Casa Grarde Notes.

lOuS republic should manifest thelr patriotism and show their devotion to their country and flag by some fit ting celebration. Imbibed with this idea and fired by the spirit of the oc- casion the worthy citizens of Casa Grande met and organized committees whose duty it was to see a celebration was properly conducted. That their efforts met with well deserved success an account of the celebration will show.
 Of course the usual contingent of small boy was present and the day was ushered in to the accompaniment of the music of fireworks and bomb.
 A stand profusely decorated with flags and bunting had been erected in the yard at the Fryer Hotel and here early in the day the people assembled to listen to the literary and musical programme. The following pro- gramme was rendered in an accept able manner, Mr. Jesse F. Mayhew acting as president of the day:
 1.-Music, "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean," by glee club.
 2.-Reading of Declaration of Inde- pendence, by A. H. Elliott.
 3.-"Star Spangled Banner" by glee club.
 4-Oration, by Thos. Tomlinson.
 5.-Anthem, America" by glee club and audience.
 MT. Elliott gave his reading in an able and spirited manner, and the ringing words of the glorious Declar- ation called out considerable enthusi- asm.
 The oration by Thos. Tomlinson was an able and scholarly effort deliv- cred in the easy grace and in the pol ished language of the finished orator. The speaker was frequently interrupt | ed by the plaudits of his audience. MT. Tomlinson destroyed the manu- script of his oration so it is impossible to obtain the full text.
 The glee club rendered some ex- cellent music it was composed of the following persons Mrs. T. Tomlinson, organist and Messrs. B. B. DeNure, Hugh Chalmers, Wm. Kinney, Frank Young, $. A. Bellinger, H. A. Chap | lin.
 The afternoon was devoted to horse racing at the track. The cream of races was captured by r. Souva' s horse "Silver Tail" Some dissatis- faction was expressed at one decision of the judges, but on reinvestigation by committee the judges were sus- tained. The judges were Dr. T. H. Sabin. J. Champion and George Key holds.
 Excellent dinners, provided by MT. J. W. Harrington, of the Fryer Hotel and NJ. M. Hickey at his popular res taurant, next claimed tho attention of the hungry and thirsty and proved not the least enjoyable of the days events if appearances are not deceit ful.
 The fireworks in the evening, con- sidering the amount of material, were credit to any town, but the pleasure of the occasion was marred by the ac. cidents that befell two gentlemen in charge. MT. Fred Adams was quite severely burned about the hands and wrists by premature explosion and c. L. Scribner fell from temporary staging sustaining a severe sprain ol the small bones of the foot from the effects of which he is still suffering. l A bail given in Smiths new build i ing completed the festivities of the day. About thirty couples were pres ent and very pleasant time was had The music was furnished by Prof MI ey as floor manager. The supper fol the ball was furnished by MT. J. w Harrington of the Fryer Hotel.
 The celebration was success ano a credit to a much larger place thar Casa Grande which is but anothei evidence of the energy and activity O her citizens.
