sD-The glorious Fourth passed
of with acclaim and honor at JAS
per yesterday. There was a fine
procession of the G. A. X. and the
base ball clubs, headed by the Star
Band, marched out to the grove.
The Band concert was a continuous
display of fine gems of music, and
shows what the band boys are ca
pable of when they try. The i'm
mortal Declaration was well read by
comrade Hunter, and patriotic ad
dresses delivered by Hon. j. l..
Bretz and w. s. Hunter, Esq.
The people were not quite up to
the pleasure of carrying their din
ners out to the grove and eating
with friends under the shade of the
trees, and SO there was not the dis
play Of general and generous hospi-
tality in that regard there should
have been, but the prodigality OF
the base ball clubs made up for that
in good measure, as they had pro-
vided generously for themselves and
friends, and entertained the visiting
teams with their ladies', and many
others.
In the afternoon the base ball
teams attracted an attendance Of
about 800, whoall seemed to enjoy
it.
At Cedar Garden, also, there was
a big crowd Of merry dancers, and
the enjoyment was kept up till late
at night.
The 5. Of V. dance at Kunkel's
at night was a pleasant affair
enough in attendance for comfort
and pleasure, and yet not over
crowded.
