New Britain’s grand public display of fireworks took place last evening as per arrangement and for which much credit may be given the Cham- ber of Commerce. A crowd of about 30,000 people and between 3,000 and 4,000 autos were on hand when the first bomb rose into the air at 8:50 o'clock. From 7 until 9 the Ameri- can band rendered one of its popu- lar concerts which was greatly en- joyed by the early arrivals. A display that was totally unex- pected was witnessed during the evening when a huge fire in Meriden lighted the sky for miles around and gave one the impression that the sun had taken an unexpected course and was returning for the evening's en- tertainment. The city’'s own display which consisted of bombs, aerial pleces, waterfalls, set pieces and col- ored pieces of all kind that set the heart of both young and old Amer- ica aglow with pride. Special mention should be given the police department for the excel- lent manner in which the huge crowd was taken care of, assisted by the Boy Scouts. Chief Rawlings, Ser- geants Kelly and Herting had charge of the police squad and were given very little to do outside of parking cars for the crowd was of the orderly type and little inclined to violence. Taking everything into considera- tion the display was a grand success and all those who were in any way connected have the thanks of all the vast throng that was in attendance. PATROL COVERS 80 MILES During the evening of July 8 the police department was kept unusually busy preserving order and investigat- complaints. The iliary patrol proved its usefulness and according to Chairman E. G. Babcock of the safety board it covered no less investigating complaints. At one time the patrol, the auxiliary and mandeered private car were out at one time and each brought in one or more prisoners. CONVENTION HERE.

This vote was taken after all prizes had been awarded and when if any dissatisfaction existed it would naturally be manifested. Although the | weather was not exactly ideal duri | the stay of the German singers it was | a great improvement over the condi- tions that reigned during the recent convention of the Swedish singers and there was scarcely-a hitch in the pro- | gram as announced. Prizes to Hartford. i Hartford took first place in the com- | petitive work, both in the singing | contests and in the parade. The Hart- ford Saengerbund won first > in the competitive singing and the Hart- ford Maennerchor first in the parade. | Second honors were reversed, the Maennerchor being second in the | singing contest and the Saengerbund second in the parade. It was easily Hartford's day. Announcemen:t of the winners was made at Scheutzen park at the outdoor carnival yssterday afternoon, the sealed decisions, which had been placed in the vault at the National bank heing brought to the park and opened. Announcement of the winners was received with cheers and the members of the Hartford so- cieties were naturally jubilant over their victory. The complete list of prize was as follows: Singing, first Hartford Saengerbund, first; Hart- ford Maennerchor, second; second class, first prize, Arion of Danbury (only one prize in this class); third class, Turner Liedertafel of Stamford first, Liederkranz of Thomas- ton, second; fourth class, Liedertafel of Rockville, first (only one prize in this class): parade prizes, state societies first, Hartford Maenner- chor; second, Hartford Sacnger- bund; third, Germania of Bridgeport; local prizes, Austrian Singing societs, first; German War veterans, The judges of the competitive were Carl Kapp of Newark, N Alecke of New York, and Hugo | bruck of Brooklyn, N. Y., and the parade judges were Herman Fleischer, Captain C. H. Beaton and C. J. Muller of Berlin. Many View Parade. The parade yvesterday morning in which all the visiting societics and clubs took part was reviewed by fthou- sands of people and proved a welcome addition to the Fourth of Ju bration. The line formed on I lin square at 10 o’clock and almost to the minute the first division, headed by Marshal A. L. Thompson, who v mounted, moved northward towar main street. There were five divisions each headed by a division marshal. Mayor Quigley, President Louis Lehr of the general committee and mem- bers of the council rode in automo- biles. The route of the parade car- ried the marchers to the upper end of Main street around the triangle in tory awards class, font of No. 3 engine house and back front of West Main street where it dis- banded. Handclapping and favorable com- | ments along the line attested the | pleasure of the crowd as some pretty float or original device swept by. Tha | Geman Kreiger Vereln made 2 lne | appearance and was augmented by sixty voung women who appearel as Red Cross nurses. The Austrian Singing society wore costumes illustra-t | ing thelr nationality. One float which called for speclal applause was oper- ated by six bicvele riders, three for- ward and three in the rear, while two voung ladies rode beneath a canopy of ribbons and flowers. Following the grand concert at the | Lyceum Monday night, which was graced by the presence of Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, there was a grand ball at Turner hall which was | largely attended. Dancing continued long after midnight and for hours Arch street was gay with merry-mak- ers. The whole event from star: to finish was planned with care and that it proved such a complete success is an added triumph for the New Rrit- ain Quartet club, under whose ans- pices the saengerfest was given.
