The inaugural parade represented law
and ORDER and the police had this at
their command,
With the suffrage parade such was
not the case. The crowd was allowed
to surge upon them, and the crowd was
greater on the 18th than on the Sd.
There were more strangers here. OF
course, 1t was not the intention of the
police to do other than to preserve
order. but the sentiment Of the people
overpowered them.

important questions there will be many

a great deal OF disorder east of Fiji

that point. Directly west of the re-
viewing stand was a solid mass OF peo-
pie back of the ropes and only about
three policemen in front.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
In response to your invitation beg
to state that / consider 1t great pity
that Major Sylvester should be embar-
raised in any way on account OF the
Incidents of March 3. You must not
fail to consider that there were many
thousands Of onlookers on the Avenue
who were not there on the 4th. ana
these had to be congested into shorter
line of march. In selecting SO short q
route the women made mistake
Time set for the stopping OF TRAFFIC was
too short, and the crowds became I'm.
patient because the procession did not
move at the hour scheduled.
The police did make serious enorts
to keep the crowd of the street, but
there were too many women ana chill
dren to accomplish much. moreover,
when the mounted officer at Seventn
and the Avenue endeavored to push
them back, boys would slap his horse
and pull the animals tail
Some remarks were shouted at tne
participants by men and boys ana
sometimes women, but these were OF q
humorous and '.slangy" rather than OF
q vulgar and obscene nature.
OF course, we all deplore the unfortu-
nate affair, but for one deem 1t .
mistake to lay the blame for 1t at the
door of our excellent superintendent OK
