aaosha leped bt along into the
socofal day of her great ightieth birth
day Home Coming celebrations today
and after the grand old time of last
night the people were slow to get into
the celebrating mood this morning.
Hundreds of them went over to Wash
ington Island in order to get the best
possible view Of the first of the series
OF exhibitions by the Kenosha Life
Saving Crew under the command of
Captain Frank Fountain. The crowd
was not all over on the island and a
big crowd Of people were cut o., the
harbor piers. The life savers gave a
wonderful exhibition of their skill in
handling the equipment Of the station.
During the morning every train into
the city brought more Home Corners.
They came from all over the country
and while the register at the central
headquarters did not show more than
fifty or sixty names it was declared
that there were more than three humid
red visitors in the town before noon
today. A lot Of the people never went
down to register and they seemed to
be so busy recalling memories of the
other days that they cared little
enough whether other people knew they
they were here or not.
Chairman Head of the committee
was on the job early this morning He
had several of his men making per-
sonally conducted trips about the city
with automobiles just entertaining
people who have no relatives left in
Kenosha but whose interest caused
them to come long distances to attend
the big celebration.
Evidently Kenosha was so tired af-
ter the real big events of last night
that the people found no time for the
proposed symposium Of pioneers which
was to be held at the Library Park
this morning. Several speakers were
present, but the crowd failed to come.
I'VE re all boys now," said a gray
haired home conner who managed to
get over to the park and / came over
out of curiosity and not as a pioneer"
Evidently lot of them took the same
view of the matter and the speaking
meeting was called off by Chairman
Head.
This afternoon thrill was put into
the events of the Home Coming when
Fire Chief Isermann and the members
Of The fire department staged a real
fire run through Milwaukee avenue
from the north limits.
One of the biggest events of the
week is to take place at ten CLOCK
morrow morning when there will be
a great industrial parade. This parade
is going to be representative of Keno
sha' IS greatness as a manufacturing
city and it is certain that it will draw
to the streets one of the largest crowds
of the week
