tlnued until late IN the afternoon. An
immense gathering was in attendance.
The principal feature Of the demon
stration was the mammoth parade, which
took place in the morning. 1t was de-
cided success. About 5000 Sunday
school people participated. All the
schools expected to turn out did so with
the exception of BrandywIne, Madeley,
Harrison Street and Eastlake M. L.
and Central Presbyterian. Second
Baptist Sunday-school was represented
only by its primary department and it
rodeon float. The procession moved
promptly at 10 o'clock, in response to
cannon signal. The children marched
well and, despite the sultry weather,
enjoyed the march. All the schools pre-
sented an attractive appearance. West
had the largest attendance. Union was
next in numerical strength and st.
Paups and Kingswood had the next
largest turnout. Half an hour was
required for the parade to
pass given point and about an
hour and half was required for it to
cover the entire route. The streets
through which the pageant passed were
thronged with enthusiastic spectators
and many dwellings and business places
along the route were handsomely deco
rated. The route was down Eleventh
street from jefferson to Market, along
Market to Fourth, countermarch to
Eleventh, out Eleventh to Delaware
avenue, and thence to Rodney street, to
Brandywine park. Grace Sunday-school,
owing to the heat, did no. come down
town. 1t waited in front of the resi-.
dence of Job H. Jackson until the end
of the line came along, when it fell in.

the other schools as they passed by. The
