Many business houses closed on the 4th,
AMI, nearly every one determined to enjoy the
day. Driving and picnic parties were par
ticipated in by both young and old. Young
America was out in full force, and the officers
gave them full freedom to celebrate. which
they did with so much enthusiasm as to make
an ordinary Chinese turn green with envy.
In the morning there was parade by the Fire
Department, Washington Camp, No. 5, P.
o. S. of A. and Westminster Council Junior
o. U. A. NJ. Col. Samuel X. Herr was the
chief marshal and had as aids Messrs. Chas.

At night there was an unusually fine dis
play of fire works from one end of the city to
the other, which, with colored lights, rockets
and balloons, &C., gave much pleasure to
both young and old.
A correspondent at Winchester Place gives
the following as to the celebration there:
At Winchester Place the morning was given
up to parades by the younger element and u
few VETERANS" The right wing formed on
Main street with the left wing at Mrs. She'll
man s gate, and headed by Drum Major Smart,
assisted by Corporals Gephard and Kennedy,
the procession moved in fine order to and
through the beautiful grounds of Winchester
Place, saluting the huttering flags with thun-
dering hurrahs. Miss Shellman's trombone,
Corporal Gephard's Cornet and Drum Major
Smart's hand organ made the national air an
inspiriting feature of the occasion. The rank
and file was composed of Registers, Habits
tons, Gephards, Kennedys, Vanderfords, and
others, and was credit to the unique military
tactics of the Drum Major, under whom they
were drilled for this parade. Rank was
broken with three rousing cheers for the flag
in tones ranging from one end of the gamut
to the other.
A very fine display of fireworks at night,
followed by an enjoyable dance, wound up a
day in which patriotism and the spirit of '76
overt owed in all directions.

between the Frizellburg club and the club at
this place, resulted unfavorably for our boys.
The score stood IS to 20 in favor of Frizell-
burg. Owing to the busy season some of the
home clubs regular players could not get of
from their work. That and some bad play
ing on the part of our boys beat them.
