State Convention in Asbury Park
on Labor Day-Preparing for
a Grand Time.
HAVE BIG PARADE.
On labor day the Knights of Pythias
of New Jersey will go to Asbury Park
about 8,000 strong and nil the courte
sies of the resort will be tendered
them. A telegram received by Mayor
Keator from P. Frank Shanley, grand
chancellor commander of the order,
was read in the meeting of Asbury
Park council Monday night. The
telegram follows:
“The Knights of Pythias have de
cided to visit you in a body on Labor
day and expect to bring from 6,000 to
8,000 people. The headquarters will
be at the West End hotel, through the
couftesy of Mr. Ten Broeck. Your
permission to hold a parade of a half
hour’s duration is solicited, and we
would also like to use your reviewing
stand. If you could grant us the use
of your band for the parade, together
with a police escort, the order would
be under eternal obligations.' ’
It took council no great time to de
cide that all the lequests which the
order made would be granted very
willingly by Asbury Park. It was
the common opinion of the members
present that the city ought to do any
thing which would add to the pleasure
and entertainment of the visitors.
The^parade will probably be held in
the afternoon and all the Knights of
Pythias will get in line.

History teaches us that Hudson, in
his trip up the river which bears his

embellishments by man have made
