OF regret that more music
could not have been secured, as the schools
were forced to march without even the hell
OF ME and drum to mark the time. One oil
two more drum corps, or another banC
could have been introduced into the line
and have been much appreciated by those
in The rear. 1t is estimated that between
HOO and l2OO school children were in line
The line of march as arranged for was
followed, through Main, Canal, Birge anC
Elliot streets, though many OF the smaller
children were taken across Elm street tC
join the line again on Elliot street and SAVE
so long march. Great credit is due the
teachers OF the schools for the untirns
efforts they had made to make the ar
