A FAMOUS PRIVATE PARTY
DIR. Enoch Edwards was a noted
Philadelphia patriot and on the night
| of July 8, 1776, gave a private party
at his old colonial mansion, Elm Hill,
| on Frankford avenue, to which many
| notables were hidden. These included
| Adams and Jefferson. Both, ordinarily
| dignified, let themselves loose this
night of nights.
Toasts were drunk to the Declare
| ton, its signers, other individual patri-
| OTIS. the colonies as a union, each OF
the thirteen states-in fact. to every
| body and everything connected with
the triumph of the colonies. There has
never peer such enthusiasm over
Fourth of July fireworks as there was
at this memorable assemblage of the
| elite of the neighborhood. These fire.
works had been brought by several of
| the party, but the others did not know
what the bundles contained until JEFF
| ferson, so it is recorded, produced a
| string of roman candles. Amid breath
| less expectancy they were set of.
~Skyrockets, ~irecrackers, pinwheels,
green. red. yellow and purple lights
in short. every then known variety OF
fireworks followed the roman candles.
The affair was purely a social one
and was intended to be kept strictly
secret. but In some unknown manner
the story of the fireworks and jollif-
cation leaked out. and great was the
disappointment of the unlimited when
they learned what they had missed.
Then and there il was decided by
the city of Brotherly Love that a
great display of fireworks shonld
mark July 4 each year. which was the
date officially set by congress for a
universal celebration of the adoption
of the Declaration of Independence.
John Adams N a letter to his wife
in July. 17T6 prophesied that July A
would be celebrated by succeeding
generations as the great anniversary
