Wilfred Conard.1 " Not only was the weather marvelously favorable to the occasion, but the municipality of Chester contributed much to its completeness. The gracious welcome of Mayor Ward, delivered in the old town hall, offered us the freedom of the City. Our great cavalcade of automobiles (more than a hundred of them and twice as many as were expected) was escorted through the streets by the Chief of Police, in person, and his presence was an adequate assurance against red lights and traffic regulations. And so our visit to the ancient landmarks of Penn's coming to Pennsylvania was made under most fortunate conditions.
