the afternoon was a most enjoyable
one, embracing many sports, and al
those present at the time that the vari
Gus events were pulled on, witnessed
some excellent matches.
The crowds during the afternoon
were very good, but during the even
ing only small numbers attended, due
possibly to the fact that the weather
was very inclement In fact during
the early portion of the evening it be
gan to rain and in addition to keep
ing large numbers of persons away
from the celebration. 1t also had the
effect OF causing many to leave the
park and return to the city.

fired into crowds of demonstrators, and
workmen, in retaliation, resorted to

that the recent gloomy foreboding
would find contradiction in peaceful

the morning with a gaily beoecked
crowd of people and children enjoyed
themselves in the warm sunshine.
No untoward incident was reported
until the afternoon when several work
men, carrying red flags, marched
along Zelna street. The demonstra-
ton was orderly and proceeded with
out trouble for some distance, when
suddenly the cavalry charged and
broke up the procession. When the
cavalry was withdrawn infantry fired
, volley into the crowd, whereupon
the demonstrators turned and fed.
The infantry continued TO fire into
the retreating, shrieking multitude.
Thirty-one were killed
