NIGHT PARADE
The night parade was lengthy and
beautiful affair. The organizations in
line looked fine, and some of them
were particularly effective, notably the
Yama Yama girls, Holly club, Knights
of Pythias and the Lakanoo Boat club.
The floats were well designed and
attractive in appearance.
The mummers seemed to be num-
berless, and some unique effects in cos
tunes were observed.
The night affair was under the direc-
ton of Robert S. GaslxiIl, chief mar
shat, with Micaiah E. Matlack, Claude
b. Bullock. John G. Garrett and Morris
K. Perinchief as assistants.
Marshal Gaskill rode in his large
and powerful Locomobile roadster,
which was beautifully decorated. A
large star, made from innumerable
electric lights of red, white and blue
colors, on the front of Mr.. Gaskill's
car, was one of the features of the pa
rade, and elected we'll deserved APP
plause from spectators along the route.
Like the afternoon affair, the night
pageant moved exactly on time, eight
o'clock, which showed good manage
ment on the part of the marshal and
his assistants.
The parade formed on upper High
street and proceeded over the following
route: Down High to fountain, to
Washington, to King, to Water, to
Main, to Garden, to Buttonwood, to
Union, to Main, to Broad, to Mount
Holly avenue, to Mill, to Pine. to bridge
and countermarch, to Mill, to Main, to
Judges stand anG dismiss. 1t is esti-
mated that the parade was about a
mile long. 1t required thirty-five min.
