Logan, July s. True to the promises
of the u. n. G.. of Logan and the
Logan Wheel club, the Fourth of July
at this place was a day of unbounded
pleasure and patriotism. While the
hour of the day was still early, scores
of wagons and carriages of every kind
and description came rolling in to
Logan from every point of the compass
and before the National Guard had
fired their first salute at the court
house square, the streets of the Queen
City of Utah were crowded. The par
ade was witnessed and enjoyed by
most of Cache county's citizens and
by many of the good people from
Oneida and other adjoining counties.
1t was after II o'clock when the par
ade reached the Tabernacle square,
and Marshal of the Day OrmSby, with
numerous other prominent citizens, as
cended and took seats on the grand
stand and the programme was COM
menced by music from the Wellsville
brass band. The invocation was offer
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Climints, after
which Judge Advocate c. II. Hart,
read the Declaration of Independence;
then came the feature of the day, the
grafton by Frank K. Nebeker, Mr..
Nebeker is a pleasant speaker and was
frequently applauded for the patriotic
sentiments he gave utterance. The
Star Spangled Banner was sung with
great effect by the assembled thou
sands, led by Prof. Lewis and accom-
panied by the Mendon brass band.
Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves
and after the services at the square
were ended and everybody with his
,iFliS- cd n %
wants of the inner man, they all, old
and young, betook themselves to the
resort or as it is more generally
known, Johnson'S grove. Here the
Wheel club have a race course for
which Logan feels justly proud, and
on the course was enacted ten of the
most interesting and exciting races
the people of Cache have witnessed
this season. There was no records
broken, it is true, but perhaps the fact
the wind was blowing a gale right in
the faces of the riders would account
for this. The merchants of Logan are
to be commended for their liberalty
in offering prizes for the winners, thus
giving a stimulus to this healthful and
consequently manly sport. After the
races and when night had spread her
black mantle over the face of nature,
the gentlemen and lady cyclists of
Logan gave a bicycle parade with Chi
nese lanterns, while citizens and mem
bers of the L. n. G.. tickied the man
in the moon by shooting rockets and
Roman candles at him. And as fit
ting conclusion to a day so well spent
Frank Earl, the genial and happy
faced manager of the resort, gave
grand ball at that place.
We are much pleased to learn that
Mr.. H. II. Peterson, one of the lead
ing merchants of Hyrum, who had the
misfortune, some weeks ago, to run
rusty nail into his foot, has now re-
covered and able to attend to business.
