After these contests the crowds saw the tie baseball game between Bellmore and the visitors and then came the surprise. Walfing for the game to finish and lined up on Bell¬ more avenue waa the soldier boys and their officers and as soon as ready the ;!..')00 spectators were treated to a spectacle nono evor expected to see In Bellmore. The brass band of 4,') pieces paracifed across the ball field followed by the field mtisic of 1 2 men. Marching to posilion on the east side of the grounds thoy took sland and Senior Captain Coffln marched to posi¬ tion saluting Major Cooke and Cap¬ tain Stockbrldge standing ready for review at the west side of the field. Then appeared the four companies of well-trained and drilled militiamen swinging on lo llie east and then to the north and in a well executtd maneuver formed into a front line with the precision of regulars, grounded arms and stood like statues, tlie crowd jumping to its feot and giving a roar of appreciation that rolled like thunder across the parade ground.
An Interesting drill followed and then the crowd slood at attentloii while the band played that grand old ' Star Spangled Banner." Then the liarade formed behind the music and marched off loaving behind it a stun¬ ned crowd who realized slowly that they had witnessed an exhibition ot tlie abilll yof tho State's citizen sol¬ diery and its discipline. The memory of il will linger for a long while to come; to the .credit of the command present and those who were respons¬ ible for getting them rti Bellmore.
After supper lime the (arnival ball (ominenced in fire hall and lo show how much it was looked forward lo, we wore told by Foreman Green that never In the history of llie building has such a crowd attended an affair hold there. The place was packed with folks from all over tlie town and the uniforms of the soldiers pre¬ dominated, (^iiairman James A. Stiles marshalled the couples together for (lie grand march before the ceremony of presenting the Nassau Poat loving? cup lo the (jUcen and the committee's gift to tlie king. Bringing these two interesting and interested persons lo tlie centre of the floor while the marcliers and spectators formed a line enlireiy around the dance floor. Chairman Stiles introduced them and niatle tho presentation speeches.
Much Interest was centered In the (|ueen. Miss Marian Allen of Bay Side, daughter of J. J. Burgess, owner of tlie Bellmore garage, as she was not a resident of Bellmore and known to but a few persons. Mr. George Johnson is tlie son of one of Bell¬ more's most reputable citizens, Peter Johnson, supervising engineer of the cily water works departmenl and an imporiant niember of the citizen's commiltee. Both tho king and Qiieen wero elected by popular vote each bal¬ lot cast costing the voter one cent and the number received by each was, for queen, 2.->,202; for king, 684.
The contest for queen was close, the second in the race being one of Bell¬ more's favorite daughters, the charm¬ ing .Miss Mabel Soper, niece of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Bedell of Merrick road and Cenire avenue, who received 24,784 votes. It was thought to the end that Miss Soper would surely be crowned, but she has lost none of li,er popularity by being second. Chair¬ man Harry Merrll of the carnival committee was in charge with Walter Brockman as assistant.
Generally speaking it is hard for a newspaper to give an accurate ac¬ count of such a multiude of incidents as took placo Labor Day In Bellmore. But too much prals^ cannot be given the committees in charge of this cele¬ bration to advertise, boost and show the advantage of their home section. There was a care shown to detail that proved worthy of all effort. Not a case of drunkenness, rowdyism or dis¬ order was reported. It was a day for pleasure, not trouble and good-wtil prevailed.
The men of the Twenty-third regi¬ ment were encamped from Salurday night to Monday night on the field north of Brown's Hotel. They were the centre ot attraction at all times and the residents entertained many of them at their homes during their stay and everywhere they went the glad hand was extended lO them. Each was a gentleman mindful of tbe fact that he was the representative of a regiment that stood for every clean and noble thing man should be a party to.
The firemen as ¦ they presented themselves for the parade were locat¬ ed on Centre avenue. The Woman Suffrage delegation had their head¬ quarters at the Worth House. The Boy Scouts, Camp Flre Girls and Pio¬ neer Girls established themselves on Grand avenue.
The congratulations of everyone should be given the successful com¬ mittee which was composed of the following men and it need never be doubted that if occasion arises where their effort Is needed they will stand ready to respond.
The committee: Executiva chair¬ man, James A. Stiles; treasurer, James E. Place; secretary, Charles L. Peterson; grand marshal, Frank M. Graham.
The chairmen of the various com¬ mittees: Jesse A. Vooris, decorations; Frank Leonard Hack, parade; Rev.
