PALISADES JULY q
GREATEST EVER
Continued from page 1.

During these exercises the band
played national airs between the little
talks, which added interest to the oc-
casion.
Emil Yurillo, the fireworks wizard.
also contributed largely to the morn
ing festivities by very interesting
display of daylight fireworks. These
consisted of few blank bombs and
then a really wonderful array of bomb
shells, which unleashed a series of
floating parachutes bearing large
American flags and also streamers of
the flags of all nations. Besides, he
had dirigible capped by outstanding
American flags, together with an aero
plane suspended from parachute,
which was beautiful in effect The
daylight fireworks were complete
success as well as a surprise.
The afternoon was spent in game
of baseball between the $3.50 boys and
the married men, the latter yielding
the palm to the youngsters by the score
of 16 to II, although up to the last in
ming the married men were ahead, but

when nine runs were secured against
them in one inning. This meant their
downfall. 1t was game of many COM
! ic situations, but interesting withal
The feature of the game was double
play between the second baseman and
Mr.. Logan at first, the latter retiring
his man on difficult barehanded one

The evening festivities at the play
grounds proved really a sensational
windup of a wonderful day. The
weather had been extremely hot and
was still so. Not breath of air was
stirring, but withal about loo people
gathered at the Fairgrounds, with
some 80 automobiles, and where Emil
Yurillo gave the most interesting and
dazzling display of fireworks ever seen
in eastern Bergen county.
The most interesting and novel fea-
ture of the evening, however, was the
community singing, led by Mr.. William
S. B. Dana and prepared by Miss Fan
ME Bradshaw, who directed that part
and skill imaginable. Miss Bradshaw
received a perfect ovation after the
two sets of national and patriotic songs
had been rendered by the chorus,
which Mr.. Dana had drilled and joined
in by the audience. The Fairgrounds
are beautifully located for banking
large audience of this character, and
as the songs had been scattered
throughout the little hill on which they
sat the ensemble of the singing pro
duced an effect both delightful and
novel. AS matter of fact, this part
of the program was beautiful and pic
turesque beyond compare. A little dis
tance away from the group of singers
the effect of the warm summer night
was really effective. Mr.. Dana was
given a salvo of applause with Miss
| Bradshaw at the conclusion of this
part of the program, which was not
only pronounced success, but Won
derful success, thanks to her constant
and determined effort to make it so.
For the fireworks, Emil Yurillo quite
distinguished himself The program
had already been printed, but he gave
many added numbers, and the general
effect was evidenced throughout the
evening by horn blowing from the au-
tos and handclapping from the audi
ence.
Some 20 gallons of ice cream in brick
form were distributed among the audi
ence, and everybody had enough and
to spare.
