arrived there. There were probably 20.0o0
in the park and on the sidewalks In Brond
and Centre streets and Park place.
After the procession many people started
for home, but they could not get across
Broad street east or west, and had TO
walk a long distance to reach home, or
else remain until the paraders passed down
Broad street. Thousands rushed across
Military and Washington Parks after the
parade passed north to see IT return.
Before / o'clock people began TO pour
into Market street from Bank street and
Springfield and South Orange avenues, and
in half an hour they were strung hve anu
six lines deep from Plane street down to
the -Four Corners" and those who wanted
to go to Broad street had to move at al
great pace from Washington street To

and south. many of them from OUTSIDE

stretched across Market street on the
-Four Corners. and no more cars or
wagons could enter Broad street. Cars

Market street station. No cars came out
Of Clinton avenue after the ropes were

wanna avenue.
Thousands of people could not get down
or up Market street while the procession
was under way, and they went north OF
Halsey. Washington and Plane streets and
along Mulberry street to get a glimpse OF
the paraders returning along Washington
Park. Many were disappointed. for the
crowd was dense up there. but not any
thing like the great jam at the -Four
Corners and in all streets running into
Broad street. Hundreds stood Up in wagons
in these. streets. behind the people massed
on the crossings, to see the procession.
An EVENING STAR reporter walked
down Broad street to Lincoln Park, where
the societies were forming in line. There
was not a very large crowd OF observers
along the park or Broad street and Cln-
ton avenue. but all the fine residences were
ablaz with lights. Ten minutes before tne

sidewalks. The frame residence of Ber-
nard NJ. Stanley. jr., was covered WIFI
ropes of purple and white. the colors or
the Elks, electric light bulbs from the
basement TO the roof. Window shutters
were open and blinds up In all the resi-

end parties of women were at the windows.
The four floors of the City Hall were bril-
liantly Illuminated, and women were al
every window and on the stone balcony In
front of Mayor Jacob Haussling's offices.
The high front steps were black will peo-
pie. and the wide sidewalk was also.
Women filed the balconies of the Man
sion House. the se~cond-story show windows
of stores and the two floors of the knights
of Columbus headquarters, opposite to old

looked out from the windows. A twenty

Stetter's. tile Central Railroad station, the
National State Bank building. the Globe

and crowds were massed on the steps Of
the Howard Savings Bank and the Mutual
Benefit building, on the postoffice plaza
and the Scbeuer building was ablaze from
the second floor to the roof and packed
with spectators. The Hahne g. Co., Snyder
e. Co. and Straus & Co. buildings and
others in Broad street were decorated.
On Park place Proctor's Theatre had cleo
trio light designs in the Elks colors. Above
the south end of Washington Park the
decorations and electric light displays were
few.
On the canal bridge at the head Of Mill
tary Park the EVENING STAR man saw
the procession pass up Park place. II was
the best point along the line from which
to view 1t. 1t was planned that Mayor
Haussling and the Aldermen should halt
here with their automobiles and review
the parade and to select the prize winners.
But through a misunderstanding they made
the review at Park place and East Park
street. From the time the head OF tlt
parade crossed the canal bridge until the
last of the nonedscript masqueraders at
the rear crossed 1t was thirty-one minutes

After the paraders all passed the Four
Corners. going north, hundreds of people
hurried up Branford place and other side
streets to try and so up Halsey street to
see the procession returning around Wash

way through the solid mass Of people at
Broad and Halsey streets. Finally an au-
tomobile party forced their Machine
through the line. moro than a hundred
men fell In behind and managed to go
6cross Market street and 20 up Halsey. TO
the end. only to find a great jam of peo-
pie there and along the east side of Broad
street.
When the procession wheeled into Mar

sidewalk that nobody could move. Women
