The parade w r with' numerous and artis- v decorated floats, the Home | Guard and City Guard companies added the neces: military touch to the occasion, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Tierney Cadets showed the interest which the younger generation has in tho Great W but it remained for the ladies to make the success of the parade a certainty. There were literally thouss of them in the parade, most of whom were dre in pure white, with the sip cap and Red Cross bands of the Am- erican Red Cross nurses. The con- tinuous stream of humanity which flowed for over an hour from Frank- lin Square, through the center of the city to Walnut Hill park, presented the most inspiring sight that it has sce in a long, long time. And it was the ladies and their co-operation, which made this thing possible. North & Judd Wins Prize, There was great interest in the decorated float which was adjudged | as the winner of the silk flag prize. | The judges were Mayor G. A. Quig- ley, William F. Brooks, Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, Rev. J. T. Winters and Rev. J. Klingberg. Selecting the winner was a difficult task, but the honors were “finally awarded to the float of the North & Judd Manufac- {uring company, the rules of the con- test preventing the five floats entered the Red Cross and surgical dress- stations from competing. The winning float was divided into two ections, showing the work of the Red Cr - here” where women knit, sew. and the Red Cross worl “over there,” where Red Cross | nurses administered to wounded sol diers. Practically everybody in the v who was rle to be out saw Sat- parade, so an enumeration of the floats and further discription of affair is not only unncessary but wholly impossible.

Before concluding the account of Saturday's great celebration however, mention must be made of the moth- ers of soldiers who marched in the Only a comparatively few of soldiers’ mothers took park in the parade, for upwards of 2,000 men are said to have gone out from 'this but there was a good sized del- egation of them who did march. Car- rying the significant little service fag, with its red border, white center and blue star, these mothers of soldiers who know better than anyone else the grim sacrifices and suffering of war, marched along amidst an almost continuous burst of applause from the thousands who thronged the streets. A float, which carried in it two little boys ¢ ssed in little sol- dier suits, likew drew its shars of applause. The two little fellows were the two sons of Captain Alfred H. Griswold and a placard on the tloat dri ed as a soldier, w dy is fighting for democ other interesting feature of ade was a float on which Red Cross nurses were shown dressing the wounds of injured soldiers. On this float, dressed as a oldier, was an old- er brother of the first New Britain soldier to be killed in action. The s killed was J. of Maple street and Edgar Linton, imperson- wounded soldier receiving Red Cros aid with telling effect upon the crowd.
