Mir cans went off. one nt n time.
The pro'enged shrieks of factory ami
steamboat whNtlei. and the cheering
and shouting of the theiwuids of spiv spiv
taters, added te the din. Frem Cam
den came the noise of ether bnttcrles of
whistles and regiments of cheering men
and women who lined the wharves
there.
Plane's Wat Spectacular
The feat of the hydroplane was the
most spectacular of the day. The
piano is the N. 0. commanded by Lieu
tenant A. C. McFall. and carr; lug one
ether officer. Lieutenant 11. Kmcrsen.
Because of the ice in the river, it wa
net pe'i.-iible for the hydroplane te take
te the air off the pl-r. us erlgiunlly
plnnnrd. It was sent up In n space
cleared of Ice bv navy men opposite the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, and winged
lta way up the river, with Commander
A. C. Kiehardwn, who wen undying
frnnc by crossing the rxran in a great
seaplane In May. HMD. dying above the
N. 0 in an X. L-. plane.
Fer several weeks the officers at the
Philadelphia Xavy Yard have been
prncticlng for thi difficult nnd dangerous
tunt. At first it was thought im im
peslblc . After a couple of weeks of
experiment, however, word was sent te
thn Bridge Commission that it could be
done.
Tim entnmnnder of the X. 0 flew first
Ter Camden, nnd dropped a parachute
"'-wltti t..e i ninden colors. Anether nnr-
nchute. with the colors of Philadelphia, were raised in the simultaneous shout.
Snreul and Kdwnrds were ready te ex
ercise their muscles. They would have
had n hard task otherwise, for the pier
is solidly built.
Only a structure built for hcrtvy car
goes could have withstood the weight of
the thousands of spectators, closely
, packed, who watched the ceremony.
Crowd Ilreaks Past Hounds
The crowd outside gave a mighty for
ward heave when the kiieediiiL' meter
cycles of the ethclnl party'.! advance j
guard swung from Market street north
into Pclaware avenue a few minutes
after 1$ o'clock.
The thousands en the sidewalks biirt
their bounds and overflowed into the
street, eager for a glimpse of the (gov
ernors and Majers, the c'liiiHi-Muners
and ether gue.-ts n.s they stepped from
their automobiles. The mounted traf
tic men rode their horses Inte the crowd,
1 slowly pressing them back. Cheer alter
cheer greeted the executives of city and
State.
When they hnd left the cars the niein
licis of the official ti.irty line.i up while
mwspnper photographers clicked their
cameras. Governors Sproul and Kd
wnrds posed nlene with the silver
i plated pick und crowbar with which the
tirst planks were te be pried away. The
precious Implements were tnken te the
pier by Jeseph K. Costelle, secreturj
et the Urldge Commission, who errleii
the pick, nnd Charles It. llncen, the as
sistant sccretnry who was intrusted
with the crowbar.

"When the ribbon hnd been stretched

Crowd (iathers Early
Leng before the official party, in the
city's handsome limousines, and with
motorcycle patrolmen as outriders, clat
tered up te the pier cntrnnee, the crowd
hecan te gather.
Deawarc avenue, from Arch street te
Vine, was jammed solidly from hnusellnc
te curb with men und women who were
net among the fortunate holders of
tickets. Mounted traffic men, wearing
their capes with yellow lining showing
in cavalry fashion, backed their hersci
te the curb, keeping the crowd from
overflowing onto the street. Windows
and housetops held hundreds.
Every vantnge point around Pier 11
was crowded. Three tugs in thi river,
at adjoining piers, were jammed te the
capacity of deck and cabin reef and
whcolheu. Vessels at piers nearby,
tbjelr decks crowded, had dressed their
halyards with every Hag in the signal
lockers. Acress the river could be dis
cerned ether crowds lining the Camden
wharves.
The thousands outside could net hope
te get even u glimpbe of the ceremony
which would inaugurate the work en the
new bridge. They waited, however, te
watch the coming of the Governors,
Mayers und ether notables, and espe
cially te see the most spectacular part
of the program, the linking of the two
cities with ribbon by seaplnne, flying
low across the Delaware, nnd the tiring
of the salute of seventeen guns rem
the fuineus old cruiser Olympia.
Te Lieutenant "Reb" Wnsslng and
hts stalwart Reserves, who fairly shone
In well-brushed new uniforms, was
riven the task of keeping order en the

As the efficlnl party pns'Cd slowly i
