Abstract
- The article commemorates on the first New Year's Eve ball drop in Times Square, New York City on December 31, 1907. It cites that it was one of the most popular celebrations worldwide which was initiated and organized by Alfred Ochs in 1904. It notes that the scheme evidently worked, since about 200,000 people reportedly went in the area until the severe weather condition event in 1907 which affected the holiday festivities.
