A# Irttuoin VI tne clly HIST nipnI ana on
NJ joyed the greatest license in their cec
d bration Of All Halloween. While many
n wandered ut large on the streets, cnj
II ing themselves in their own way, and
~ making fun for others, interest centred
ii in the big parade and il seemed as
though every inhabitunt Of the clt,
crowded to the streets along the route
to watch the antics of the festive mum
mcrs.
II was II night of pleasure for many
and of the widest freedom from restraint
by the city authorities but, summing it
&zlll mp, it may be said truly that tho
celebration was disappointment in sew
Reral ways. First the procession could
ont compare with that of last year, ana
was almost entirely devoid of specially
# attractive features, though it cannot he
adenied that most of the organizations III
line presented Il fine showing.
W Then again so far as giving the pub
%flic information as to the prizes awarded
sN& mot the least effort was made to facili-
q tate this work.
#W This makes ii impossible to give list
2fof the prize winners Gut it was learned

|that Crusaders Commandery knights
III of the Golden Eagle, had received the
!&prize for the organization presenting the
Finest appearance.

on the City Hall bell, and the parade
#started over the route laid out from
Eleventh and Market streets.
WI Chief of Police Massey did everything
Pm his power to aid those in charge Of the
celebration, and the police arrange
8ments were of the best. Every man 81
