| it being fitting climax to the preceding
enjoyable days. The chief interest CEN
| tered around the children's parade and

| to see the little creatures marching, each
| with flag given it by the Phil Kearney
| Camp of Sons of Veterans of Pasadena, and
| headed by the drum corps of that camp,
surrounded by veterans as a guard of
honor. 1t was specially pleasing to see the
old grizzled warriors pay Difference to the
little ones, and to see the pleased express
| sion on the children's faces. After march
ing about camp they filed into the big tent.
| Professor Clarke, the ballad singer, rem
dered the Battle Hymn of the Republic !;

Fifth" in capital style, and was followed
by Colonel Blackmoore, who delivered

suited in their being allowed to go this

| AT midnight there was mighty COM
motion which alarmed the entire camp,
and for awhile the stormy scenes of the
sixties were re-enacted. Mayor Garlic
was compelled to call out the entire con-
stabulary force of the town. The trouble
was caused by the State Militia boys, who
are in camp near by, coming over and en-
deavoring to capture Camp Fort Fisher,
which the old veterans resented, and a
pitched battle ensued, Lincoln Circle be-
ing the center of the ARRAY. The old
guard, assisted by the Mayor and Marshal
Dexter and his men, came out victors.
