HOW Prizes
WERE awarded

! day deserves TO be termed an all
around success.
If any point could be cited wherein
it suffered by comparison with the
parades of former years, abundant ex.
cusa was to be found in the condition
Of the streets and in the weather,
which up to the very dawn of New
Years day was rainy. During the
morning there was no real assurance
that rain would not fall during the
day, while, with the exception of Mill
street, the route of parade lay through
! thoroughtares in which the mud was
nearly ankle deep. That such condi-
tions tended to dampep the enthusiasm
of the mummers and actually kept
many out Of the parade goes without
saying.
And yet the parade was a highly
creditable affair aud afforded unbound
ed enjoyment for one of the largest
throngs Of humanity that ever crowd
ed Mill street. The big contingent
from Exchange. including the band OF
that place, as we'll as delegations from
other parts of the rural district, was
deferred from coming to town by the
bad weather. Otherwise the parade
came nearly up to the expectations. A
good idea of the different features. the
costumes and their relative merits, can

ed that nearly five thousand people
were on Mill street
