Thousands of people attended the, all day eelebratlou of the Peelnsula' tribes of Red Men at the Casino yes-' tarda/, this being the cbi< f Labor Day attraction In Newport New?. Por two hours in the morning and through oat the afternoon a great mass of men, wf men and children was gathered on , the Casino le t ween the baseball park . and Twenty-sixth street, and at 5| o'clock in the afternoon, when the Red Men and the Huntington Rifles gave a reproduction of General ('lis? ter's last fight. It Is estimated that be-, tween five and six thousand people were on hand. The great majority j of these were Newport New? people,1 but Hampton and Phoebua sent over large delegations. j People Stayed at Home. A remarkable feature of the day i here was the fact that only a very few I local people spent the day out of the' city. I& spite of the big crowds ( gathered on the Casino nuny people | were to be seen on the streets both In the morning and evening, while last , night an unusually large crowd waaf on Washington avenue until a rather , bite hoar. Some few local people went to Richmond and Norfolk to see : the ball gain ; while others went to the nearby seaside resorts, hut tie' , crowd that Rpent the day out of aown . was the smallest of any Labor Day in years. The luseball gimea at the! Casino park also drew big crowds.') Many people, of course, journeyed to ; Backrne Beach last night, hut this . crowd was the smallest holiday crowd j that has left the city for the Bench In \ several years. 11 Holiday Observed. 'i Labor Day was generally observed f * here. The shipyard was closed, the custom honse was closed and Sunday, < hours were observed at the pnstofflcc. I There was very little work done alongi tan waterfront, the steamship offices j' being cloned during the great* r part ot the day. All of the business houses of the city closed at noon. The reproduction of Coster's last! fight by the Red M< n and the -palej faces'' proved, very exciting. The' braves, resplendent in their war paint and feathers, attacked the soldier boys from all sides and a sharp encounter ensued. Finally a party of Indians made a detoar through the crowds, sur-j pfjnsd the soldiers in their r- at and' "hilled'' them all. Then followed a ; syeat "scalping bee." the braves car (" rytng off the scalps of their conquered ! foe. During the Little the braves were led by Mr. W. C. Harris whll the soldiers were command <| by First Lieutenant Harry Huppert. Captain EM. N. BSbaak. Virginia Volunteer, re- j tired, participated in the "battle' with ' the Rifles. Started Out Early. The Red Men started on the war! path early in the morning and scores I ot them, dressed in their Indian garb and with their facts painted in all sorts of colors, could be seen on ibe] streets throughout the day.
