hands. For instance, a large baking
firm gave over to as many of it's en-
ployes as could be spared several
huge delivery wagons and a score of
horses. You could not find a present
able motor car along Automobile Row
after half-past r. The taxicab sta
tions we're quite cabless before the
game, and hacks, cabs, buses and
equipages of a vintage long since for
gotten were dragged out of their sta
ble-yard tombs and attached to the
first available nag.
Thousands walked. Happy was the
man who lived in North Philadelphia.
Bicycles which had not seen the light
of day for years were fetched up from
the cellar, creased, wiped off and rid
den with more or less safety over
Broad street and out the humanity
clogged Lehigh avenue. Without any
exaggeration there were more speci-
mems Of animal life around SEibe Park
yesterday than ever collected in any
one square here before. A thousand
and more dogs had followed their fana-
tical masters to the park. Somehow
or other a score of cats had mingled
with the crowds. A horse that had
bolted at Broad and Dauphin streets,
upset the milk wagon to which he had
been nitched, and, after swapping the
shafts, plunged out Lehigh avenue and
stopped at Twentieth seTeet, wonder
ing. A goat, which crowd of small
boys had decorated with red blanket,
on each side of which was the big,
smiling photographers of Connie Mack
issued with the Public Ledger of sew
eral Sundays ago, became embroiled
with deg at Twentieth street and Lee
high avenue and two policemen had
to drag Billy to the open lot across
from the park. 1t was a complete vic
tory for the goat and the dog limped
away on three legs.
Youthful Acrobats Get Free View.
About a hundred-makbe more
small boys saw the game for nothing
They performed acrobatic feats that
would have elected applause anywhere
On Somerset street a crowd of young

took flying start and dashed up the
board 1t meant quick work and

the cornice of the wall by his fingers.
To draw himself up and throw over a
leg was the work of a second. Then

the wall. On Twentieth street the

wall. The first to reach the top ex-
