Next came the display of T. A.
Callahan machine agent as follows;
J. 1. Case Engine and tender,
American Road machine, (the one
with which the race track was made
Milwaukee Steel Jr., No.1O Harvester
and binder, Milwaukee Chain Drive
mower, Emmerson and Tolcott
Standard mower, Empire mower,
sulkey plow, hay rake, Daisy buggy
and Henney Duplex wagon. This
was very creditable display of farm
machinery.
Next in order was the House i
Youngquist farm machinery and
Buggies as follows. Advance Engine
and tender, LaBelle wagon, Newton
wagon, Deering self binder, Plano
self binder, Deering mower, Plano
mower, Red White and Blue mower,
Gang plow, johnson hay rake, six
carriages and buggies of various
makes, filled with young Ladies'
dressed in white. A head of the
ladies was wagon filed with the
homliest men they could find in town,
wearing plug hats, but they made
such contrast to the ladies that we
decline to notice them. This whole
train was drawn by one engine,
and the greatest mystery to us was,
how such long train could turn the
corners of the streets. 1t not only
done that, but the engineer who
niged the whole affair u. A. Rose
an expert of the Advance thresher
Co.,-made up the whole train Of
machinery in the House 3 Young
quilt mammoth ware house and took
it out QUE of the doors turning every
crook and corner as easily as an
ordinary man would handle a two
horse team. This was the most
elaborate display in the parade.
The machinery exhibition was the
most attractive part of the parade to
farmers. Tho to the boys and all
fun lovers, the mounted Plug Uglies
had the greatest attraction. The
citizens did not turn out well neither
did the civic societies. The Ancient
Order of Hibernians was about the
only one worth naming; they made a
very creditable display as they always
do: they turned out in good force.
and looked fine in their uniforms.
The Sons of Veterans also looked well
mounted.
After the parade all went to the
Court House where there was an open
air meeting, entertained by the
Morris Choral Union with the Star
Spangled Banner and America. The
declaration of independence was read
by Mr. Darlington Phelps;after which
we listened to one of the best 4th OF
July orations it was ever our pleasure
to hear, by Mr.. Hilsher of Willmar
The other exercises of the morning
consisted partly in game of base
ball between the End nine of Morris
and the Darnen nine; which resulted
in victory for Darnen 8 to 7. Ant
a race to catch pig by the tail
the victor was Joseph Smith.
