Never before in the history of Alma
has there been more successful cele.
bration of the nations birthday than
the one just passed. For last Saturday
the town donned its holiday attire.
Evergreens made Superior street one
long bower while the hundreds of yards
of bunting displayed on private resi-
dences and business places lent bril-
liant color to the scene. Early in the
morning wagons loaded with people
began pouring in from the county and
every train brought more to swell the
crowd. The event of the day was the
speech of Rev. Washington Gardner of
Albion college. All unite in pronounc-
ing it the finest address ever delivered
here. The afternoon program was
fully carried out. The Business Mems
Parade was especially interesting. The
procession, nearly half of mile long,
was headed by Decatur Coleman's out
fit, a new Advance separator, upon
which was the Alma band, drawn by a
large traction engine, followed by every
important industry in the town. The
parade lasted until four when the races
were called. The fremen's race was
won by Hose Co. No. 2, time Al seconds.
The horse race, running, was taken by
horse owned by Marshall Dallas
while Gypsy carried off the honors
in the slow race. Fred Avery proved
the Heetest in the 100 yard foot race.
The fast bicycle race was won by Lee
Clair of Shepherd and the slow race by
Ralph Ely while the $500 on the sack
race was captured by George Cowles.
This ended the sports for the day.
The crowd, however felt no disposition
to go home. A brilliant display of fire.
works had been promised and they
wanted to see them-snd they did.
When the last rocket had made its
ascent heavenward the crowd went
heme satisfied with the days sport and
the effort Alma had made to entertain
her guests.
