Following the automobile parade a concert was given by the Pullman band on the reviewing stand at the

I east entrance to the court huuse.

During the concerts dances of the sceral nations were depicted by the urpsiehorian artists in their homeland costumes. This feature of the centennial has been proving attractive to the crowds which have been assembling daily uptown during the a ftcrnuon. There was an unusual crowd of former hlh school students at th alumni tea given in the new high school building at ." o'clock. It was expected to hold the reception in tlif domestic science rooms of the building, but these would not hold the number of old graduates and school attendants who returned for

.'the reunion. Among those attended

was Mrs. Walter lerr of this city, the only member of the class of the hrst ever graduated from the juth Pend high school. Every class which has gone from the high school was represented down to that of 1J 1 6. Dedicate Tablet. The hi? feature of yesterday morning's program was the ceremonies in connection with the dedication of the bronze tablet marking the former home of the late Schuyler olfax. ice president of the t'nited Stutes. founder of the Ilebekah degne of Odd Fellowship, and one of South lienJ's most rerowncd citizens. The ceremonies, which were a tribute to the former statesman and citizen were impressive. State officials of the Kebekah lodge and members of the local organization conducted the services. Schuyler Colfax, son of the former vice president, himself at one time mayor of South Pend, participated in the services and made a short address. The principal ad-

The Pullman band again demonstrated its popularity yesterday afternoon in the second concert of the centennial, which was given on the reviewing stand or. the east side of the court house at 4 o'clock. The concert was the best that has been given here of late years, and the large crowd that heard the band seemed to appreciate tho music. A crowd of at least 7,000 people were gathered around the stand In an effort to hear the band, and to witness the dances of the nations that followed the concert. A choice program was selected by Pireetor J. P. Hostrawser In yesterday's concert. The selection "Der Freyschutz" opened the program, and was followed by "Pas des Fleures." Avhich proved to he very popular. The Hawaiian farewell song. "Aloha Oe," made a decided hit with the audience, as d'd the military march, "American Patrol." A bass olo, "Sweet and L.o.-.," also won muih applause. At the end of the musical numbers the dances of the nations were presented by several adults and school children of the city. All of the dancers were attired in the tire-ss of the country they represented, and every dance was a success. The sword danco by eight young men was one of the most f pectacular. These dancers were dressed in white and carried sword, executing many ditllcult steps in a creditable manI. er. An old fashioned minuet dance also was performed exceptionally well. Other dances on the program were an English dance, a Putch danco by eicht dancers in wooden shoe, and a dance by eight liP.le Polish dancers. Another concert and different folk dances will be given this afternoon at the same place, following the parade.

tall of the pageant. The use of these trucks was generously given by the owners. The drivers have shown their personal interest by attention to the children and using every effort to see that they were conveyed to and from the grounds in safety. As a result of their attention and care praise is being accorded them by persons connected with the centennial celebration. These trucks will be on duty with the same drivers until the pageant ends. Expressions from the many who witnessed the program of South Pend centennial celebration thus far are that the event has passed the experimental stage and from all sides come praise for the processional pageants and the great historical pageant which proved a success with its first public appearance. Peciuso of the magnitude of the project there were many "Poubting Thomases" but the production in the common vernacular has made a -hit."
