( those who devote themselves assiduous-
~ to working up an appetite in the open
air for the feast of the evening shadows.
The skies were fecked with little
clouds, the air was bracing. and there
was enough crispness to the tempera-
ture to make the potheosis Of the noble
turkey complete.
The great metropolis arose lazily. 1t
INDUCED in the regulation late nap be-
fore arising for breakfast, and
those who must labor to provide the in
gradients of the Thanksgiving dinner
for the million. who deliver the early
post, who leave the family supply of
milk, who prepare the family newspaper,
who run the IT, trains and the street
cars, had few companions on the streets
when they moved to their several sta
| lions of employment.
Downtown was as dead as the conven-
! tional door nail The walls of the tall
granite piles where the broker, the mer-
live gave back resounding echoes Of the
| football of the stray pedestrian as he
trod the hasstone sidewalks of that por-
place of the round million of people who
throng the market on busy days.
The exchanges, the Federal. state and
nothng was dong, The Stars, and
foated lazily on the city Hall. the caste
Office Custom House. sub-Treasury,
Army and Navy Building, the banks,
and the symbols of a holiday were
everyN here
\ little later the streets were the scene
of the parade of forty target companies,
| rangers. sChuetZen corps and other organ
! izations of light-hearted men who made
themselves fantastic by masquerades of
| all sorts.
The saloons, the restaurants and the
confectionery stores were the only places
of business open, and they seemed to be
doing not only their own regular bust,
nesS. but taking in the money that would
ordinarily be distributed among the deal
ers in more substantial things. .
Broadway was, the parade ground OF
in topcoats and young women in holt
day attire. waving the blue of Yale or
the orange and black of Princeton at
People OF religious inclination found
a vent for their thanksgiving spirit at
the churches. for there were special SER
vice in nearly all of them.
Sunett's festival cantatta was sung by
the choir and congregation of Rev. DR..
Henry A. Stinson's Broadway Taberna-
some object lessons in American politics
at Calvary Baptist Church, and after
the service mountain of fruits and
vegetables that had rested on the plat
to the poor. Rev. Stephen s. Wise de-
livered a Thanksgiving sermon at the the
Jewish Temple to the Gongre snsaia1
services in nearly all the other churches
and synagogues of the city.
Perhaps the most interesting Of the
church services to-day Is that of ire
congregation OF the Brick Church and
the Church of the Covenant, For years
they have united in the Thanksgiving
service. To-day they met at the Brick
Church, Fifth avenue and Thirty-seventh
, street, and the meeting was of peculiar
. significance, as the Church OF the Cow
enant is going out of existence to merge
: with the Brick Church forever;
Or. Van Dyke of the Brick Church
and Rev. ]. H; McIlvaine.. of the Cove
nant. appeared together in the pulpit
the former conducting the services, the
: other delivering the sermon. 1t was in
the old Brick Church which stood on the
streets and Park Row that were held
; the Thanksgiving services ordered by
5 the authorities of New York In l7S3 after
, the British soldiers had evacuated the
city.
