today. and with its families and its
friends made merry i'm the most de-
lightful fashion.
The great crowdd usually greeting
public parades in this city were absent,
probably for the reason that so many
hundreds of people took advantage of
the two holidays coming together to
visit the mountains or the seashore
for quiet recreation.
But it was a good parade this fore
noon, just the same. and a comfortable
crowd this afternoon at the park, and
as a whole a very pleasant and well
managed celebration, with no accidents
and no distressing incidents to mar a
perfect day
Probably 500 laboring men had places
in the parade. The Carpenters union
carried off the prize for turning out,
there being las men in line. The other
local unions represented and the num-
ber in line were as follows: Painters
and Decorators union. so: Typograph
ical union, 26; Wood Workers union.
30: Sheet Metal Workers union, 2s. and
the Lathers' union. 20.
Some pretty effects were shown by
the uniforming of the men in the diff
ferent divisions. The Crown City band.
recently unionized. furnished the music
during the parade and at the park.
The mounted police. city officials. mem
bers of the local press and women of
the Union Label lea que helped to make
up very representa- tive procession.
The women of the league occupied
carriages decorated with purple and
white bunting. Specially designed
\ l. i . III
play of flags and colored streamers
were used by every one, and these
added the needed touch of color to the
display.
Admission to Tournament park was
free. and the great stand with its null
titude of seats was a little over half
filed to watch the sports George Bra
den, physical director of the local Y.
NJ. C. A., acted as manager of the long
list of events and saw that there was
no delay.
Many people went to the park desir-
ing to see the advertised fencing bout
between Professor Harry Maloney and
were disappointed. The management
of the celebration had solicited the as
sistance of these two men for the enter
tainment of the crowd, expecting, ac
cording to the committee in charge,
that the fencing bout would be put on
free of charge, none of the other events
costing anything.
This forenoon Professors Maloney
and Murray told the committee that it
would be just so each or no fencing.
The committee regretted exceedingly
the misunderstanding. but felt obliged
to cut that number from the program.
The scientific bag punching by Harry
Cannon, and the tumbling and parallel
bars work by Roy Allen. Arthur Clark
and Herbert Shut of the Y. M. c. A.
Squad Leaders club more than made
up for the omission and were greatly
appreciated by the big crowd.
