BUNKER HILL
Days LIVELY
CELEBRATION

Boston. June 17.-Charlestown's celebra-
tion OF the 1s2d anniversary of the bat
tie Of Bunker Hill was ushered in today
by tho lighting OF an immense bonfire
on the shore of the Mystic river. The
mammoth pile measured more than so feet
high and 200 feet at the base. What was
probably the largest crowd that ever turn
ed out to witness the early celebrations
was the auietest in years and the noisy
demonstrations OF the past were not
much in evidence.
At sunrise all the bells In the district
were rung for an hour and were follow
ed by a salute from the guns on the war
ships at the navy yard. The forenoon was
occupied largely by athletic contests and
local observances. The annual civic and
military parade was on larger scale
than ever before and was TO be reviewed
by Mayor Fitzgerald with members OF the
city government and many distinguished
guests.
One OF the features was the presence Of
Company @, Ninth Infantry OF the New
York State National guard An electrical
parade composed OF is illuminated floats
with a display OF fireworks were the fea-
lures planned for closing the celebration
this evening.
