Labor day in Marshalltown was quite
generally observed. altho no very ex-
tensive arrangements We're made for a
public celebration. There was ainuse
ment enough for all, however, and those
who did not go away for a quiet picnic
either played golf, attended the track
eventsa Finkle's park or attended the
Odd Fellow and Rebekah picnic at the
Soldiers Home.
4 A majority of the business houses
closed during the afternoon. and some
of them did not open their doors during
the day. The Iowa Central shops and
office employees We're given day off,
and other Industrial establishments
closed down The sa looms closed Of ne
,cessity, as did the banks The morning
trains were all.loaded with visitors COM
Ing to the city to attend the races.or the

The attraction to secure the largest
crowd was the track events at Flnkle
park, under the auspices of the Mar

Association. The program arranged cons
sisted Of trotting and pacing races be-
between the various companies of the
city department and bicycle races be-
tween local riders. The Forty-ninth
regiment band was secured by the ass
ISOLATION for the day, and after meeting
the morning trains gave concert on
the court house lawn, which wac lis
tened to by a large crowd. The band
also played at the park during the track
events.
