NEW CASTLE, June 16 "A big mass
mass meeting Of citizens will be held in
the old Court House tomorrow evening
at 8 o'clock to arrange for grand, un-
precedented and elaborate celebration Of
the ''glorious Fourth" The meeting
will be called to order by Mayor Wilmer
Panson, after which an organization
will be at once effected A subscription
list will then be opened aud committees
appointed to complete the work. The
intention is to have the celebration far
surpass the one held here two years ago,
which proved complete success.
The matter has been quietly worked on
for sometime by Joseph E. Vantine who
has received the hearty cooperation of
the mayor and many other prominent
citizens who intend to heartily support
the project. All the secret societies and
other organizations are especially re-
quested to attend or send representatives
to the meeting as help from this quar-
ter will be greatly needed. Many people
have already offered sums Of money, but
as the citizens have not yet authorized or
appointed anybody to collect the same,
they have not been received, but the
donors were informed Of the mass meet
ing, and that as soon as the meeting is
organized the subscription list will be
opened.
New and attractive features will be in
troduced this year that cannot fail TO
please everybody. One of the most inter-
esting features will be a game of base
ball on the new park. Manager Whit
lock announces that he has arranged to
have the TLurlow club of Chester play
here on that day The athletic sports in
! the afternoon will comprise slde-split-
ting races between colored and
white men in all sorts of
ridiculous shapes and tug-of war
between married and single men. Mr..
Vantine will also introduce, in the grand
street parade, one of the most complete
burlesques that has ever been seen here.
"The Pioneer Skrew Guzzle Co.. the
Dobbinsville Blues, the Shawtown Grays
and the Bull Hill Rangers, will all form
part of this novel feature 1t is earnestly
hoped that every body will attend the
meeting, with purse in hand, and ready
tosput their shoulders to the wheel. The
business can be transacted in few min
utes, and there will be no excuse for non
attendance, either in person or by repre-
sentatives.
