The play given by the fire depart.
ment last Friday evening at the OPP
era house drew one of the largest
crowds OF the season, the people thus
showing their appreciation OF the
work which the boys have done.
The cast of characters included
GINS Rapier, Fred Deverman, J. A
Waltmire, CIR Strain, Oh Mourning,
Gny Harper, Mrs. ]. A. Waltmire,
MISS Minnie Billingslea and Miss
Elizabeth Doughty, and the fire de-
partmeut in the fire scene. We were
advised that there was an interlude
of sixteen years between the prologue
and first net, but it really came be-
tween the second and third acts.
Gus Rapier of course always has
the audience with him from first to
last. The amateur players all showed
the effect of careful training. OF the
men Messrs. Devermen and Waltmire
had the leading parts, and right well
did they maintain them Miss
Doughty, as the heroine, had the
tretihS iulc VI tue plhlf anu sur
prised all by the talent she displayed,
Her grace and ease of manner com
bined with clear and expressive
voice make her well fitted for any
role she may take. Miss Minnie Bill
lingslea, as the widow, also did ex-
cellently and captivated the audience.
The thrilling FIRE scene was fitting
climax to a good play, and the climax
of the fire scene brought down the
house.

to mind.
The bicycle and horse parade in
the afternoon presented some very
unique and entertaining features and
the moderate temperature enabled
them to extend the parade over much
more of the town than usual.
The ten mile bicycle road race at
tracted more attention than any other
event of the day, but lost much of its
interest because so many of the en-
tries were scratched. Bob Morich of
three minute class won first prize,
Jamie Pike same class won second
prize, C. n. Simms riding from
scratch won third prize and first time
prize in 31;10, Ollie Steward won
fourth place.
The various horse, foot and novelty
races were hotly contested and were
the cause of much sport and amuse-
ment. There was large number of
entries in these races and all seemed
to enjoy the fun, vanquished as well
victors.
In the evening tho streets were
crowded with people to watch the
beautiful display of fireworks which
the committee had prepared for the
occasion. At the conclusion of this
part of the program large portion
of the crowd went to Golladay's op
era house to the ball, and kept up
the celebrating until long after the
Fourth of July, 1898, was thing Of
the past.
