EIGHT MEN TAKEN IN RAID. Police Break Into Alleged Gambling House in Manhattan. Fourth Deputy Police Commissioner Dillon, with Lieutenant Northrop and a dozen detectives, yesterday afternoon descended on an alleged gambling house on Forty-third street, between Broadway and Eighth avenue, Manhattan, and arrested eight men. The raid had been carefully planned and the detectives were placed on the roof and in the rear of the premises to prevent escape of any of the persons In the building, which was a private house. Detectives on the roof chopped their way through a scuttle, while others broke down the street door.

The root scuttle had been heavily barred and it was a matter of difficulty to break open the iron bars to force an entrance. As the Commissioner went up the front stoop and knocked on the door, a peephole was opened in the door. Admission was demanded, but it was refused, so the police chopped the door down. Eight prisoners were taken on warrants made out in the name of their alleged respective vocations. All were charged with being common gamblers.

The police say they found $1,013 in the house. HAVE YOU PAID WATER RATE? Unless You Do Tomorrow You Will Be Penalized--Good Showing So Far.

SUNDAY. JULY 30. 1911. the GREAT PAGEANT, 20,000 IN LINE, CROWNS NEW LOTS CELEBRATION All East New York Participates in Commemoration of Annexation of Old Town to Brooklyn 25 Years Ago -All Atlantic Avenue Decorated -Athletic Events and Prizes--Civic Demonstration a Tremendous Success. On the night of August 15, 1860, Oscar Doresmus, Samuel Palmer, Frank and Judge Howard, who died not long ago, met in Doresmus' carpenter shop, then at Atlantic and Van Sielen avenues, and suggested organizing a fire company to protect lives and property in the locality.

These men were powers, political and otherwise, and their ideas carried SO much weight that the same night the Americus Engine Company, No. 1, was organized. Just one year later the organization, of thirty -four active firefighters, held a ball In Zobb's Hotel, on the old Jamaica Plank road. Since then the vamps have held celebrations to observe the growth of the community and the anniversaries of historical events. But the celebration which was held yesterday in old East New York, and which marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the annexation of New Lots to Brooklyn, showed in an impressive way what a wonderful community old New Lots really 1s.

To the present day generation New Lots is better known as East New York. And "outsiders" who saw the celebration yesterday, which lasted from after breakfast until early this morning, realized perhaps for the first time that East New York was virtually a city in itself. The feature of the celebration was a pageant SO great that it took more than two hours to pass a given point. There were something like 20,000 persons in line and something like 70,000 persons, most of residents of East New York, were gathered along the line of march, SO was the Interest and enthusiasm of the local residents. All Atlantic Avenue Decorated and Planned for Celebration.

For several weeks everybody along Atlantic avenue, the main thoroughfare, had been busy, decorating and planning to make a good showing. The New Lots Exempt Firemen's Association, the successor of the old Americus Company by the process of evolution, took the matter in hand. The members of this company include some of the famous "oldtimes" who have helped to make New Lots, or East New York, grow, and to them rightly belongs the credit for the great demonstration of yesterday. Every building was decorated and when the great day came the crowds were early on the scenes of festivities, decked out in glad array and ready to co-operate in every way possible. The day began with a card of athletic events, participated in by local athletes who made fine showings, and by "imported" ahtletes who ran under the rules of the A.

A. U. But the great event was the procession. It began in the Cypress Hills section and came down Atlantic avenue to Alabama avenue, where a detour was made and side streets were utilized to disband the marchers. A grandstand, erected at Atlantic and Pennsylvania avenues, contained some of the representative citizens of New Lots, who reviewed the parade, and Justice Edward A.

Richards of an old East New York family, presented two fine flags to the summer schools which the best showing in point of numbers and appearance. The procession represented every phase of life in New Lots and it showed also the loyal sympathy and tion of communities beyond its confines. The members of the New Lots Exempt Firemen's Association, 99 strong, marched with their contemporaries from old Williamsburg, Flatlands, Flatbush, Jamaica, Woodhaven, Old Mill. Paterson, N. J.

The old firefighters were lustily cheered and the honors of the day went to them. And they deserved them, too. These oldtimes mingled with the new element brought into the community by the onward march of progress, and presented the old and the new and showed how the small beginnings of things in old New Lots Town had developed and prospered. Old John Mogarth, who has been one of the most conscientious members of the New Lots Exempts for years and who was at one time a member of the city's Fire Department, was grand marshal of the entire pageant.

