Mayor Gourley Asks for Nothing More But
Good Weather.
LOOKING FOR 100000 AT THE PARK

''If we have a pretty day on Monday not
less than 100000 people will attend the
Fourth of July celebration" said Mayor
Gourley just before starting for home last
evening. The Mayor il worried about the
weather. Everything else is in good
shape. There is still about 5000 needed
to defray the expenses of the day, but
several public-spirited men have offered
to help make up the deficit and Chief
Bigelow has agreed to make good another
$500 for extra fireworks If the weather
pans out nicely the Mayors figures would
seem to be conservative enough, and. though
it was raining hard last night at midnight,
there is no reason to suppose that tomorrow
will be anything but an ideal Fourth of
July.
Yesterday Schenley Park near the bridge
looked like Western boom town. Hold
ers of refreshment stand privileges had
erected rough board stands and tents
numerously, and the air about the whole
place was that of expectancy of something
big to come.
The Mayor yesterday sent out grand
stand tickets to all the contributors for the
morning exercises and badges for the racep-
tion committees He wants all the recep-
tion committees to be on hand by 8 O'Clock
tomorrow morning Nogrsndstsnd tickets
will be issued for the fireworks at night, as
it will not be a good place to view them,
the hillside being point of view.
Arrangements were positively made yes
terday to have two merry-go-rounds at the
park tomorrow. One will be an ordinary
affair, such as have been about tie city for
years past, but the other will be novelty,
consisting of bicycle arrangement, but
fixed so that any child can ride Owners
of both these machines have been per-
mitted to charge small fee.
