Kenosha Citizens Find Many Ways of
Making Merry on the Birthday
of the Nation.
oRAToRY AT pADDocK's LAKE.
Crowd of 1000 Gather at the old Settlers
Grounds.-other Celebrations in
and About the City

The celebration of the Fourth of
July in this city was quiet one and
had not the small boy kept the fire
crackers booming all day long it is
probable that the nations birthday
would have been neglected by our
citizens.
The day dawned bright and clear
and toward noon the temperature got
ambitious and scared to point where
it made it too hot to do anything save
lie in the shade or go to the lake shore
where a cooling breeze in some way
mitigated the heat of the sun.
All sorts of picnics were held IN the
different groves about the city, but the
crowds while large, were not enthusias-
tic, and they preferred to drink che
cooling amber beverage rather than
celebrate. Many speakers were invit-
ed to attend the picnics, but the
weather was too hot and the people
were not in moou to listen to speeches.
The two grand parades scheduled
for the morning hours failed to mate
ria1ize and the only demonstration on
the streets in the way of pageant
was a co1ored band advertising the
barbecue at Central park.
Towards evening the town got
little more enthusiastic and the small
boy kept up his fusi1ade of fireworks
until early morning. In the meantime
a number Of pretty displays were sent
up by private parties and for an hour
or two the heavens were filled with
rockets and Roman candles and gen
erous supply of powder was burned.
At the Country Club
One of the main celebrations Of the
day was held at the Kenosha Country
Club, and the hot weather failed to put
a damper on the spirits of enthusiast
tic golfers. The play for the different
cups began early in the morning, and
all day long the golfers knocked the
balls around the field and smashed the
hot weather records of the club.
The fight over the Presidents cup
was a tame one, as many of the best
PLAYERS in the club had been left out
after the primaries. The fight for the
other cups, however, was warm. Ches-
ter Allen and E. L. Grant had the best
match of the day, and it required
twenty-seven holes to end the match,
Allen winning by a score of one up.
George A. Yu1e and James Kehlor also
had a hard match, Yu1e winning by
one up after twenty-one holes had been
played Bertho1f Petit and Col. Aiken
played a long match of twenty-one
holes resulting in victory for Petit
by a score of one-up. The finals IN
the cup contests have not been ar
ranged for, and the players will play
off as suits their convenience.
