TT orientals, the Diamonds OF the East" as
they are described on their own beautiful green
and gold banner, went to College Point yostor-
day for tho twenty.sovcnth time in twcnty.sevon

There were not enough vacancies, caused by
the absence of these time-servers. to abbreviate
the grand march about tho upper deck Of tho
barge, which was started opposite Ffty-ninth
street. Some Of the few vacancies were filled by
persons whose presence was a great source of
