VETERANS RIDE
OVER ROUTE OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO
Survivors of First New Jersey
Volunteers Parade Through
City Streets.

Going over the same route that fifty
years ago tJday they travelled in the
first bloom of youth, fifty-eight griz-
zled veterans, survivors of the First
Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers. were
greeted with cheers this afternoon as
bent and aged they rode in automobiles
through Broad street to Military Park,
around the park into Washington
street and thence back to Broad street.
1t Was not the same wildly cheering
throng that greeted the survivors that
had greeted the First New Jersey Regi-
ment in it's rush to the defense of the
Union on Monday, April 20, 1861. But
all along the line that was covered by
the automobiles there were cheers and
IN many cases heads were uncovered as
the veterans passed 1t was silent
demonstration that the men who risked
their lives to save the Union in the
troubulous days of 1S61-65 have not
been forgotten.
When the regiment went to the front
in 1861 it was commanded by Colonel
Adolphus ]. Johnson. He is long since
dead. OF the captains who command
ed companies at that time William
Tipson is the only survivor, while only
two of the company lieutenants, James
Payne and John Glazier, were alive to
ride i'll the parade today.
Riding in the first automobile was
Joseph T. Wambold, 81 years old. who,
as a lad of II. beat a drum as the
regiment paraded down Broad street
in 1861. Today, grizZied and gray, Mr..
Wambold had his old drum with him,
the same one he carried fifty years ago,
and beat it as Justify as he did half
century ago. He is the only survivor
of the drum corps of the regiment.
Others in the parade whose faces
are well known were Chief of Police
Michael Corbitt, who was a private in
the regiment; H. S. Tolin, now presi-
dent of the organization; A. Jenkinson.
vice-president. and Joseph B. Ash. Sec
retary and treasurer.
Regiment Left Newark April 20.
The. regiment left Newark on the
morning Of April 20, 1861. They reached
Trenton that same day and were mus
tered in. Six days later they arrived
in Washington, after a never-to- be-for-
gotten trip that embraced Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Annapolis and ride up the
Chesapeake bay on a crowded transport
loaded to the guards with young SOL
diers.
On their way to the train in 1851 the
regiment was halted at the Newark
High School, in Washington street,
now the Normal Training School, and
were presented with a silk flag by the
students. That flag went to the front
with the regiment, and now, tattered
and torn, reposes in glass case in
the corridor of the Barringer High
School, having been presented to the
school by the regimental association
about ten years ago.
Following the parade the veterans
gathered at Achtelstetter's. where q
banquet took place at which speeches
were made by most. of the survivors
and by a number of invited guests.

THESPIAN NERVES RACKED
AS HOTEL AWNING BURNS.

A flaming awning on second STORY
window of the Hotel Navarro, in Broad
street, caused no end of excitement and
$50 damage today. Workmen were put
ting the roof garden in shape for the
summer and one of them, it is believed,
ropped a lighted cigar, cigarette or
torch or something on the awning.
A number of thespians appearing at
local playhouses make their temporary
home at the Navarro. and e sight of
flames and the excitement incident to
the arrival of the fire-fighting ap-
paratus was too much for their care
fully cultivated temperaments.
1t was an easy matter to extinguish
the blaze, but not so easy to erase the
effects of the terrible shock admins
tered to some of the highly sensitized
emotions floating about the lobby. In
time calm was approximately restored,
but it is taken for granted that some
performances this afternoon and eve
ming will be practically spoiled.

Now Discussing Pitchers, Catch

thusiasm of Veterans.

Strikes. fouls. slides, muffs, errors,
three -baggers, singles, popfiys and all
the rest of the baseball jargon are on
the lips of Montclair High School girls
today. Serious prospective captains in
gym suits and hair-ribbons are dis
cussing possible pitchers with the grav-
ity of major -leaguers. Subtle strate-
gies of the diamond are receiving more
profound study than geometry or Latin.
And dainty note paper with cryptic
marks that might be ineligible to
Chase or Joe McGinnity are being
passed around the school rooms.
This is all owing to the determination
ton of the girls to have baseball rival
basketball on the athletic calendar. A
meeting has been held and Miss Elfie
Mathews elected the general manager
of the inter-class league. -Four teams,
1t was decided, are to be formed. one
from the senior, junior, sophomore and

another meeting is to be held at which
four captains, one for each team, are
to be elected.
Practise is to commence on the High
School grounds Immediately. When
the girls have learned TO stand up at

likewise learned TO face the batter with
equal bravery. teams are to be chosen.
The date set for this event is next
Wednesday.
Games are then going to be played
indiscriminately by the teams for the
sake of practice until the last week in

Gymnasium Instructor Miss Nellie

and supervise the teams. The physical
director will have nothing to do with
the girls baseball And boy rooters
