Fourth of July Notes.

Those of our citizens who attended
the celebration of the Fourth AT Lake
Waha, report that they had most
pleasant and enjoyable time. Quite
large crowd was there and passed Off
the time by boat riding on tie lake,
strolling through the woods, fishing,
dancing, etc.
The celebration at Uniontown was
well attended and a fine programme
fully carried out We failed to learn
who delivered the Grafton but under
stand that it was mastery effort and
did justice to the occasion. The fire
works at night were beautiful and all
went away feeling that they had done
honor to the national holiday.
While Lewiston did not celebrate,
yet the bulk of her people celebrated
abroad. Those who remained at home
had their residences and places of busi-
ness profusely decorated, which mani
tested patriotic spirit that is certainly
commendable. In the evening, fire
works, on Il small scale, were dis
played by private individuals, princi-
pally for their own amusement.
The celebration at Moscow, we
understand, was very largely attended,
and men, who are capable of judging,
say there were fully four thousand peo-
pie present Several bands were in at
tendance and furnished music, and
speechifying was INDUCED in by local
gentlemen. Lewiston people, who
were present, say the programme was
very good one and that the reading
of the Declaration of Independence by
Mss Sadie Poe, of this city, can not be
complimcnted enough. The fireworks
display in the evening was elaborate
and beautiful and lasted for several
hours.
The largest number of our citizens
attended the Fourth exercises at Cen
esee, and estimate the gathering pres
ent between fifteen hundred and two
thousand people. They say that the
programme arranged was good one
and was successfully carried out.
Judge Norman Buck, an old lewiston
ian, delivered an elegant Grafton which
was favorably commented upon by all
present. The display Of fireworks at
night was grand and would have done
credit to much larger place. All from
here, who attended, say the Geneseeites
spread themselves and certainly ac
complished all they sought.
The celebration at Ft. Lapwai was
not as largely attended this year as i
has been at the last two celebrations
owing to the fact that celebrations wer'
so numerous this season. Lewiston
was represented by quite a nunlbe
and all report that, while the crowt
: was not as large as was expected, th'
: exercises were carried out in good tast
: and that everybody enjoyed them
: selves. The Industrial School IndiaI
l band furnished we'll selected music dur
ing the day, which, we understand
e WAS especially good. A lengthy repor
of the days proceedings was received
!, but was too late for publication.
The celebration at Kendrick was
model one. The crowd was large an
happy, and the programme, that ha
been SO carefully arranged beforehand
was pleasing in every respect. Th
y Lewiston band was present and fu1
nished music for the occasion, whic
!. went far to make the celebration a SUI
> cess. Hon. J. H. Forney, of Nj
u Idaho, delivered the Grafton and thos
present say it was one Of the be-
Fourth of July addresses they ha
= listened to in many years. The di
play of we'll selected fireworks VIZ
l. above the average; and, taking ever!
thing into consideration, the citizel
's of Kendrick can well afford to fe
u proud of their second undertaking.
