THE SuNDAY-SCHOOL PARADE.


Jubilee Day Pleasantly Observed by the
Evangelical Sunday-sUhools of Whining
ton-The Parade Large and Attractive.
The second annual parade and picnic
of the evangelical Suuday-schools OF
this city was complete success, Jubi-
lee Day this year was observed with
considerable enthusiasm and in several
respects exceeded last years observance.
The day has been set apart for the pur-
pose of unifying Sunday school workers
and making them better acquainted
with each other. A more favorable
day, at this time of the year, could not
have been had. This probably is the
last Jubilee Day in summer time. In
the future it will in all probability. be
during the early part of May.
The parade was most creditable
demonstration. II formedon Eleventh
street, the right resting on Market. Two
shots fired from cannon stationed at
the intersection of Eleventh street and
Delaware avenue were Tip signal to
march. The procession began to move
ut 0.33 o'clock. Forty-thiee minutes
were required for it to piss given
point. Few of the Sunday.sbhools were
represented by anything like their full
strength. Still the turnout was encour-
aging. 1t is estimated that there were
1000 persons in the procession.
The presidents of several industrial
establishments and others holding high
positions in business participated. The
children were dressed well and marched
well. A gentle breeze tempered the
atmosphere sufficiently to make march,
Ing pleasant All the schools had hand
some banners, Hanover, the oldest
Sunday-sclool had the right ct line. 1t
was intended to have the schools march
according to their age and thisintention
was carried out with few exceptions.
Kingswood was entitled to the posi-
ton which Covenant school had and
Goodman and Swedish Baptist were ex-
pected to precede Harrison street school.

Protestant, MI. Lebanon and Brandy
wine schools did not parade. Twenty
nine organizations were in line.
The route of parade was us follows :
Along Market street from Eleventh
to Tenth, thence to King, to Eleventh,

street from Market to Delaware avenue,
and proceed thence to Rodney street, to
