racing drew an immense crowd to the
race track, and several good races were
witnessed. Orlie Dickerson-son of VIM.
Dickerson-was by far the largest winner,
aud his horses appear to have out classed
the other entries.
At2 p. NJ. the parade started over the
route outlined headed by the Georgetown
band. The second section was led by
the Milford band, and everybody was
pleased with the display. Hon. J. S.
Willis delivered the Grafton before large

patriotic sentences received marked APP

every day affairs OF life
In the evening the stereoptican exhi-
bition under charge Of Professor Bilder-
back, was interesting and entertaining to
the grown people; but to the boys and
girls a score of rockets, a hundred roman
candles and a blaze of red would have
more fittingly clused the day according to
their ideas. The streets of Milford were
a paudemonium of tirecrackers, chasers
and other contrivances to make noise,
and several accidents resulted. A child
was burned in the face by a cannon
cracker, and several ladies had dresses
daddy burned from the same cause. Town
Council had instructed the police to ex-
ercise the greatest leniency i'll the fire.

In the great multitude there we're few
who had befuddled themselves with beer,
or whiskey, but there was no street brawl
during the day. The only affairs of this
character was between two drunken negro
women from Harrington, who had a scrap
at the depot about I a. IN. on Sunday

At Bowers Beach a great crowd assem-
bled, and so great was the tax upon the
feeding capacity of the hotel table that
the larder was exhausted. So many never
were known to eat supper there before on
the Fourth. On Sunday following fifty

Many from Slaughter aud Prime Hook

WANAMAKER CLOTHING

Somewhere between 100000 and
SIz5, 900 Summer Clothing selling at a
clear loss of One-fourth all round
Just as if we'd never have another
summer to sell clothes.
We shan't be believed until you see the goods.
Not halfdozen times in all our years that
sold without getting somehow. Can't this
time; aren't trying: we're losing on black suits,
gray suits, thin clothes-every sort except Thibets
and serge.
We sell Thbets at SIS and they cost it.
We sell Serqes at $3.50 to $I8: if we asked
$40 to S25, we'd please the stores and waste our
advertising.
The rest of the stock like this:
Black wOrsted and crepe, $40 suits for $3.50.
Black wOrsted fine diagonal, $40 suits for $lO
Coat and vest fine as in $50 SUITS for $40.
HOmespuns- have been $I2 for $3.50.
Boys clothes same way,S3 suits for S2.25: $40
for $6.75.
Same sort of clothes we always sell better made
this year, perhaps-no, certainly; everything the
same except this plunge in prices.
Explanations don't explain the times are bad
the clothes are good the prices are broken-broken
on all our summer clothes doesn't happen in ten
years.
Harris cassimeres included The best and the
worst of them from our great clearing
mill-buy go down like all the rest-$I5 suit meant
to sell for $I2-now $3.50.
Nobody else in the business doing anything like
we are. We think we're sharp to lose the money
while we can sell the goods. What summer
clothes do you wantP
Pay your carfare, too-on a reasonable purchase.
