before daylight this morning, and very
probably before the sun is one hour high
this morning he will be teasing his parents
for more fireworks money. Many people
are going to spend the day in the country;
thousands are expecting, according TO indi-
cations. to witness the bicycle races; many,
no doubt, will witness the baseball games,
while many others will attend the Union
Soldiers Mutual League celebration. Nearly
everybody is going to celebrate and remind
themselves that they are part OF a free
nation.
After the first smoke OF the celebration
has swept away this morning, there will be
the bicycle parade to attract the attention
of all persons in the city. The affair prom

at the Fairgrounds in the afternoon. The
procession will form at $50 O'Clock. on the
Mississippi-street side of the Capitol build
ing. AS the weather promises to be pleas

who would not take part if it were hot.
Some of the wheelmen are expecting to
have 5000 riders in sight, which would make
a procession about two miles in length and
be an unusual sight. At the conclusion of
the parade there will be a baseball game at
the ball park opposite the fairgrounds, be-
tween the Waverley and Outing mines, two
Of the strongest teams of the City Lea que.
The Indianapolis baseball management made
an effort to prevent the game. as it has a
lease upon the park for holidays, but last
night IL was announced that an understand
ing had been reached and the game would
take place.
The interests of all bicycle riders and
friends of the sport centers to-day in the
races at the fairgrounds, which begin
promptly at 2 o'clock. BY a glance at the
entries it is seen that a number OF outsiders
lave entered each event, and the Indianapo-
lis riders will be compelled TO ride their best.

chosen referee for the afternoon. Will
