was to be a general celebration partici-
pated in by all the societies in the city.
There would be ilag raisings on some

schools not now having flags receive
them from orders anxious to make such
donations. There are a number of
schools that have no flags.

tion in the afternoon DR., Morgan stated
that the object was TO make the parade

decided upon by the various lodges or.
committees appointed by the lodges. He
suggested suclt displays upon floats as
the landing of the Swedes, Penn's
Treaty, or anything relating To histori-
cal events, The diversions Of the pa
rade would be made up of the different
societies, headed by their own chief
L.. ptF IL r.
fercnt orders.

of Trade had taken much interest in the
celebration aud had signitied their in.
tentions IF aiding in the demonstration.

the largest industrial and civic demon
stration ever witnessed in this city. II

men will be in line.
