Our Nafnl DaY.

The Fourth of July was properly observed by the people of this val ley, and despite tine extreme heat, considerable enthusiasm was raised. The Fourth was ushered in by the firing of anvils on the plaza and one or two other portions of town. The display of fireworks by our diff ferent merchants on the evenings of the Sd and 4th was grand, and coa- tinued nearly the entire nights. With races and rallies, picnics and fishing parties, ending up with a grand ball on Thursday evening, the reo- pie enjoyed themselves to their hearts desire. The ball at the Pa vilion was a very brilliant affair about sixty couples participating. An elegant supper was served in the two restaurants at midnight.
 RACING.
 Four horses were entered for the race of the 3d-a mile dash for a purse of $50 and entrance money. "Black John" was the winner.
 On the Fourth, a quarter r-mile dash between Miss Coon Foot and " Robert Lee" for a purse of S75 and entrance money was won by the former, a Yavapai county animal, although the latter had the lead for over half the distance. On both days the crowd at the track was very large, numbering several hundred people daily. The race course is two miles east of town and is said to be the finest in the Terri tory.
