the van Of small boys the baby carriage brigade
began to arrive. Old mothers and young
mothers, mothers In turbans and mothers with
bare hoads, trundled their offspring down to the

discomfort arose among them when they learned
that the Dock Commissioners barred bicycles.

But tho policemen were obdurate, and the
baby carriage phalanx retired to the shadow of
a high board fence nearby to hold council of
war.
Up on the big iron roof pier romped noisy
swarm OF children. They kept coming and COM
ing and the noise Of their shrill voices grew ear
piercing. When tho light began to die out Of
tho sky, and the long rows of arc lamps made
the pier one glare Joyce raised his baton for the
first tune by the band and there were more than
1900 people there to hear 1t. Directly over the
bandmastor's head was suspended piece or
white canvas edged around with n narrow band
Of the refrain Of "Sweet Rosie O'Grady i" in
staring letters. When the band reached that
air in the midst OF n medley nearly everybody
sang. Tho attendants of tho pier distributed
handbils containing tho words OF other popular
songs, such as My Mother Was a Lady and
"All Coons Look Alike to Ne and as the band
struck up each tune the audience sang; My
Country. 'Tis of Thee" was received with genu-
Inc enthusiasm.
There arc two stands on the pier for the sale
OF candy and soda water, and they throve; The
air was delightfully."- cool and the u'most good
humor prevailed. though half the crowd was on
the other halfs toes. Tho police say that at
