ton reaches me that laborers on pub
lie work in your city are working to
exceed eight hours a day in violation
of the state law which it is my duty
as a state officer to enforce; this
have done when my attention is called
to such violation.
"The recent decision of our supreme
court on this subject dispensed with
all doubt about it's enforcement.
1T lies within your power to issue
orders to have this law Immediately
put in force in your city. This l most
earnestly request you to do, the same
as Mayor Hunt did some months ago
in the city of Walla Walla.
IF I am not at once advised by you
that you do this, I will have to begin
such proceedings as the state law pro-
vides for to enforce the eight hour
law in your city. I beg to remain,
Yours very respectfully,
&c. f. HUBBARD,
state Labor Commissioner"
Mayor Reed stated that he had noti
fed Mr.. Hubbard that the city was

1T WAS BABY DAY
AT ASBURY PARK.
Nearly Five Hundred Tots Toddled in
the March,

Asbury Park, N. j., Aug. 81
Babies from every nook and corner
of Uncle Sans domain and some
from across the sea held festal
holiday and high revel in Asbury
Park today. Dressed in their best
raiment they paraded the ocean
front this afternoon and were
reviewed by Queen Titania (Miss
Julia Doremus) and her maids in
the court of honor.
1t was baby's day in the fairy
realm by the sea. Almost every
variety of infantile precocity was
represented in the moving pro
cession, from the infant terrible
subdued and tractable, under the
influence of appalling envirnment,
and Using in graduated stage to
maturer juvenility, which, under
pressure, was permitted to assume
trouserloons and long skirts.
There were nearly 500 good
humored tots i'll the procession and
they toddled contentedly in the
grand march while many thousands
of spectators, fascinated. by the
moving panorama, looked OH with
sympathetic eye. There were dolls
in coaches, wheeled by their proud
young owners; express. wagons and
Bicycles, baby carriages and go
carts; children dressed in fancy
costumes, tots in burlesques garb,
twins, floats and pony turnouts.
Alllegory and history found equal
favor in the float division, which
contributed much variety of orig
iual construction. The fancy
dress division was phenomenally
strong and picturesque and evoked
remarks of approval
from the spectators. There were
several pairs of twins in the
parade.
The court of honor naturally was
the centre of attraction. Queen

high chancellor, the court Jester,

ing abrilliant and enhancing scene.
Many watched the parade from

the cottages and buildings adjacent /
to Ocean avenue. It is estimated
that the throng lining the side /
walks on Ocean avenue was the
largest ever gathered in Asbury
Park upon any similar occasion. i
