Fully 500 residents of this city, West
brook and windham, who came from
Denmark or who are the children of
Danish immigrants joined In celebrat-
ing their great national holiday yester-
day.
Last year the custom was inaugurated
of celebrating the anniversary of freedom
from despotic rule. Just fifty years previ-
Gus to that date the Danish speaking peo-
pie received the right of representation
in Legislative body and the opportunity
was taken for grand celebration Of the
event not only by residents Of Denmark
but also by those who had gone out T.
find new homes.
The days outing proved so successful
that 1t was decided to make the meeting
an annual affair and preparations have
been carefully made so that the annual
celebration at Sebago Lake yesterday
which marks the 5lst anniversary will
excel last years gathering.
At an early hour yesterday morning
women and children began to gather
about Union station each one laden with
a lunch box. All eyes were turned to-
ward the Congress street hill down which
the pedestrian wends his way when
bound for the West End district, and
presently there came into view long
line of Danes headed by band made up
chiefly of people of the same nationality.
The procession proceeded to the station
bearing the flag of Denmark along with
the stars and stripes. Each person wore
a badge made of the national colors, red
and white. The special train which was
in wal ting to bear them to the days fes-
tivities was boarded and ut 9.36.it steamed
out OF the station laden with upwards OF
400 people.
Stops were made at Westbrook and
Windham where the party was augmented
by residents of the latter named places.
The journey was continued to the
Sebago Lake regions where the party left
the train and joined heartily in celebrat-
ing their national holiday.
The speakers of the day were r. Nelson,
A. Dam and o. Larson, whose remarks
were listened to with much attention and
We're of a very patriotic nature. A good
programme of sports and happy time
generally was then in order.
