told that johnson had won.

there was a decided contrast in the
number of people on the streets Mon
day from one year ago, when the big
day OF the 250th anniversary celebra-

whatever to draw people here. The

We're no violations so fragrant as to

was all done within the prescribed
hours and many crackers and explos-

hours

ing there was a general outbreak of
salutes all over the city. The small
boy was up and waiting for the hour
to arrive. From then on the noise in
creased and diminished like an artena-
tor. Many set out early for the coun-
try or went to the shore, though many
were deferred by the threatening con-
ditions of the early morning. The one
