BATTLE OF TRENTON.
125th Anniversary Celebrated
in Elaborate Manner.

Trenton N. J., Dec. 27.-The one hun
bred and twenty-ffth anniversary of the
battle of rento was deliberately cele-
brated here today. The suspicious
weather had the effect of bringing out
a large crowd of and local
people, who lined the streets along
which the sham battle and the subse-
quent parade took place. The sham bat
tie did not commence until after ~
o'clock, owing to he lateneSS or the
arrival of the National Guard from out
of town points. The general forces OF
Washington, General Sullivan and the
Hessians for more than an hour occu-
pied the streets and covered the ground
that was gon over in the riginal bat
tie, and a realistic picture of that battle
was presented, except the suffering
which the American forces underwent
because of the cold weather and the
ineficiency of clothing.
The sham battle began near the bat
tie and continued down War
forces, under Colonel Gilmore, of the
Second regiment, retreating and hating
at short distances, firing on the
ing American army. This continued I'M
til the surrender at two points, one in
front of the postoffice or East State
street, and the other on South Broad
street. During the sham battle there
was continuous firing of guns and can
mons.
After the surrender the military was
reformed for the general parade, which
was supplemented by more thai 1000
of civic organizations of the
city. In the parade was the Second
battery and the Second and Third regi-
ments of the New Jersey National
guard, under the command of General
Cooper. h parade passed through
about a mile of the streets of the city,
and at the state house was reviewed by
Governor Voorhees, and a large number
of state officials. The indoor celebration
took place at 3 o'clock this afternoon,
in the opera house. Mayor Briggs in
troduced Governor voorhees, as the pre-
siding officer. The principal speaker
was Prof. woodrow Wilson, of Prince
ton, who delivered an address IN the
Battle of Trenton"
The days celebration will close with
fireworks this evening at Monument
park.
