quiet manner, so far public celebration
was concerned, but there was the usual

announced the nations natal day.
Many people went down the harbor or out
| in the sound on private steamers and sail
| ing craft. Others patronized the Horse
| GUARDS excursion to New YORK and the
afternoon trip of the Northam. The throng
who went out of town on the trains was
also quite large. Flags were generously
displayed and there were other evidences
of the patriotic character of the day. The
letter carriers made only one morning de-
livery and the postofice closed at noon.
Most of the stores also closed.

thrown into an open horse car as it was
passing the car stables, and when the ex-
polsion came there was quite fright.
Some jumped from the car, others screamed,
but no one was injured.

jured in front of the Grand avenue school
house, his cannon exploding prematurely.
His hand was hit by the hammer and pain
