This weeks was the first Fourth OF
July that the Hibernians have not held a
demonstration of some kind for many
years. They are now rejoiced that they
pursued this course. Heretofore they
have had to pay extraordinary high prices
for the parks, sometimes as much as
81 900, and never less than $500, which
ran the expenses up to vast sums, the
park management getting all the benefit.
When the rain came up Wednesday many
