TROLLEY CARS AND PAS
SENGER TRAINS PACKED.
1t was the Gayest, Merriest Crowd
that Ever Thronged the Streets
of Reynoldsville and there was
Nothing to Mar the Pleasure of
the Biggest Day of the Towns
Greatest Celebration.

One Of the merrest, maddest Gro ds
that ever iOstled together on the streets
of Reynoldsville surged back and forth
yesterday and in the evening ii is esti-
mated that fully twenty thou aud pcn-
pile were In the town and most Of them
promenading the great court Of amuse-
ment which In quietcr daysis known as
Main street. II was Neighbours day
and our nrighbUrs came to see US in
numbers and in spirit which left no
question II their good will towards rs.
BrOokyille, Punxsutawney, hi, Run
and the host ui other county towns con
tributed their full quota anl Dubois
turned out as it has not done for doz-
en- years or more. Probably four thous-
were here. Indiana was represented
by a jolly crowd OF registers and New
Bethlehem and Clarionites were here in
appreciable numbers. Every street car
that came here from the Sykesville and
Punxsutawney terminals was weighted
down with Its load OF human freight
and the Pennsylvania railroad coaches
were packed to their full capacity.
Everyone was bent on having an out
ing and the Reynoldsvlle people for
the day laid aside all serious business
and joined them. Many of the mills
and Industries were closed.
An unusually large crowd witnessed
the ball game In the morning between
Reynoldsville and Falls Greek and at
the afternoon game, when the home
team met bunch OF old Romans who
used to do battle some centuries since,
the ''grandstand" on four sides OF the
field was filed with Il mob OF bowling
fans. On Main street races we're held
and the thousands Of promenaders
had no lack Of entertainment from the
time that Freddie Cunningham gave
his startling exhibition on the tight
rope to the moment of excruciating ex-
pectancy when Harry Breton cut the
rope, gided down his awful incline and
took flight through the atmosphere.
1t was worth year of life to have
seen and to have been one OF the great
pleasure-seeking crowd which thronged
Main street during the evening. Young
people and old men, women and chill
dren jostled together ia the best OF good |
humor and in the whole crowd there
was but one case Of disorderly conduct
The air was filled with confetti and
every device known to tickle the risi- :,
bilities Of humanity was In evidence.
A dozen great honking autos were rae
ing up ana down the street, fantastic
band under j. A. Blaydon made gay
ETY. all along the line, while the Key
stone and Volunteer bands were sur
rounded by apprecistive crowds
througout the evening. The latter Or
ganizaiion came down with the big Du.
Bois delegation and headed the process
ion as they marched up town. About
eight In the evening, when the fun was
at its height, another Pennsy sylvania
railroad passenger train pulled in and
another thousand Of our "neighbors"
dropped off to help the celebration
along.
Main street, blazing with its myriad
electric bulbs, lit up with the glare OF
red fire, with its mass OF continually
moving humanity and noise of bands,
of autos, Of passing cars and carriages,
Of street barkers, of shouting and laugh |
ter, was transformed into great thor
oughfare in Vanity Fair and its prom
enaders delirious with the mere exuber-
ance of joy.
When the hour for Breton's wonder
full leap arrived, Main street was
plockaded with an immovable massed |
body OF people. 1t was the greatest
crowd that has ever gathered to witness
such an event In the town. Ropes had |
been stretched to prevent the near ap.
proach Of persons to the big incline but |
