LAMAR's FOURTH.
The Day Is Celebrated by our citi-
xens In Patriotic style.

gest celebration of Independence
Day that Lamar has had for many
years. There were more people in
town than we have had for a long
time. and all seemed pleased with
the manner IN which the day was
passed.
The majority of the business
houses were closed up for the day,
and the merchants and clerks all
joined in the celebration. This was
a very agreeable feature of the day,
but also had its drawbacks for those
who forgot that the business men
had announced their intention to
close for the day.
The sunrise anvil salute was the
least enjoyed feature of the day, as
it was very cool that morning and
many of the citizens were making
up lost sleep. At $50 the ball game

pleasing features Of the day, especial

to an Grafton By CRANKY Hillyer, the
eloquent orator of the day. This
part Of the program was the drawing
card Of the day with the people who
enjoyed the outing immensely. The
committee that had this part of the
progrm in charge came in for severe
condemnation, however, for the fail
ure to provide ice water and lemon
ade ss announced The money was
subscribed for this and the people
came there expecting it, but through
an oversight OF the committee there
was none on hands.
At O'Clock in the afternoon the
races at the track north of town com
menced. The first was three mile
bicycle race and was easily won by
| Ora Cinssne, aud he also won the
five mile race later on The trotting
race was won by Hugh Douglas
mare driven by Dan Mclean. The
regular running race was won by
Jim Bradley's pony.
Purses for several other running
races were made up on the grounds
and they were run after the regular
program was finished
A purse was made up for bron-
cho breaking exhibition but the bron-
cho did not seem to understand the
game" and that part of the pro
gram was com plete fizzle. The
foot race Of course went to Ed Sill
YER, rs every one who has sesn Ed
run expected it would. There were
number of novelty races after
wards which furnished great deal
of amusement for the crowd and es-
pecially for the young folks.
After supper the fireworks COM
mittee entertained the people for
over an hour with brilliant display
| of fireworks.
Probably no other feature of the
days celebration was as pleasing to
all the people as the patriotic music
furnifhed by the Colebourn family
band This band is improving all
the time, and they devote great
deal of time to practice. The quail
ity of music they are furnifhing is
greatly appreciated by our people,
and they are deserving of a great
deal of encouragement.
And last, but by no means the
le .st feature of the days events, was
the grand ball at Gollaaay's hall
