| nivsrsaries have not iR any degree Ilessened tho interest and enthusiasm
 which is every year manifested in the
 celebration. The people of Globe did
 themselves proud on Saturday. Il
 was day that will long be remem,
 bered with pleasure by our citizens
 and ethe stranger within our gates.
 The day was ushered in by the firing
 of fsu de joie which awoke the
 echoes on the surrounding hills us
 well as the slumbering inhabitants oi
 our mountain village. The salute was
 followed by tbe playing of several na'
 tional airs by the Globe City Brass 1 Band, which were well rendered
 As the day advanced the heat be-
 came oppressive, but it did not deter
 people from turning out to witness
 the horse races. There was disposi-
 ton among horse owners to go down
 to Miami to try c0neluaons, but a
 majority of them wore prevailed upon
 to remain and the races, with one ex-
 ception, took place on Broad Street,
 and were witnessed by a throng of | people There were many amusing
 incidents which kept the crowd in | good humor and occasionally spirited
 betting was lndulged in. The Cline
 boys from Tonto ran three horses,
 winning two of the races and making draw of the third. This was a beau
 tiful race between Clins's gray and
 Maxwell's sorrel. A dispute arose over the result and it was finally agreed by tho owners to divide the purse. James Hazards bay pony
 won two races and there were other contests, the winners of which we did not ascertain.
 At six o'clock the 100 yard foot race came off on the grounds of Dr. Stallo. There wore five contestants, Richard Boyd, Floyd Blevens, John Delartge, James Anderson and Peters. There was little speculation on the result, it being considered foregone eonclu- sion that either Boyd or Blevens would win. It was, therefore, a great sur prise to the spectators when Delartge breasted the line first, a few inches ahead of Boyd.
 At seven o'clock, the hour set for the speaking to commence, very large audience bad eongregated at Dr. Stallo's. After the playing of an over ture by the band, Rev, F. w. Johnson made an appropriate prayer. Hon. Alonzo Bailey, the first speaker, then delivered an able address, in which he reviewed the causes which led to our separation from the mother country and pictured the stirring scenes which, were witnessed iu the colonies enc hundred and nine years ago. The ad- dress was listened to attentiyely by the audience. j. II. Hamill then read the Declaration of Independence, pro clamation that shaped tho destiny of America and gave us recognition among the nations of the world.
 Dr. Alex. Trippel delivered the con. eluding address, which a,bounded in pertinent allusio1s and witicisms. It was well received and elicited liberal The pieces rendered by the band during the exercises were pleas ing iaterludes and the singing of My Country 'tis of Thee in winch the audience joined, was an appropri- ate ending.
 While preparations were being made for the pyrotechnic display the children repaired to the school house, and un. der the direction of Professor scan- land, formed in procession and each one bearing a Chinese lantern, they marched back to Dr. Stallo's grounds It was a pleasing sight, as the children came in view of the audience, just when bursting rockets Roman cam dies, pin wheels etc, iIluninated the scene with all the brilliant hues of the spectrum. The children were wild with delight and could not restrain themselves The display comprised 176 pieces and was by far the finest ex- hibition of fireworks ever witnessed in Globe, many of the pieces being beau tiful. When the last rocket had spent it's brilliaRcy the audience reluctantly A large number of them, however, repaired to the skating rink, where dance appropriately rounded out the festivities. Dance followed dance in rapid succession, until weari ness of the flesh compelled tho guests to desist,
 Altogether 1t was pleasant Fourth | and expressions of satisfaction were general, MT Edward Lynes is enti. lied to the thanks of the community 1 for his able management of the cele. 1 bration and pr, T. c. Stallo and J. ". 1 Ransome also assisted, Tn no small 1 measure, towards it's success.
