A QUIET CELEBRATION.
BUT wAsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY WAS OBJ
SERVED WITH MUCH PATRIOTISM.

The anniversary of the day Of Washingtons
birth was observed generally in this city yes
terdav. The downtown districts, which are gen
orally active and nervous with life were quiet
and sleepv The streets were deserted. The
flags on the public buildings were flying all DAY
long. and were the only signs by which one
could tell that the day was not Sunday, but a
holiday
The uptown districts were livelier. There were
natinees al all the theatres, which attracted
large crowds. both from the city itself and from
neiehboring places Flags were flying from
many private houses and from hotels clubs
and stores. The great number Of these hags
indicated plainly and stirringly the affection OF
the people ~ New York for Washington's
memory.
But uptown as well downtown the day
passed In a comparatively quiet manner. There
were no large public meetings and few paraoes.
People were not. therefore. drawn from their
homes in large numbers. Toward evening, as
the audiences came out Of the theatres the
streets filled up and became bright.
The only outdoor sport which had much OF
following during the day was golf. Matches
were played az Lakewood, BaltusrOl, Dyker
Meadow. and AT most Of the other nearby links.
The conditions were not particularly favorable,
since there were patches Of snow on most Of the
links
After sunset a heavy furry Of snow feN. The
clouds had been thick and threatening al inter
walls during the day The furry did not last
long, but there were prospects Of more snow
