Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-01-01

shals were on hand In high silk hats
and frock coats, and it is to the untir-
ing energy of these men that Harris
burg folks owe the successful pageant
which practically closed the joy
making part of the New Year observ-
anCe in the city.
Long before the hour for the parade
to start cars coming into the city from
nearby towns were filled and many
people in the outlying districts started
for the downtown section to join in
the merrymakng.
The fun for the mummers is coming
when the twelve judges announce the |
winners of the prizes, which total hun |
dreds of dollars. Everything went off
in order despite the fact that the |
weather man didn't quite favor the
pageant. But the weather didn't in
terfere and the mummers' parade will |
long be remembered as the grand
tinale of Harrisburgs biggest and best
New Year.
