ana was prOtusely decorated with
flags and bunting. A large banner
with the words Welcome" inscribed
was strung across the street between
the bank and Mr.. Bennewitz's build
ing. A little after ten O'Clock the
procession formed on Court House
Square under the direction Of Sheriff
John Kivel, the marshal OF the day,
and Albert Vine, the assistant mar
shall. The procession was headed by
the Warren Silver Cornet Band, fol-
lowed by the speakers and officers OF
the doy, then came the decorated
wagon containing the A. young
ladies representing the different
states OF the union, each lady carry
ing flag and the name OF a state in
large letters on her cap, and next
came citizens in carriages and on
foot, forming u mighty procession.
Arriving at the City Park the exer-
cises were carried out as announced
last week, Hon. L. G. Wood presid-
ing. After the music by the band
and a song by the Glee Club, Mr.. A.
Grindeland read the Declaration OF
Independencein very effective man
ner. TWAS well read. The "A young
ladies arose and sang "Guard the
Flag, and at appropriate passages
they waved the flags which they held
in their hands, producing a very
pleasing effect. Hon. L. E. Gossman,
OF Crookston, was next introduced
and delivered a very excellent and
eloquent grafton, replete with good
thoughts for such IN occasion. He
dwelt particularly on the industrial
advancement of the United States.
1t was a scholarly effort, and we res
greet our inability to publish the
speech in full. The Glee Club sang
another song and then Hon. C. M.
King, the silver tongued orator OF
Annandale, Wright Co., was intro.
duced. Hei a most finished speaker,
and his grafton, which was delivered
without preparation, was a most
happy effort pure in diction, patri-
otto in sentiment and eloquent in de-
livery. In beautiful words he por-
traYed the growth and advancement
OF civilization from the Dark CONT
nent to the shores of the Medi-
terranean, to England and finally to
the Western Continent. We wish we
could publish the speech in full. Al
ter another song and some more
music by the band, adjournment was
taken for a picnic dinner. Free cot
fee and free lemonade were furnished
in abundant quantities, and was IL
feature that was highly valued by
visitors. Dinner being over with the
people proceeded up town to the race
trak where the afternoon sports were
