at the Battery, the office buildings
were jammed with sightseers. Even
the wonderful height OF the. Singer
tower was no obstacle to privileged
ones who gazed at a spectacle that
must have resembled an ants pro-
cession in their eyes.
Many Celebrities In Line.
Following an escort of mounted po-
lice and the band of the historic Sew
enth regiment of the New York Ma
tional Guard came a corps of Rough
Riders, mounted and in costume, the
guard OF honor. Behind them was
Colonel Roosevelt in an open ba-
rouche. The reception committee in a
long line of carriages followed, en-
bracing national celebrities such as
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, Captain
Archibald w. Butt, the presidents
military aid; Governor Fort of New
Jersey, Ex-Governor B. B. Odell, Jr.,
of New York, and many others.
The band of Squadron A, the crack
cavalry troop of Manhattan, led the
Spanish war veterans, of whom sew
eral thousand were in line in the
khaki of the Cuban and the Philip
pine campaigns. Bringing up the rear
were Captain Jack Alternately. fed
eral marshal Of Oklahoma, and his
sons Louis and Temple, aged 10 and
6 respectively. The youngsters, who
had ridden from Oklahoma alone to
greet their idol, the colonel, received
q hearty welcome.

The president, Mrs. Dowler, who lis
going to leave the city, turned over
the reign of the Office to Mrs. Settler,
the first vice president. A rising vote
Of thanks was given her for her eff
cient service. Mrs. Squires then with
fitting remarks, in behalf of the So
ciety, presented her beautiful silver
meat fork as a token Of remembrance.
Still another surprise awaited her.
The tables in the dining room were
beautifully decorated and an elegant
luncheon had been prepared. AS Mrs.
Dowler had not suspected anything Of
this kind the surprise was complete.
Here her will yielded to her emotion
and she was unable to express in
words her appreciation of these kind
remembrances. All regret very much
that Mrs. Dowler is going away but
the work will be well taken care of
under the management of Mrs. Setz-
ler.

been trained to such a degree. Rossi's
Musical Elephants join four young wo-

to the specially, and work with the
elephants in all they do. The musi-
cal elephants will be introduced as the
central figures in an Oriental spec
tacle of much brilliancy which will
constitute the Far East section of the
allied entertainment. Arabian aero
bats, Japanese jugglers, Hindoo fax
irs and Whirling Dervishes will con
tribute to the scene and to lend authen-
tic color; camels and donkeys will be
introduced and there will be pageant
of the tribes and people of the Far
East, dressed in native costumes, filling
the arena with melange of animation
and color. This scene will be a sharp
contrast with the Wild West features
which will include the Battle of Sum-
NIT Springs, employing one hundred
Indians and an equal number of sold

of historic scene wherein Col. VIM.

AN URGENT APPEAL
FOR A PLAY GROUND

criticised or blamed for performing
sworn duty. But l doubt If the arrest
and fining of boys will do much for
their future good. Boys will be boys
and, if the city has grown around
and about the old-time play grounds,
if there is no place where they can
now play without giving offense or the
breaking of some law what are the
little tads to do? Are there none who
who will stop to think for them? Pos
sibly when, in turn, they (the new
young), become city dads they will
know better what is due their coming
fellows.
The fathers and mothers are loath
to have the little ones go far from
home to play and well, the streets
are no place for them-there danger
turks at every point. Old and young,
all, need breathing places-play
grounds-spots where pure air and
safety can be found. Places where the
people can congregate and enjoy them
selves
Whilst awaiting action, (the con-
summation Of the above stated want),
why not Mt. Vernon follow the exam
pie lately set by the city officials Of
Marion, o., and throw open as play
grounds the several school yards of
the city?
Let the boys and girls play and
give to them all the space that is pos
sible. They will make all the better
men and women for the playing. Nor
will it harm the older men and women
to mingle with them and thus renew
the memories of their own old-time
school days. j. j. FULTZ.
