Everything Successful, in His Opin-

Commissioner Rudolph is we'll satisfied
with the way things progressed in the
safe and sane celebration of the Fourth
committee which arranged for the day.
he carefully watched every detail of
the proceedings.
"Everything was successful" he said
this morning. From the unwilling at
Decatur House to the last piece of fire.
works things went off with a snap and
vim that I was pleased to see.
And, of course, there were no acct
dents that could be attributed to the
celebration of the holiday. I believe
two fellows fell out Of canoe during
the races, but they were fished out of
the water by the police boat so prompt
ly that they hardly got wet.
Folk Dances Only Omission.
Every detail was carried out with
the exception of the folk dances that
were to be given on the White Lot by
two hundred of the playground children.
That, of course, had to be abandoned on
account of the rain
II was much interested in the sporting
events of the day, and gave as much
time to them as / could. l saw the boys
swimming and watched the municipal
games long as / could Then 1 went
over to the canoe events.
II am much interested in the track
and athletic field. l believe the boys Of
the city ought to have a splendidly built
and equipped running track.
Col. Cosby has given us a good track
already. OF course, owing to the short
time we had. it was not in the best shape
in the world.
Site for Athletics.
Now that the War Department has
given us the use of a stretch of land in
the vicinity of the swimming pools it is
quite probable that the high school boys
will have fine athletic field there. And
not only the high school boys. either. for
it will be purely municipal affair open
to all Washington boys"
The joint committee expressed it's
thanks today to Mai Sylvester and the
police department for the manner in
which the large crowds were handled
