point on the 4th, the committee have
delayed issuing the programme of the
days sports until the Sd. so as to
arrange the different games in such
manner that no two will conflict,
thus giving people an opportunity to
witness everything that transpires on
that day. This is commendable
foresight OIL the part OF the committee.
During ahe past week three new
bicycles have been received, and at
least two more of those ordered will
arrive before the 4th. One of these
was an American Challenge, 52-inch,
enamelsd, for Arthur Weston; one
for Henry NJ. Murphy, an American
Champion, 52-inch, full nickled; the
other is the property Of f. S. Horton,
a 5O-inch American Light Champion,
tangent-spokes and full nickled. No
finer wheeles than these can be found
anywhere on the Coast.
The foot race on the 4th promises to
be one of great merit. Among those
who have announced their intentions
of entering the race are three from
Olympia proper, one from Westside
who is said to be good stopper, and
an Eastside young man who has been
in training for several weeks. An In
dian has also declared his intention to
try to walk off with the prize. If all
these enter, the race will not only be
well-contested, but one of unusual in
terest. No doubt much "side money"
will change hands.
Mrs. w. w. Work died at her resi-
dence in this city on Monday night,
after a brief illness. Deceased was
daughter of DR.. N. Ostrander, and has
resided in this city for many years.
She was highly esteemed by all who
know her for her noble traits of char
acter, and her departure will be
by large circle of friends.
The funeral took place ON Wcdnes-
day at l o'clock P. NJ. and was one of
the largest seen in Olympia for many
days. fully attesting the deep regard
felt toward her in the community.
Columbia Hall was again crowded
to its fullest capacity on Friday even
ing last, it being the occasion of the
complimentary benefit rendered to
Miss Stella Galliher, of Tacoma. The
appreciation of the people of Olympia
was thus fittingly manifested toward
this deservedly popular young lady,
who, with great trouble to herself, ar
ranged her business in Tacoma so that
she might spend each alternate even
ing in this city instructing the men,
bers of the St. John Musical Society in
their parts in the operas recently pre-
sented.
It was thought last week that the
order Of procession for the 4th OF
July celebration, as well as the line of
would be prepared and in
readiness for publication in this issue.
Unforeseen obstacles, however, have |
presented themselves, and at this
time the committee are still left in
doubt "a to several items, and do not |
feel at liberty to make an announce
ment until these points are settled.
Still enough information has been
gained to warrant the statement that
the procession at our celebration will
be one that would do credit to any
city in the Northwest. One novel
feature that is being prepared will
be quite attractive. 1t has
been stated that the Olympia Bicycle !
Club, which represents an outlay of
over 81 900 in wheels, will take their
position at the rear of the procession,
giving them an opportunity to execute
many pleasing and effective maneu- |
vers along the line of march. This
will be something entirely new in
parades of this kind and as there will
probably be from eight to ten wheels
in the club ON that day, and all man.
aged by clever riders, it promises to
be one of the most unique displays to
be seen anywhere.
