Tokio, Oct. 10.
One of the most impressive and extraordinary sights ever witnessed in Tokio was to be seen this afternoon, when 12,000 Japanese Sunday-school boys and girls, in gay kimonos—most of them tots whose ages ranged from four to 1—accompanied by thousands of their teachers and parents, and a band, walked in procession through the streets, singing and carrying emblematic banners of red, pink, yellow and blue. The route started at Hibiya Park and ended at the main gate of the Palace.
Yesterday evening a concert was held in the Iuiperial Theatre, where the stage was filled with chorus of 1,000 young Japanese men and women, and the band of the Imperial Navy.
The Convention is proceeding successfully, and is being attended by many prominent Japanese.
Simultaneously with the rally, in Hibiya Park, there was a rally: of 3,000 Buddhist children in Shiba Park.
