Those who accompanied the liberty
bell from Philadelphia to Boston say
that there was less demonstration
over the precious relic at New York
than in any other place along the
route. As one OF the party puts IT,:
"The bell passed through the metrop-
oils like consignment Of structural
iron. Requests Were received from
nearly every town and city between
Boston and Philadelphia to allow the
people to see the relic, but no such
request came from New York SO it
happened that while 10000 baseball
dervishes gathered at the bulletin
boards no single person in New York
did honor to The symbol Of American
freedom"
