TWO HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY
At one o'clock all the school children of the Town assem- bled at the different schoolhouses, those in South Framing- ham marching by schools, those from other parts of the Town being conveyed, to the various positions assigned by the Committee in charge, for formation into the Children's Procession. Arrangements had been fully made under direc- tion of Hon. George A. Reed, Chief Marshal and Chairman of the Committee on Children's Procession. The perfect June weather of the day promoted the utmost success that could have been desired in the execution of the Committee's plans. The children were arranged in divisions with the following members of the Committee acting as Marshals, George A. Merrill, first division ; George F. Amadon, second division; Irwin G. Marsh, third division; Peter McPhee, fourth division; Willis A. Chamberlin, fifth division ; Howard Mason, sixth division; Thomas A. Finn, seventh division ; J. R. Hawley Moore, eighth division; M. E. Fitzgerald, ninth division ; and Alfred C. Fay, tenth division. The total number of school children thus assembled in military column was one thousand eight hundred and forty-three. The line of march was from Grace Church in South Framingham, along Union Avenue to the grounds of the Middlesex South Agri- cultural Society, a distance of over a mile.
This procession of children surpassed anything of the kind ever seen in Framingham, and probably in any of the towns of Massachusetts.
The boys military company, known as the Framingham Cadets, dressed in khaki uniforms, and with full outfit of haversacks, cups, rifles and belts, acted as escort. The youngest children had the right of the line, the schools following in order of their grade. Music was furnished by the Elmwood Band of South Framingham and Battery B Band of Worcester.
This procession aroused great enthusiasn among the thous- ands of persons who witnessed it. The weather, the sum- mer beauty, the happy children gay with bright colors, following in long column, school succeeding school, the hundreds of flags and banners, altogether made an extra- ordinary and wonderfully pleasing sight.

CHILDREN'S PROCESSION
It is worth noting, as showing the very general interest taken by the children of our Public Schools in the celebration, that out of fifty-one schools in Town, fourteen were represented in the Children's Procession, on Tuesday afternoon, by every scholar and eleven more by every scholar but one. The following table shows the number of scholars under each teacher, and the number who marched. Names of Teachers are given in the same order as in the Program of Exercises in the Schools.

At the Fair Grounds, under the supervision of R. L. Everit, Chairman of the Committee on Grounds and Tents, a large tent had been erected, with stage and seats. Into this the procession marched in divisions, and the children enjoyed a miscellaneous program of music, slight of hand tricks, performance by trained dogs, and various acrobatic special- ties, continuing throughout the afternoon. This entertain- ment had been planned by the Committee on Children's Entertainment, of which Clarence T. Boynton was Chairman.
In another part of the grounds various out door sports were held, including a base ball game and a balloon ascension. These will receive special mention elsewhere.

ATHLETIC EVENTS
The return of all these little folks to their many homes, without accident, brought this day to a happy ending. In all its features and from beginning to end, Children's Day was a complete success.
