The annual Mardi Gras parade and ball given by the City of Vineland far eclipsed every like event given by that city in the twenty-five years' history of these Today Hallowe'en celebrations.

Music was surely a feature which added greatly to the enjoyment of the spectacle. Fully a dozen large, snappy bran bands furnished the music which made the air ring from one end of the line of march to the other. The second was the section of ehanniig young ladies. 30 or
