Local Pageantry and News Mixed in Crowded Day

A crowded event amid wet weather drew a modest crowd with poor publicity and a large procession. Solomon Brackenridge won in a top show, while Red Cross volunteers collected support. Prizes went to Mrs. Houston's and Mrs. Donnelly’s children as spectators endured the day.
