This Day in History: 1935-02-03

The Sunday sky jumping competition at Salisbury Mills in Connecticut attracted many spectators from Mahwah.  Among those reported to have watched the meet were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Harris, Mrs. Charles McReady, Mrs. Arthur Burger, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mabie and son Hilton and Mr. and Mrs. Horace Ritter.  The Ritters had a busy weekend since they had attended a performance of “The Great Waltz” and dined in Chinatown the day before.  Of course the fact that their daughter and Mary were spending the weekend with friends in Brooklyn might have had something to do with their being freed for those two days.
