SING SINGS PARADE
ONE OF ALL NATIONS
No Dispute Over Who VIII Be
Leader of Prison March.

There was no dispute as TO who
should be grand marshal Of the St.
Pstrick's Day parade in Sing Sing.
Peter Cullen claimed that honor by
virtue of descent from 1000 kings of
Wexford and as chief of the Mutual
Welfare League police. and there were
none to give him argument. Made up
like Chauncey Olcott, he led the
strangest parade the old gray walls
of the prison had ever seen.
Peter did not ride a horse for the
good reason that in his youth he did
not know how. But Jack Barry, his
chief Of staff, could. Attired in a
swallowtail coat, with great green
sash draped over his chest. and the
traditional dudeen in his silk hat, he
rode a big bay mare. Beside him on
q white OF doubtful age rode Tommy
Madden, while Morris Clifford. who
weighs 275 pounds, had a leg up on
sad looking sorrel. The riders did
not know il. but had the fire bells OF
Ossining sounded they might have had
run for it. for the animals were
borrowed from the local fire depart
ment for the day.
