When it was announced that the
Labor Day celebration this year would
not include a street demonstration,
many members of locals affiliated with
that body inclined to the opinion that
the celebration would be analogous to
Shakespeare immortal tragedy Of
Hamlet, with Hamlet left out-in OF
her words, that the abandonment OF
the principal feature would result in
the financial failure CT the picnic. In
this they were agreeably disappointed
if the term may be used. The wealth
er was perfect, and the sport pro-
gramme was the magnet which at
tracted a crowd yariOusiy estimated at
between 4,0C0 and 5000 persons, to the
Fair grounds. There was no demon
stration of the strength of organized
labor in this city, but the liberal pat
ronage may reasonably be regarded as
an evidence OF public sympathy with
unionism. From whatever standpoint
it is considered, the picnic was a COM
plete success.
A big crowd saw the start of the
road race at Main and Tenth streets,
and after the last man had deprted,
there was a general movement towal d
the Fair grounds. A steady stream of
humanity poured through the Front
and Penn street gates, and, the crowd
was largely augmented by those who
went over after supper.
The privilege men were very much
in evidence in the vicinity of the main
building, and every sort of MCKEE
catching contrivance was in successful
operation. The bar received good
play" but there was very little drunk
enness, and with the exception of oae
or two unimportnt occurrences, the best
of order was preserved throughout the
day. Young people of both sexes
thronged the dance platform through
out the afternoon and evening. The
colored folks had separate platform
in machinery hall.
The most prominent feature of the
celebration was the programme OF
sports, which was carried out very
