Fifty Thousand At- tend Big Celebration. On the evening of March 3rd seven enterprising young business men of Belle- fonte, namely: A. G. Morris Jr. Lewis Daggett, Hassell Montgomery, Donald S. Wallace, Robert S. Walker, William H. Brouse and Harry Ruhl, met at the Bush house to discuss the feasibility of getting up a big demonstration for the Fourth of July. Each young man contributed fifty cents, purchased postal cards, had them printed with an invitation calling a meet- ing at the court house on Wednesday evening, March 24th, and that was the beginning of the movement which ended last week in the blaze and glory of the Centre county Old Home week celebra- tion; a gathering the like of which has never been seen in any town the size of Bellefonte in all Pennsylvania. In fact so assiduously and earnestly was the work of every person connected with the association performed that the celebration far exceeded the expectations of the most enthusiastic, and brought back to Belle- fonte and Centre county from fifteen hun- dred to two thousand “Old Homers” and had an aggregate attendance for the week estimated at close to fifty thousand peo- ple: THE DECORATIONS MAGNIFICENT. Bellefonte never looked more inviting than it did for last week’s celebration. The town was clean and had been fresh- ened up with paint wherever needed. In addition, the decorations were on an elaborate scale; the street decorations showing off especially beautiful at night, when the thousands of electric lights seemed to form a regular canopy over High and Allegheny streets from Howard to Bishop. All business places and many private residences also bore ample evi- dence of the decorators skill. INFLUX OF ‘OLD HOMERS.” Old Homers began to gather about the middle of week before last and every train brought its quota of guests until Friday and Saturday when the influx reached its height. Of course old Cen- tre countians continued coming in until the beginning of the week and there were few homes in Bellefonte that did not have their quota. OFFICIAL OPENING. The celebration was formally started at 9.30 o'clock on Friday morning, July 2nd, when Our Boys band of Milesburg gave a concert in the Diamond. Rain interfered with the official opening exer- cises in the Diamond and they were held in the court house. Dr. E. H. Yocum made the opening prayer after which burgess Edmund Blanchard, in a brief but well worded speech, extended an of- ficial welcome to Bellefonte’s guests and metaphorically gave them the key of the town. Col. H. S. Taylor was introduced and - spoke for the citizens of Cen- tre county. The Colonel's address was highly appreciated by all who heard him. Friday evening a public reception was held at the residence of Burgess and Mrs. Edmund Blanchard, but a hard rain fall- ing at the time made the attendance lim- ited, but those who were willing to brave the elements were fully repaid in the cordial reception extended. THE AERIAL HOWARDS. The first surprise the public received of what the association had provided in the way of free attractions was Friday even- ing when the Aerial Howards gave their pyrotechnical high wire bicycle and trapeze act from the Temple Court to the Brockerhoff house. The perform- ance in itself was daring enough but the climax came when the fireworks display was set off toward the end of their act. It was a brilliant and beautiful sight, and no doubt had much to do with draw- ing the crowds on succeeding days, as every evening they performed thousands crowded the Diamond and Allegheny street to see them. ATHLETICS SPOILED BY RAIN. Saturday was to have been athletic day and Dr. R. C. Weston had arranged a good program of various sports but it rained frequently during the day and it was impossible to pull off a single event, Rain also interfered with Saturday night’s program. : SUNDAY’S SERVICES. The church services on Sunday were just as given in the program published in the WATCHMAN two weeks ago. At 2.30 o'clock Sunday afternoon the Tyrone P. R.R. band gave a half hour concert on the band stand in the court house yard, and at three o’clock a union meet- ing was held. Dr. George E. Hawes pre- sided and made a brief talk on the church history of Bellefonte. He was followed with brief talks by Rev. Frank Wetzel, Dr. M. K. Foster and Rev. George E. Emenhizer. At the close of the ser- vices the band continued its comcert. Another concert by the band was given in the evening. A BIG CROWD ON MONDAY. While the weather on Sunday was de- lightful a hard rain fell Sunday night and Monday morning and there were grave fears that it would spoil the at- tendance that day. And perhaps hun- weather but as it was the Monday crowd dreds were kept away by the inauspicious |’ A Complete Account of the Greatest Gathering Ever Held in Bellefonte. Every Part of the Big Program Carried Out to the Letter. With Big Free Attractions. Vast Crowds Pleased was the biggest ever gathered in Belle- fonte. The streets were literally packed and while it was difficult to estimate the number, it was placed at from fifteen to eighteen thousand. Seven bands were present and they all were very liberal with their music. In fact it can be said that this was a characteristic of all the bands here during the week. The good nature of the crowd seemed to be infec- tious and the band caught the spirit and gave it forth in inspiring strains of music. SENATOR PENROSE’S ADDRESS. A public meeting was held in the Dia- mond promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. Burgess Blanchard presided and introduced Major Robert A. Cassidy, of Canton, Ohio, who as an old Centre countian, told how he appreciated the privilege of thus extending a public greet- ing to his old-time friends. He then in- troduced Senator Penrose. The Senator reviewed briefly the ear- ly history of Centre county, talked of its natural resources, and of the eminent men it had given to the country while yet in its infancy. He paid a tribute to its three Governors and the ready re- sponse of its citizens every time there was a call for soldiers to defend the sanctity of the Union. He also spoke of the educational work of The Pennsylva- nia State College and pledged fealty to it as long as he lived. CIVIC AND FIREMEN’S PARADE.

The attraction on Monday afternoon was the base ball game between the Renovo and Altoona railroad teams.

The $20 in gold offered to the young lady who sold the most tickets to this game was won by Miss Ruth Woods. FRATERNAL PARADE TUESDAY. While the crowd on Tuesday was not nearly as large as on Monday it is esti- mated that from eight to ten thousand people came in by train and autoes. The first thrill of the morning came at ten o’clock when aviator J. E. Richter made his first flight from Beaver field.
