Atlantic City will be in holiday at
tire OF Saturday next, Sept. rs, for on
that date a Rolling Chair Pageant that

The affair will be the joint effort of

All will give their best towards
staging a spectacle that will be men,
orable and that will no doubt attract
many visitors.
AS a rolling chair exhibit there will
be shown many stunts in which to
beautify and camouf1age these rolling
bassinnettes for grown ups for while
the rolling chair will be the only We
hicle allowed, everyone of them will
be decorated and many will be the sur

cause of the unique and original show
ings. The route has been well chosen
and will cover the city, the parade
starting at Massachusetts and Atlantic
avenues, going down Atlantic TO Cali
fornia avenue, thence to the Board
walk, and along the ocean way to
Rhode Island emu This will give
the entire population a chance to get
a good view. The parade starts
promptly at 2 o'clock.
A notable exhibit of the AEGEAN
of nations or rather the international
Pageant will be the representation of
the Allied countries. Belgium will
wheel along in a chair suitably be-
decked and guarded by an escort of
twelve uniformed Belgian soldiers.
France will come next with an escort
of twelve French Poilus, and Great
Britain will follow impressively eos
TUNED with English soldiery, twelve
in number, as escort. Italy will be
next, guarded by twelve Italian in
fantrymen. This remarkable showing
will follow the start of the procession
which will be headed by the big Boy
Scouts Band followed by a great turn
out in full regalia of the Boy Scouts.
"The Spirit of 1776" will be next in
line. Then will come Red Cross Nurs-
es, Uncle Sam and Columbia. Spanish
War Veterans, Camp Dix Band, Amer
lean Legion and other organizations.
These are but a few of the features.
A costume ball to occur on the Steel
Pier in the evening will be a fitting
close to the big pageant of the after
noon. The ball will have many points
of interest aside from the make-be-
lieVe personages, the assumed pomp
and wealth and the gaily bedecked
men and women in their dress of mas
querade. There will be two great or
chestras to furnish the dancing music,
there will be three interesting dancing
contests and many personages Of
prominence will be present as guests
and participants. Some novelty will
attach to those who will make an eff
fort to secure prizes for the arrange
ments include three sets of awards,
and all of the articles are well worth
winning.
Professional dancers will be given
the first opportunity TO show their
skill and grace. Then will come the
amateur dancers. and following the
results of these two. the professional
winner and the successful amateur
couple will contest for a third.
Camp Dix is sending its great big
band of 80 musicians. No musical or
%ganization is better known or better
liked than this splendid body of sol
diery and in its organization there are
many soloists of unusual ability.
