13—The Buckshot war in the
State House in 1833, when troops
were called from Carlisle and Phil
adelphia.
The historical data for the tableau
has been collected by Dr. Hugh
Hamilton, of this city, president of
the Pennsylvania Federation of
Historical Societies. He has secured
or had prepared a number of draw
ings which arc being used in the
preparation of the scenes.
The pictorial representations are
being prepared under the direction
of theatrical men of the city, who
have volunteered their services for
the occasion. They will have charge
of the complete preparation of the
floats. Several hundred persons
will participate. Costuming and drill
work will be in charge of Mrj.
Florence Ackley Ley, of the War
Camp Community Service.
The tableaux on the river, which
is scheduled to be presented in the
evening, is the leading feature on
the program, but many other inter
esting events have been prepared
for presentation.
Two thousand feet of under
water lights will add to the even
ing spectacle. These lights, which
proved highly successful in previous
celebrations, have been made pos
sible through the assistance of J.
H. Thompson, electrical engineer of
the Valley Railways. "Flood" lights
of great candlepower will light up
the River Front between Walnut and
South streets, where the events will
take place.
A display of army fireworks,
such as were used during the recent
hostilities, has been placed on the
program through the courtesy of
Colonel Kemper, of the Harrisburg
recruiting district. Other fireworks
likely will be added.
A number of interesting water
events arc being scheduled for the
afternoon. Canoe, motorhoat, swim
ming and other water events are
being planned. Aquaplane exhibi
tions, such as were had during pre-i
vious celebrations, may he includcil#
A number of band concerts am
being planned and community
ing will be included. W

make the lock ready to raise or
