CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN
WITH A GREAT PARADE

Monday nights celebration Of Hal
lsWe'en was the most elaborate and
most striking ofall celebrations Milford
has attempted In late years. To begin
the festivities the ladies Of the New
Gentry Club held their stated meeting
that afternoon with closed doors and
windows, using artificial light, and
all wore costumes some representing
witches, others historical characters,
etc but the evening parade and mas
queradiDg was what attracted the PEG.
pie. The police kept all teams of Of
Walnut Street, between North Front
and South Front Streets, and permitted
the merry makers absolute sway within
bounds. The Red Men OF Sakimas
Tribe, assisted by their brethren from
tribes at Houston, Milton and other
points, all gOrgeously costumed in In
dian garb, and mounted on horses,
made a striking appearance Then fol
lowed a score OF floats representing the
arts and business interests. The Milford
Fire Department with its equipment
head the line, which was under the di
Tection Of Captain W. f. Lank. The
veteran fremen were in carriages. The
mRsquersders followed, and there were
many curious - well as fine make ups.
The two bands Of Milford furnished the
music, and as the parade was nearly a
mile long, there was quite a breathing
spell between the music, but this was
made up for by the many attractions Of
Interest. When the parade had passed, |
the Red Men enacted q chsrade IN the
plaza, which ended in a realistic repro |
Guction of the burning OF a man at the I
stake. From all neighb0ring towns, /
from the country and by train, many .
came to Milford to see the pagent, and /
1t is estimated that fully five thoHsaud |
people crowded the streets when the
parade was passing. It was a credita-
bic spectacle TO even city, and the or
der maintained was remarkable for its
excellence. OF course there were sew
eTal, both young and old, who made
sPectacles of themselves by drinking,
and one youBg boy especially displayed
bis misfortune in having he rum habit
fixed on him, boy an exhibition Of INN.
selfin q drunken condition before ladies
and gentlemen; but with even this
small fly in the eminent, there were
only the old habijual drinkers in evi ,
dence, and there was nothing like what
would have happened had the bar
rooms have been open ss they once
were. Il was joyous and happy crowd
indeed, and we hope that Halloween
one year hence will see another on the