Almirall, one of Brooklyn's best-known and highly respected citizens, died at the Johns Hopkins Hospital 111 Baltimore Friday, as the result of an operation.

The social and fraternal organizations of the section, the Concordia Singing Society, whose fame as a harmony organization has spread all over the world; the Liberty Guards, the young women members of families of the old war veterans; the Clover Rangers, the Agonists and other organizations that have played a part in the social and fraternal life of the old town, also appeared in the second division. There were marching tableau, such as "The Spirit of which was faithfully reproduced by friends of members of the Atlantic Avenue Business Men's and Taxpayers Association, and the members of the local Democratic organizations, which, under the leadership of James P. Sinnott, had more than 2,000 sturdy voters in line. The Republican and Independence League organizations marched.

The New Lots Protective and Taxpayers Association and the New Lots Board of Trade, which have been fighting long and hard for the improvement of the section. followed the styles of the days, and rode in farm wagons, clad in the garb of those who tilled the soil and formed the nucleus of the present thriving, bustling community. One of their farm wagons had in it the cow of old New Lots--the cow that was an important factor in the early, struggling days; the cow that has given the city police of the new life so much trouble by her old -fashioned habit of wandering about the newly- paved streets. But the multitudes accepted old Bossie as the emblem of New Lots and hailed her accordingly.

The oldest mason of Brownsville, who was there almost before any houses were bullt, was in line with all his paraphernalia and a good reproduction of ye olde smoky chimney which he pointed in days of old. After them came the business wagons of the newer life.

The members of the Atlantic Avenue Business Mens Association presented a big silk flag and a smaller celebration banner for the schools that the best showing. Schcol No. 149, which is at Vermont street and Sutter avenue, in charge of Harry Katz, director of summer work there, turned out some 3,000 children.

The youngsters presented a fine appearance, and the little boys and girls showed a pride in their institutions that impressed the older folk along the line of march.

New York Yesterday, Show Floats, history of their young lives. Municipal Court Justice Edward A. Richards, who was asked by the committee to award the first and second prizes, decided a that 149 tee was entitled to the big silk American flag. After the youngsters had passed in review before the grandstand, at Atlantic and Pennsylvania avenues, they were marched back again. many as could be were lined up before Judge Richards and the committee's guests on the grandstand.

The three thousand lusty, enthusiastic youngsters sang "America" and saluted the flag. Judge Richards, in a short speech, congratulated them on their a appearance and told them a few things about patriotism and local pride that touched all who heard them, and then presented the flag. It seemed, then, a8 if every one of the children regarded the winning of the flag by the school as a personal triumph, and the cheering and singing were heard, it was afterward reported, almost a mile away. The second prize was awarded to the summer school which holds forth at Public School No. 158, at Warwick street and Belmont avenue.

The credit for the capture of second prize, and, indeed. for the appearance of the school in the procession, is due to Miss Clara Auerbach, who Is only 16 years old, and to her 12- year-old sister, Helen, who attend the school and take an interest in it. Strange to relate, not one of the teachers showed up to chaperone or direct the school, and the two young girls took it upon themselves to engineer the whole business. The showing, considering the situation, was nothing short of wonderful, and the girls were praised by the committeemen and the spectators who learned the a situation. Miss Clara marched proudly at the head of the school with the celebration banner, and her little charges cheered and applauded her and some of the tots even insisted on bestowing many hugs and kisses.

Boys of Junior Hook and Ladder Company Make a Showing. An interesting portion of the parade contained the' Junior Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, which is made up entirely of boys between the ages of 12 and 15 years. With little Harry Katrowitch, their captain and chief, at the head, the boys, clad in red blouses and fire-fighting helmets, drew along behind them a miniature hook and ladder truck, which was constructed by old George Kruger, a Vamp. The lads.

emulating the example and reflecting the spirit of their forefathers, were enthusiastically greeted along the line of march. The leader proudly carried in his silver megaphone the big bouquet presented to the "company" by the residents of East New York. The reviewing stand contained Municipal Justice Richards, who awarded the flag prizes for the parade showings; former Senator A. J. Gilchrist, Dr.

A. D. Meyerburg, the Rev. Father James Brady, curate of St. Malachy's R.
