PARADE
IS STOPPED BY
THUNDER STORM
Annual Dress March Routed In
Mid-Afternoon When Rain
Threatens.

Easter Sunday had fine start,
but all hopes of the afternoon
dress parade were dlspe1led at
o'clock when dark clouds began to
gather and a thunder storm fol-
lowed.
There was no Easter parade,
except for the morning church
goers. With the sun shining in the
morning and no indication of rain
the Easter style show seemed al
most a surety. But by mid-after-
noon the storm shattered all visions
of walking down Second avenue in
the latest spring fashion.
No let up of the rain occurred in
early evening SO that there was no
opportunity to begin the style
march then. During the afternoon
and night there was a rainfall of
20 of an inch. Last years parade
was nearly halted by slight show
ers, but not entirely abandoned.
