large quantities Of powder burned
explodes the idea that rain can be
produced by such methods.
The Brown artillery opened the
day with the usual salute which
brings all citizens, patriotic or other
wise. out of their beds in the early
morn.
The exercises OF the morning con
sisted of music by the Colebourn
band, Cactus club and Glover Leaf
club; the reading of the Declaration
of Independence by Miss Lennie
Novels, and a patriotic speech by
Judge Novels.
The basket dinner in the alfalfa
pavilion was one of the most enjoy
able events of the day. The heat
and picnic lemonade did not seem to
diminish the appetite Of the crowd
in the least.
The parade at o'clock was not so
large as some seen in the town, but
the chief feature was the famous
Anti Racket band. This celebrated
organization vas il fall Uniform and
carried 30 instruments with them
besides their "commissay. Their
instruments were made especially
for them in Paris, and the music was
prepared for their exclusive use by
the most renowned foreign compos-
ers. Altogether it is a safe bet that
no town the size of Lamar in the
country can come anywhere near
duplicating this organization.
At the conclusion of the parade
the races advertised by the commit
tee were run. The novelty races
took place on Main street and the
bicycle and horse ras-5 were run at
the track east Of town. The results
and prizes were as follows:
Sack race-1st, NJ. Shelton, pocket
knife by F. E Irwin; Ind, Fred
