gallery was crowded to suffocation,
and the heads were nearly knocked off

machine grew dizzy from its constant
up.and-downward travelling, and the
horses, lions and unicorns OH the

crowded on the platform of the
merry -go-round, .and stood in between
the wooden animals, OH some of which
two persons were sitting. Dan cling
also drew n number of devotees. The
swings broke all records, and a noisy
baseball game was soon in progress,
the exursionsts bringing their own

The local dealers have laid in large
stocks and, although the demand has
not rs yet been brisk, there is ex-
peoted to be general rush for the
explosives and fireworks within tie
next few days. Already. III not
few sections of the city, the small
boy has pushed the lid Off of his
enthusiasm, aud given won't to his
patriotism with crackers and paper
caps, the latter being exploded by n
variety of methods. A runaway and
two or three other accidents have
been caused.
The displays, as noted in tour of
the shops this morning, are equal and
probably superior to those of previous
years. None of the really large pieces

mand, being mostly by the small boy,
Is for the smaller and better-known
varieties of moderate size. The can
non crackers are popular and these
and the blank cartridge pistols, which
cannot be sold to children, will play
large part i'll the noiss and din of the
Glorious Fourth. Gap pistols, also,
|lnust only be sold to adults or chill
lren accompanied by adults. Prices
are materially the same as last year.
Torpedoes retain thoir old time
shape and character. What the trade
calls "silvers" is little pinch of
gravel with bit of silver illuminate
wrapped in tissue paper.
When they are dropped to the
ground they explode with a loud re-
port. These are for children and they
arc harmless. A large percentage of
| those used are made in tho winter by
the fislierfolk of the Long Island coast
hamlets, who would otherwise be
without employment.
Fire crackers all come from China
with the exception of the cannon
cracker, which is Yankee invention.
Tho duty OH this commodity is eight
cents pound, and at that rate it was
not profitable for the American mer-
chants to import big crackers filled
with brick aust and paper wads.
