From its usual Sunday quietude ALLIE
gheny was awakened last night by the
advent of spring. Federal street, from the
river to Ohio street. was one mass of
humanity, and much of the mass was
very pretty, so much SO that
it would bear second glance Dressed in
the gay clothes of spring Allegheny young
folks whiled away the time promenading.
Ali evening a steady stream Of people
poured down Federal street and across the
bridge. The parties going over to Allie

AS the evening grew older the
crowd diminished some. but far
into the night little parties of two could be
seen slowly promenading across the bridges
or stopping to bend over the railing to lis

The Allegheny parks held their spring
opening last night and the attendance was
large. Gay pleasure seekers could be seen
going in every direction and all the seats in
the quiet hooks were occupied.
