Our Citizens Turn Out En MasSe to Celebrate May Day With
 the Children
No End of Amusement to the Young PeOple.-The WOrkmen and WOodmen Deserving
 of Praise.

I0AAClI " N0oNAA-ANA eAAN@ Workmen, was to be held. Men, wo- men and children crowded into the l vehicles, while,men, women and chil- | dren went afoot. By l:30 D. m., the largest crowd that had ever gath cred at the race track grounds were present to witness the sports of the day. The grand stand was crowded to its fullest capacity, while surg ing mass of humanity was crowding around the May pole platform, and on the banks on each side of the race track. The crowd was variously estimated at from 5000 to $500, the grand stand alone having a capacity of nearly one-half of the former number. To those who served luncheon to the children, it seemed, they said, as if there were 2,000 or 5000 of them alone, from the rapid ity with which the sandwiches and lemonade disappeared.
 Everything passed of during the day pleasantly, and without an incl dent or accident to mar the oeca- sion.
 The May pole dance by the chil- dren of the public school and the kindergarten, was well executed and was pleasing to all.
 The Prescott Brass Band was pres ent in the afternoon and discoursed music.
 It was a great day for young Amerlca, and he and his little sister enjoyed themselves as only happy, rollicking little ones can. No event was overlooked by them from start to finish.
 The first event of the day was a base ball game between the printers and the railroad boys. Prize, Sl0, given bv M. Gratz. This resulted in a tie, with a score of g each. An other game for the prize will be played next Sunday.
