Independence Day was generally ceie-
brated in and about the city, and
proved day of enjoyment to every
body. The Crowds at the parks were
unusually large, while the private par
ties leaving the city were numerous.
Aside from the social features in con-
nection with the Fourth, the week was
evcentionally dull. The first excursion
to the seashore has departed, and will
be followed by weekly migrations TO
Atlantic City and other watering
places. During the coming week there
will be very few social entertainments,
and the summer months promise very
little in the way of fashionable func-
lions.

Vana and he described them as a wild

are little more than half civilized and an

Then came the Light Infantry, and then
came the sailors OF the three war vessels-the
Dolphin, Machias and Marietta Then came
the different masqueraders, and the school
children rode in the Great Eastern wagon.
~ night they had beautiful fireworks and
the streets wore very pretty. There was
great deal of noise Oh the streets; ne1 WON.

other instruments which will make a noise.
They had poles from Prince street out Wash
ington and out to QneeD, and the poles had
flags on them representing different States.
