July Fourth.

The sun concluded to Join the peo-
pie last Monday and celebrate the
glorious Fourth, and he did his part
in right good old fashioned style.
He began skirmishing with mercury
but it stood 10 chance and was sent
to about 80 in the streets. The gov
eminent mercury, in the shade, on
top of three story building, stood
the contest much better, and rose only
to 49, During the forenoon and part
Of the afternoon there was but very
little breeze and the heat was decided
ly unpleasant.
In this city, there was no formal
celebration, with street parade, speech
es, ETC., but, instead, there were vari.
Gus amusements.
About nine o'clock the steamer
Golden Eagle, loaded with excursion
lists. cleared for Thunder Bay Island,
en- her first trip. The tug Sumner
also took a load Of passengers to the
same place. AT the island n variety
Of amusements had been provided.
First came game of base ball be-
tween the Mystics and Stars, which
resulted in the Mystics making score
of Is and the Stars score Of IL.
One Of the events of the day was the
sailboat race. There were four en-
tries, az follows: Belle, owned by
Davis Celia, owned by Captain Per-
sons; Sea Foam, owned by Davis,
and Red Cloud, owned by +. w.
Fletcher. The stake was $50. The
course was a triangular one-some
ten miles in length. Opposite the
life saving station was anchored the
stake boat, the course from there lay
easterly for about three miles to a
buoy then to the can buoy of
North Point, and then to the stake
boat. The sailboats had to beat to
the first buoy, then had wind abeam
to the can buoy, and, on the home
stretch, had the wind aft. A good
fresh breeze prevailed. The Red
Cloud passed the stake boat at 3:l4
the Belle at 3:15; the Celia at 3:15:5 ;
the Sea Foam at 3:l6:5. Some other
sail boats also started with the racers,
but only one. the Sea Bird, sailed the
entire course. The race was u lively
one and was well contested and the
prize was won by the Belle which
reached the stake boat at 1888. The
Celia arrived at 3;44; the Red Cloud
at 3:45., and the Sea Foam at 3:45i.
After the race was over, the life
saving crew at Thunder Bay Island
gave an exhibition Of the way in which
LIE line Is thrown To wrecked ves'
sci and sailors taken ashore. II was
interesting.
There is 10 wharf at Thunder Bay
Island, consequently the excursionists
had to be transferred to and from the
steamers by the surf boat and the
sail boats. When some Of the excur-
sionists were being transferred from
the island to the tug Sumner, by sail
boats, there was lively scene. The
wind was fresh, the waves risky, and
as the boat. dashed through the aves,
they threw considerable spray over

During the afternoon a matinee
performance was given by the Metro
politan theatrical troupe. The play
was "The Bankers Daughter" and
in the evening, the same troupe rem
dered "The Hidden Hand" The
Opera House was damned full Of spec
tators at the evenings performance.
Shortly after dark, another large
crowd of cities had assembled at the
roller rink, at which place there were
races, roller skating, sack race and
other amusements.
The ladies Of Trinity parish served
dinner, and supper TO their many
friends in the corner store Of the
Mason block. Many tables were
spread, the room handsomely decorat-
ed with evergreens, and bounte-
Gus repast served. They were ex-
tensively patronized.
The fire cracker nuisance was not
as extensive as OH other Fourths, but
some of the dangerous firebrands were
set of, and in the evening, fire balloons,
Roman candles, wheels and other
fireworks were set off OH Second
street, but fortunately no damage was
done.
a very enjoyable dance took place
at the German hall, on Dock street,
during the night.
1t is rumored that the dealers in ice
cream, soda water, ginger ale, ETC.,
had engaged the sun to shed an un-
usual amount of caloric, 50 as to
cause demand for cooling drinks.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1886-07-07

the passengers, and many of them
were baptised quite extensively. Then
when the sailboats got alongside the
Sumner, the fun commenced. The
waves caused the sailboats TO dance
up and down considerably, and the
work of handing the ladies from the
sailboats to the tug, was not a very
pleasant ono--to the ladies. Two
men OH the Sumner would grasp the
arms of lady, and then with some
assistance from men in the boat, she
was hoisted aboard. In some cases,
when the lady was ready to be lifted
aboard the Sumner, the sailboat would
sink in the trough Of the sea, and
leave the representative Of the fair
sex suspended. Then the boat would
be suddenly raised by wave, and
those on board would lend a helping
hand, and the fair freight landed in
safety on the sumner II was fun
and misery combined, but no one was
the worse for the adventure, and it
tended TO make the excursion leng to
be remembered by the many specta-
tors.
In the city, those who remained,
and there were many thousand, enjoy.
ed themselves IN various ways. Some
were out riding, some were sauntering
about, others went to Recreation park,
but the most sought out shady hooks
and cool beezes and tried to keep cool,
but did not succeed until late in the
afternoon, when cool, pleasant breeze
sprang up from the lake.
For the benefit Of the base ball EN-.
thusiasts, G.. F. Perkins had made
arrangements whereby the score Of
the two base ball matches, at Detroit,
between the Detroits and New Yorks,
was received by innings. AS soon as
the scores arrived, they were bulletin
ed Oh the board in front Of Mr.. Per.
kins' drug store. In the forenoon
game, at the end Of the seventh in
nings. the score was to / in favor of
the New York club, and the many
admirers of the Detroit club, did not
feel very pleasant. The next two in
nings the Detroits made I and won
the game by score of to 6. The
Detroits admirers felt better. The
afternoon game was somewhat similar.
At the end of the seventh innings the
score was to 6 in favor of the New
Yorks, but in the next two innings
the Detroits made 5 and won the
game by score of II to 10. The
rejoicing was great, and was increas-
ed when a dispatch was bulletined an
nouncing that the Chicagoes had been
laid out by a score 6 to l in favor Of
the Bostons.
At two o'clock in the afternoon,
large number of citizens pilgrimaged
towards the trotting course to see the
races. The races resulted rs follows

A sad accident happened here about
10 o'clock Monday, in the drowning
of two boys, named Henry Pfeiffer,
aged IA years, and Oliver Farrier,
aged 8 years. Four boys, who live
about five miles from here, and not
familiar with the river, went in bath
ing, and all of them got into deep
hole below the dam. Jacob Niergarth
hearing them scream fastened to the
scene just in time to pull out two, but
the other two had disappeared and
were not taken out Of the water for
about half an hour, and we're both
dead, but the first two will undoubt-
eddy recover.
Two bowery dances were running,
but very poorly attended as the major
ity of the crowd went to Brush Lake,
where Jas. ID. Hubert has n dance
hall, also several boats.
On Saturday last another accident
happened on Long Lake, in this coun-
ty. A man named Thos. Allen, and
his wife were out fishing in boat,
and in the act of picking up his gun
that was lying in front of him, with
the muzzle toward him, the hammer
caught and the whole charge of shot
went into his wrist and came out at
the elbow. Doctors Harwood and
H.E.Dunlop amputated the arm Mt the
elbow.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
am glad of your criticism of my letter in
Saturdays Journal, and I must say it is a mar
vel of moderation, viewing the matter from your
stand point alone. / made it more caustic than
my own Judgment sanctioned, in order to accom-
pish what it has-calling attention more fully
to the matters involved With your permission,
it opens the way to get attention to some things
wanted to say. But should first say that you
mistake the chief point or occasion Of my criti-
cism. Not SO much By half through the press
out of 1t and personally have MEM
bers of the School Board been urged
to do what those urging 1t themselves
would not sanction, and what the Journal
itself has opposed, for it Endorsed the erection Of
