The Fourth IN Kenosha.

|
Ball Association had two good games, the
Outing Committee of the Y M. G. A. had
its second annual field day, the society of
st. MichaePs on the north side gave
large picnic, and the German Lutheran
church held its annual picnic in the City
Park.
The Field Day OF the Y. M. C. A had
most of the celebration in it, as the fore
noon was devoted to Bishop Fallows' ora
ton, Reading the Declaration of Independ-
ence by Mrs. Bradford, and other exercises
of that nature. The Bishop arrived on the
$50 a. m. train, and was escorted to the
grounds by the G. A. R., preceded by the
Salem Cornet Band with a few gentlemen in
carriages. The program was carried out
according to schedule. The people of Ke-
nosha who missed Bishop Fallows' grafton
missed the grandest Grafton that has been
delivered in Kenosha for long time Be-
tween 800 and 1000 people attended the
exercises and enjoyed the Grafton immense
ly. The orator touched upon the peaceful
results of the late struggle and growing
sympathy manifested between the different
sections of the country. He reminded his
hearers of the vast cost of the war in blood
and treasure, and pointed out the vaster re-
suits whica have and are to accrue from it,
He spoke ringing words of loyalty and pa
triotism about the monsters which raise
their horrible heads and threaten our in
situations with Gamma Gaelism, Commun-
ism and Anarchy. He reminded his hear
ers that this country has grown chiefly from
foreign emigration and the ,hildren of for
eign immigrants, but reminded them that
when in this country they must be Ameri-
cans and no one but Americans are wanted
here. The audience frequently interrupted
him with hearty applause Mrs. Mary
| Bradford read the Declaration of Independ-
ence in her usual good taste and style.
